Hey all, Besides posting an introduction, I am going to post
a little code of conduct for myself which you guys can use as well as a good
resource of what to do in the early days of joining a community.
it’s like you are shifting homes, how is the community going
to accept you if on the very first day you shift you start bragging about
different stuff and shout out loud for no reason and for many times a day. Same
thing. So let me introduce myself first.
My name is Muddaser Altaf; I have been into an online
business for almost a decade now. I have a broad portfolio from websites to
YouTube channel to mobile apps. I basically am a sales trainer but online
business is my hobby you may say. Do I earn enough to live happily, yes I do :)
but why would I come to this community then. The answer is simple, I like to
explore. Like people like to travel the world, I like to travel the internet.
I am yet single and live in United Arab Emirates; loving
this country and hope my country Pakistan would be as civilized as them soon.
I have made so many mistakes and lost a good amount of money
on online ventures but the good thing is, I never got fed up, I always believed
the internet is the next big thing and it is.
Even though I am happy with my earnings now I have had many
failures in life and I am going to write all the lessons which I learned from
my failure here. This is where the money is (for the readers) by the way I am
not an expert. If anyone would struggle for a decade, they would get something
right?
I am always learning and happy to learn from any one.
Steemit was introduced to me by my Facebook friend @ilyastarar and he truly is
a gem, do follow.
Education
It’s funny but I had almost tasted all the fields of basic
education, I started of matriculation with biology, intermediate (high school)
in pre-engineering, bachelors in commerce and the masters in marketing. ha-ha,
its weird but this has been useful to me specially now as I speak publically
(remember I am a sales trainer) I can talk about quite a number of fields
(somehow)
Was I a back bencher? Not at all, one of the brightest,
example: I got 4 out of 4 GPA in my MBA in the second semester and overall
3.71.
Diplomas and certificates? Too many, BBC English (it has
been very long though so don’t judge them on my English lol), Train the
trainer, group training, handling conversations, project management etc.
Career:
I started earning via freelancing when I was doing
bachelors, through upwork.com (then called odesk) as a writer and SEO expert.
It was not the first time I got engaged with the internet, but was the first
time to physically earn something,
Actually, it all started with PPC sites back in my school
days when my friend used to earn his pocket money from these sites that I got
interested in this entire internet phenomenon. I never earn anything through
PPC, to be honest. Because I got attracted to those sites which were fake, even
though I was told they are fake but the Pay per click they were offering was
quite higher than others so I though people are jealous. Haha.
Then a blog and a YouTube channel and now Mobile apps are my
new attraction.
Job-wise, I started with sales, "counter sales"
getting off to the duty manager and the sales trainer, it's been quite a
journey and my management is happy with me. :) So yeah.
Personal life:
I don’t know yet, why? I love to help people. It’s a medical
problem I think. Because I some time go out of the way, even causing myself
into troubles just to help someone. :( I can't help it. It’s like an addiction
when I help, I feel good. This is how I am.
One brother and one sister. Sister is married already and I
am looking for the perfect one.
I think that’s it from my side, now let’s get to the code of
conduct:
I will not get
carried away:
The glare of money, popularity, and reputation may lead me
to come here several times a day in the early days, even disturbing my normal
schedule. So I will give a good amount of time to steemit, but this much that I
can continue giving.
I will not run for
money:
Creating posts for the sake of money making will eventually
show the community that I am here for this reason and they would stop seeing me
as a resource. People are smart.
I will not
spam/overpost:
Who likes it? Not me.
I will interact:
Can I just post some content and run away and never
appreciate others for what they are doing? Should I expect people to read my
stuff and appreciate me while not even going through anyone else's post?
I will make
friends:
Life is too short to stay away from good people. Steemit
looks like an amazing community of people looking for good friends, I will
follow.
I will not abuse:
If I don't agree with someone's thoughts, I may mention that
in a polite way but I am not here to criticize or abuse.
I will bring value
to the community:
I will not just post random stuff without value; I will try
to bring as much value as I can.
Hope to hear from you as well.
