This is a video clip from the Ibadan meet-up held on the 27th of January 2018 in Ibadan.
In this video, I explained the need for newbies to be able to make research and work hard and let go of the entitlement mentality. Enough of the whining, steemit is hard work. If you are newbie you are more likely going to succeed, if you can make your own research and stand on your own. Instead of asking and taking and collecting all the time, look for ways to give. Add value to the blockchain, bring something to the table. That's gonna make you stand out.
On the other hand, there are many ways that steem blockchain tries to make it easier for newbies to thrive. There are many projects that are meant to support newbies and help them grow. One way to grow fast is to join a smaller group, you'll find them in Whatsapp, telegram, and discord. Everyone is welcome here even the untalented folks, especially the untalented folks. Steemit has an atmosphere that encourages people to improve and become better.
I hope you enjoy watching this.
