Gain Financial Freedom Via Content Creation On Steemit

Greetings friends of the steem Alliance community, it's with great pleasure that I am sharing my write-up for the first time in this amazing community. I hope it ignites some writers (especially women in patriarchal societies) to gain their financial freedom by being committed and consistent in content creation on Steemit.

Today, I will be sharing my thoughts about gaining financial freedom via content creation. Before going into the alma matter, let me first give a brief understanding of what content creation is all about.

Brief Understanding of Content Creation.

In my own understanding, content creation is when you contribute your own quota of information in any digital media platform. The data you share has it's targeted audience.

There are different types of content creation which can be classified as follows:

• Blogging: This is the most popular form of content creation in digital media. There are several platforms for bloggers to create content and steemit is one of those platforms. The good thing is you get rewarded with cryptocurrency.
• Write Articles: You can create content by writing articles and publishing via digital media and get rewarded.
• Photography: You can be a content creator by taking good photographs that added value to photograph data online.
• Videos: In the digital space, we see lots of comedians putting up videos online and making lots of cash. This part is lacking on Steemit, and I hardly notice any video content on comedy on Steemit.

Why Content Creation?

I will be talking about this based on the African context. In most African countries, especially Cameroon my country, women faced a lot of life challenges due to the patriarchal society we lived in.

Society has made it in such a way that most women depend solely on men. Their job is to stay at home, take care of the kids, clean the house, and cook for the family. The man has to go out to work and provide for the financial needs of the family.

We are in a digital world whereby your phone can become your office. Most of these women have smartphones and activate the internet connection every day to chat with friends, sharing their challenges and complaining daily while doing nothing to gain financial freedom.

Do not stay at home and become a burden to another person or a liability and contributes nothing. Join the train of content creators, and gain financial freedom.

How to Create Good Content.

• Identify your Audience: You need to first identify who are the people who will read your content. Do not create content for creating sake and dump it online.
• Type of Content: Once you identify your audience, you will be able to know the type of content they love reading.
• Build Your Audience: On Steemit, you build your audience via interaction with other content creators. Support them with upvotes and also leave engaging comments.
• Be Consistent: Do not create a single content for over a month before you come back to drop another content. The digital space is not a dumping ground where you create any trash and dump and seat watch if there is no support, you quit.
• Set Goals: I always advised my recruits to steem smart and not hard. When you set goals, you will be able to achieve success in the end no matter the distractions along the way. So far as you are focused on achieving the goals.

With content creation, you are free to become a boss without anyone ordering you around.

You work in your own space and at your own convenient time.

There is no pressure whatsoever to meet up with deadlines.

So what are you still waiting for when your fellow women are doing great in content creation and still supporting their homes? Join the moving train on Steemit and let's steem till we reach the moon.
