AskLeo: How did you arrive to LeoFinance?
To successfully onboard new users it might be interesting to learn how some of us arrived to HIVE and/or to LeoFinance.
Of course, we all have different backgrounds and very different stories, I believe that by taking a look to the past we will find key things that brought us here. This can help all the users promoting HIVE or LeoFinance to onboard new users successfully. I will share my story and some of my background this could be useful to onboard more people that have similar interests as me.
I have always been good with technology, I started using computers since I was very young. My journey for financial freedom and the creation of passive started when I was 20 years old, I'm 33 years old now. I heard about Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining around 2014 and it caught my attention but I never invested, I did not have enough money, and I was focused on other things at the moment.
The idea of creating a blog crossed my mind several times and I even tried it with not a lot of success. As I wrote here I participated in a couple of Network Marketing or Multilevel Marketing companies before I quit for good almost three years ago. In 2016, I also started to learn about SEO and I did a couple of websites that I was able to rank in the first page of Google, I wanted to create a digital marketing agency but things did not turn out as I thought.
This is a screenshot of my first Steemit post.
My first post was on January 5, 2018
In the first days of January 2018 I saw a Facebook ad where someone was promoting “steemit.com”, I saw it a couple of times and I thought it was too good to be true. Facebook ads are sometimes shown several times to the same user so after I saw it like three times I decided to take a look and because there was no investment I thought that I had nothing to lose.
After spending sometime blogging I figure out that this was the place for me and as I have said many times it was a dream come true for me. If I'm not mistaken close to the end of 2018 or in the first few months of 2019 tokenized tribes started to pop and several Hive-Engine tokens began obtaining their first investors.
I knew about LeoFinance, which was called SteemLeo at that time but I never dive into this tribe as I thought I didn't haven anything good to share.
Forwarding to March 2020. HIVE was born, since I heard of the idea of moving out of the centralized STEEM, I was all in. I remember that I read about the birth of HIVE when I was on my way home from a job I hated, it was on a call center. I saw a good opportunity and I decided to quit that job to focus 100% on HIVE. The pump came and went and I kept blogging and creating engaging in many communities. With some friends we created @hivemexico.
Some months ago I started seeing all the good things that were happening to LeoFinance, I was a curious outsider and was not yet interested enough to join. Two and a half weeks ago I’m not sure why I started reading content on the leofinance.io UI and I started making lots of comments. I learned about initiative 10 where everyone is challenged to make at least 10 comments a day on the LeoFinance UI. After some thought I was convinced and I decided to start posting here.
Today I have more than 2,300 LEO staked and I have made nine posts (including this one), and I have made at least 250 comments. Tomorrow we will see the @leo.stats and I hope to have at least 140 comments for this week, last week I made 131 comments, and I was on sixth place.
How did you arrive to HIVE or LeoFinance?
If you want to share your story in a comment you are welcome, I will read them all and reply to them. You don’t have to add as many details as I did, you can just share the most important things. Also, if you want to make a post feel free to do it and share it in the comments. If you are sharing how you arrived to LeoFinance please make the post from the LeoFinance.io UI.
Stay tuned because there will be a very cool initiative soon involving LeoFinance.
