Today is a memorable day for me. A day that will go down in my history as the day I stopped working as a Fiverr Seller after five years of active services on the marketplace.
After 6 weeks creating and curating content on Steemit, I finally took a bold step to quit Fiverr.
Yes, Fiverr I quit.
To be frank with you, I have always given it a hard thought of calling it a day on Fiverr. I just knew the time wasn't right then, and I was still enjoying the extra income my fast selling gigs generate.
Finally, after submitting what happens to be my last order on Fiverr last Wednesday (28/06/2017) I immediately put my account on vacation so I can become a Full-Time Steemian.
This morning, I wake up feeling refreshed and full of passion to Steem ON.
NOW MY STEEMIT PROMOTION JOURNEY BEGINS
In one of my recent post here:
I wrote about how I used a Steemit e-members card as my Facebook Profile Image Cover that got the attention of a Bitcoin exchanger who happens to be my Facebook contact.
"Presently, I am in the process of recruiting one of Nigeria's first digital currency exchanger Adelola Sokoya https://www.facebook.com/adelolasokoya/about.
He is the owner of Swift Ecurrency exchange website http://www.swiftecurrency.com, a legitimate digital currency exchange company in Lagos, Nigeria.
I will be going to his office this morning to do a presentation on Steem and Steemit, and definitely, open an account for him on Steemit after the presentation."
I am glad to announce that it was a success. A big thank you to everyone that wished me luck and upvoted that post, your support meant a lot to me.
I got him to make his introduction post - https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@jazes/dont-just-socialize-steemit
@jazes is a creative public speaker with a lot of cryptos followers and friends. We currently have a plan to start using his big influences to promote Steemit.
From today, Steemit remains my home on the Internet. A big thank you to Steem Dev Team and everyone that contribute to the success of this unique community.
Until my next post... STEEM ON!
Good stuff and Fiverr is just terrible imo. It brings down the value of services to such a ridiculous level that local companies / talent can't compete.
And pays little to sellers compare to the enormous job you will get. Thank you for your comment.
exactly. And it makes it so difficult to compete, as if we can live on peanuts.
Fiverr is a big clown. Now I have found the real deal #steemgigs
Yeah i see complex VBA scripts going for $20. I remember similar stuff going for hundreds if not thousands at a big corporation.

We also have a portion for devs if you are a developer. We are currently above 150 steemians offering services!
I am already on the Steemgigs channel.
Seems like a good move to me! Really enjoy spending time over here on Steemit and you must as well ;). It seems that the quick growing of the platform is creating new types of posts in an amazing fashion and making people of all types of interests flock to the platform. Have fun out there and good luck on your future posts!
Yes Steemit is growing and we begin to see more creative posts. Thank you for the well wishes.
Congratulations. I am happy for you.
Thank you so much @stellabelle.. It is an honor to have you read my post.
Welcome to steemit! Keep it up.
Your post are very interesting, I followed you and equally upvote, I don't have much on my page, just got into steemit not long, anyway I'm coming up
Hey Tunji, I am glad you find my posts interesting. I am starting a Steemit for Nigeria group soon, will you be interested?
Sure the top is where you belong with Steemit my brother
Nice. Keep it up!
The more people being active on the steem blockchain the better. That's why I also like busy.org and chainbb.com besides steemit.com. This is a great time to become an active steem player.
Yeah you are right. The more people on the network the more rewards we all get. Thank you for your comment.
Welcome home,buddy 🙂
Very bold step indeed. Good luck with your journey! I am sure you will succeed here
donate vote. i like you
Thank you. You are awesome
Welcome @lucashunter well done!
Way to GO FULLTIME .....STEEM ON !!
This is great news! You will do just fine in this new field. Best of luck!
Wish you the best in starting your full career on steemit. Don't forget to check out steemgigs where you can offer your services in return for steem dollars. By the way, I am in no way associated with steemgigs. Ps, i'll be checking out swiftecurrency.com. It would be most interesting if I could sell btc and have amt deposited in a local bank account in Nigeria. I am not in or from Nigeria but i'd like to hope that there are a few legit exchanger that can allow for that possibility.
I have known @jazes for a very long time. I can vouch he offers a legit service and will work as instructed. Thank you for your comment.
Ar! Nice, I hope you can invite more friends take part in the steemit thank you support
Super Awesome dude!

Thanks buddy, there are so many opportunities here.
Congrats dude!
Thank you my friend.
Too bad the cost of SBD is so weak right now. Might not've been the best decision.
Right now is the best time to get some SBD, the price will always come up some time later. Thank you for your concern. God bless you.
@lucashunter, congrats on your transition from 9 to 5 to full time steemian. I wish you all the success here. May you prosper and be happy. God bless !!
Amen! and God bless you too
