Hello Steemit!
My name is Nico,17 years old from Albania.I currently live in Frankfurt,Germany.I am here to learn german language so maybe next year when i finish high school in my country i can continue university in Germany.
There is not really much to talk about me ,as a kid i was always curious how things worked.I was,hmmm not was , i am still in love with the smell of fresh paper,i get motivated by keyword typing and marketing is my secret crush haha.Even tho we do english in my school most of it i learned online which is pretty cool.Sometime i go on my old facebook just to see how bad my English was(i still need improvements) .
I saw a computer at the age of 6 for the first time in my life.Then when i was in Canada at the summer of 2008,i had the chance to play there for the second time in my life!! Things got mad in 2009 when i turned 9 years old,my friend took me to a internet-caffe and i registered on facebook,ah man good old times i was shy to talk to a girl online,lol,now that i remember that girl account must have been fake or owned by some dude who was trying to get chips in Texas Holdem Poker(pretty popular game in that time haha).Then most of time i spend playing facebook games (from them i learned basics,how to use Cheats,yeah the things you can find in youtube,but for me that was a miracle and everyone considered me smart asf! ) But i realized it was no sense when i learned programming.
I was introduced to programming when i was 15 years old so in the summer of 2015 i started learning PHP(also html and css of course),did a couple of projects,then moved on into C++,looked boring to me so i didn't continue it.I worked on creating my PHP game,did some basic design some basic features,then after a year -> 2016,since i had learned more about programming i decided to re-code the game,did many assets of it then meet some guys,we made a team,they were really dedicated to my idea ,we moved the game into flash(as3+php).It took around 5 months to build everything (well not everything,about 35% ,than i decided to publish it).Game had ups and down's till we fully completed.After that it became boring again,i decided to retire and leave all my winnings from game (not that much,since it has around 100 player's) to the server.Ah also when i was 11-13 years old i created sites in web 2.0 platforms such as Blogspot,weebly,wix.I have uploaded many youtube videos,when i looked recently some of them had hit the mark of +1m views (which is a really high considering it was in my language and there are around 10milions Albanians around the world).But as a noob at that age ,i had no idea what the fork was adsense. Also at this time i managed one facebook page (again albanian language,which got 18k likes then i gave it to my friend and he sold it -.-.But 18k at that time was pretty damn good,Albanian top page on facebook was 200k likes at that time,ah good old days )
At the moment this happened it was January of 2017,and basically i had nothing to do just to chat with girls and waste time like most of the people in my country ( i realized i was becoming a parasite).Well time goes fast when you are a parasite and when i understood that ,it was May 2017 which mean my second year in high school will end in 1 month,than three months vocations and BOOM ,LAST YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN F*CK YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE WHICH UNIVERSITY YOU WILL GO,and then you remember most of schools(everything) in your country is corrupted,so even if you study hard you will work for 350$/month.God damn it,i knew i got to do something.So that's what i did,my brother in law had moved in Germany around 2013 i guess ,so i had to goo too.In Germany i learned many things and fak yeah,my mentality changed for good,i guess.
Meanwhile this summer i also did internet marketing(couple of cpa,shopify etc etc).I run one blog at the moment which i do guides and tutorial's for internet marketing,SEO and other stuff like that.
I heard about steemit on an only forum,they say you guys offer a great community and that's why i came here.
Looking forward to make new friends and of course to learn new stuff.
Have A Great Day!
