Lots of Steemians have been asked this question;

"What does Steemit mean to you?"

Some people tend to answer this question subjectively. In cases like this, you may hear them go as far as saying "Steemit is my life" and the likes of this, although in truth, they joined Steemit for just one reason... I'm quite sure we know what this reason is.

Lots of people joined Steemit with one motive - TO MAKE THE MONEY! Although, we know at some point majority of steembees (members of kingbee) did this too because it was so amazing, discovering a platform where you could write and make money. With this in view, people began their journey on Steemit. Along the way, most persons got hooked up and discovered that they can't do without it, just as we get hooked to other social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. While some persons, just like the parable of the sower, grew weary and left because the reason why they joined was not being achieved... I know most persons understand how difficult and frustrating it is for a newbie to find footing on Steemit.

Now back to the original question of what Steemit means.

Steemit means a lot of things to a lot of people. From the general perspective, Steemit is a community that connects people from all corners of the world; Blacks, Whites, Asians, rich, poor, photographers, poets, writers etc.
It is a platform that rewards based on the contents of your work and frowns on plagiarism and nepotism.

Steemit comes with a lot of benefits;
The ability for persons to earn via the platform has helped in the alleviation of poverty. Using a scenario of the average Nigerian graduate, who leaves school with nothing to do and no means of income to fend for him/herself. Steemit has given such a person a perfect opportunity to showcase what he/she can do, when the government and even the society at large seems to have nothing to offer. And the beautiful thing about it is that making money on Steemit is as legal as it can be...
With the provision of financial security for people, the poverty rate has decreased and this has inadvertently reduced crime rate.
As we all know, the highest cause of crime in the society poverty.. Steemit has therefore helped in taking young jobless persons off the street and has given them an out to help themselves. Why bother risking your life getting involved in criminal activities when you can use your intellect and make money rightly?

Asides from the financial benefits that comes with Steemit, Steemit has provided a beautiful environment to learn new things. Based on the fact that Steemit rewards "quality content", persons strives to get better at what they do, to improve their skills. For those who write, they work harder to deliver a better written piece, those into photography also try to provide better photos.
Contests are continuously been organized where people can show their prowess in the areas where they feel fit. At the end of the day, you find that how you were when you first came aboard on the Steemit train have witnessed improvements and there have been a much needed adjustment in your life.

Steemit comprises of people from different parts of the world who have different ideas and different views, and it presents to one a perfect place to learn from intellectually sound people. Steemit is not restricted to one subject alone, issues concerning world politics, economy, etc are being dissected daily.
There is a popular saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" A lot of fun topics are discussed also, even contests where one can let out of their inner playful and sometimes kinky selves. 😜😉 Courtesy of @mimy and a host of others...

Some Steemians have engaged in various charitable activities that have helped in putting smiles on the faces of people... We have the likes of @surpassinggoogle who tirelessly work towards the goal of wiping tears from the eyes of people and rewardng them for it... Projects after projects have been embarked on to make steemit more entertaining.

Steemit should not just been seen as a money making venture to you. It should have a deeper meaning to you because that would determine how far you'll go and how well you will fare.

What does Steemit mean to you?

This is a question every steemian need to sit down and critically evaluate.
Your ability to answer that question sincerely would instill in you a right attitude which will help in guiding you on your Steemit journey... Remember, "we stay for the community "

In my view steemit is more than the monetary aspect, its just like reaching people and making progress with them

yeah.. bro you are on track

To me, Steemit is place where I can let my voice out, my feelings, my skill... letting them out for the world to see and appreciate me and also encourage me.

Great one from @kingbee. Glad to be a SteemBee

Same here really.. It's given me a chance to showcase whatI've got and earn while doing that... What could be better?

nothing better bro... this is it... this is what steemit is about

The king is here, he needs a queen

Let's find him one na

You

iwo ati tani??

Hahahaahahahhahaha!!!

Oh wow, and I need a king...

This is just a coincidence....
Don't you think?

Uhmmm! Someone here may be interested, but definitely not me

Yeah... This is true:

Steemit means a lot of things to a lot of people.

Steemit to me is a way life. It's more than the money. It's a means of expression and sometimes it's a form of escapism. I might just be a teenager in real life, but here on steemit, I'm a value adder who is valued and also receives value. I love steemit...

But most of all, I love being a steembee

Steemit means alot to me. This is because steemit brought out the ''real me''💪. That is just it.

Steembees is just the place to be😊...it helps your steemit life..it teaches you to stay for the community.👍🏽

Steemit is my unique world of limitless possibilities

To me, Steemit is a culture.. it's more than a social media or get rich scheme.. it's a culture with rich traditions(rules) and system. It breaks boundaries between races, countries, continents and status. Steemit bridges the gap between the rich and@steempioneers the poor

Never have i seen a platform that educates amd create this community presence like steemit..I joined steemit to earn income but saw more than that as i engaged in several activities..I love this place

steemit is my school

high school or primary school?

For me, STEEMIT is a platform created to give everyone an opportunity to grow financially. White collar job dont pay you for your hard work, they only pay you what you were stipulated to get at the end of the month. But steemit pays you exactly what you worked for!

Steemit is a home to as many that believe in hardwork and creativity. Its a place where talents are born and nurtured.

Steembee is a place to be really fun and steemit is home away from home, my second school

Steemit most definitely means a lot of things to different people.
Just as life in itself means different things to different people.

For most people today, Steemit is their grace. Grace in the sense that it came at a time when they felt all hope was lost.

I know a lot of people who have been blessed by this platform.

I have also.
Steemit means a lot of things to me that elucidating in clear terms have become more of an onerous task to me.
Apart from the financial rewards, I've scooped substantial wealth of knowledge just by scrutinizing both contents and authors....
There's more to it though...winks

to me steemit is an environment that i can express myself freely and also earn some money doing so
