RE: CONTEST TIME! 10 STEEM BEING GIVEN AWAY IN PRIZES! THIS IS A MUST READ ARTICLE FOR EVERYONE!

in #contest7 years ago (edited)

Greetings fellow Steemians! My name is Colin and I joined Steemit in late December of 2017. My background is a bit long-winded so in order to keep things brief, I’ll just stick with the basics for now. First and foremost, I’m an ex-chef who left his career to pursue my newfound passion of geology. Over the past three years I’ve undertaken the daunting task of switching careers, becoming a full-time student and attempting to become entirely self-employed. To say the least, it hasn’t been easy. Yet, the challenge has been invigorating.

However, over the past year I’ve had a great deal of luck at a pivotal moment in my life. Through a strong will to seek out new and creative forms of income, I discovered two platforms that have the potential to change my life and make my dreams come true. Those two platforms are none other than Steemit and Merch by Amazon. For those of you who don’t know what Merch by Amazon is, it’s a program that Amazon offers to entrepreneurs and graphic designers. It allows individuals to create and sell designs on clothing directly on the Amazon marketplace. It goes without saying, MBA has the potential to be very lucrative. Though, like anything else in life, it takes dedication and persistence to see solid results.

Since my debut on this platform, I’ve found myself completely inundated by the level of support and acceptance that I’ve received from this community. Generally speaking, I write about topics dealing with geology, but for this contest I’d like my primary submission to be an article that gives you a finer insight into my prior life as a chef. It’s an older post so the opportunity to receive a reward has come and gone. Nevertheless, I invite you to comment on it! I was planning on joining @steembasicincome prior to this contest, but when I saw this post resteemed by @mountainwashere, it was truly serendipitous.

I upvoted and resteemed @sustainablyyours submission! It's a very informative article. I'm cracking my knuckles right after I post this. :P

I’ll be submitting the following posts today:

  1. Life as an Eggspert Chef: How to Cook Large Quantities of Hard Boiled Eggs Perfectly

  2. The New Madrid Seismic Zone in the American Midwest: Earthquakes of 1811-1812

Enjoy and good luck!

LOL! That post on cookin' eggs was the one that got me followin' you way back. Vanholio eats a lotta boiled eggs.

Haha! I thought it was an appropriate one to submit since it got the most feedback from the community while also being on the anecdotal side.

I will definitely be using that egg recipe! I eat hard boiled eggs all the time. The New Madrid post was excellent, as well. I live in Northeast Arkansas just a few miles from part of Crowley's Ridge (which is a really interesting geological formation by itself), right there in the extreme zone on the map in your post.

Thank you for sharing both of these great articles @keephy ! Thank you for joining in and being part of a great project aimed at growing our Steemit community in a positive way! Your entry is valid!

@keephy I am going to ask you to please, please continue to post more of your content as entries in this event. Your content is great and I see you having a brilliant future on this platform. Not only were your articles extremely informative, they were put together rather well :) Great job! I wish I could have chosen more than one of you for today, it was a daunting task to choose from so many incredible entries!!!!

Ladies and gents, please forgive me for not being able to keep up on the day to day winnings of this contest. Unfortunately, some life changing events bombarded my life over this past week that have required a healthy chunk of my time. In combination, my daughter has been ill with pneumonia, which has consumed just about every additional moment of time that life itself hasn't. I'm on and ready to rock today. I'm currently in the process of picking winners and will be announcing them soon! Thank you all for your participation and for your patience. This event has become a tremendous success because of all of you! I'm looking forward to launching the next round!
