Is It Also a Place for Ordinary People?
When I started steemit a month ago after reading an interesting news about how its value have increased to 1000%, I told myself that this might help my family’s problem, Scarcity. After creating my account, I started posting stupid post and started to realize that I have another problem, I don’t know how to write. I’m just nobody, I have not graduated any college course and if somebody will rate my English communication from 1 – 10, mine is at 1-2. I’m trying my best to sustain the needs of my family.
After a few days reading posts, I noticed that we need to come up with a good introduction post to verify my identity, so I started plotting my introduction post, plotting is different in writing, it means that I have to think a lot to come up with the post. After a few days, 3 weeks I guess, I have posted my introduction followed by another 2 posts.
As I continue to read posts every day, I noticed that every people who made an introduction post and raked impressive rewards are somebody, somebody who possess a good personality profile, a good skill such as programming and developing skills, a beautiful woman, a high profile individual, a rich guy, a journalist, a model, a good writer, a traveler, an oligarch, in short an interesting people and none of these qualifications even a bit has something to do with me, I won’t compare myself to them coz it makes me feel small.
I read comments every day and also observed that the community wanted more to join and steemit, urging others to help Zambrano the model to gain good upvotes so she can invite her network to steemit. With this, I told myself if I could invite my Belgian CEO would it be an advantage to the community? But there’s a doubt within myself, how can I convince my boss to join?
To begin, I started asking few people to help me gain upvotes on the invitation post that I will be creating for my boss because it would be very easy for me to convince him if he sees my post rewards. One of the persons I asked was 
Let me show you what’s inside my house, I’m doing this because I wanted to show everybody here on steemit how real I am. I’m supposed to be ashamed with the look of my house but I think there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
This is my house, a 25 square meter house and I don’t think any high earners here can surpass 2 days staying in this kind of house considering their current way of living. Only poor people can endure staying here.
This is our 6ft x 8ft room. Imagine when you sleep your feet touches on the wall and your head on the side of the wall :)
This is actually my 2nd house and the first one was taken by huge flood last December 17, 2011. I will not go into details about it, it doesn’t matter anymore. Do I have plans of building another house that’s a bit nicer for my family? Of course yes but for now it’s difficult because I’m just earning $500 a month, for a married man with 3 boys and a wife, this is not enough, maybe it is 10 years ago.
