Hundreds of users are creating accounts to any social media or micro blogging platform every day.
On the other hand a lot of web and app developers are working on how to create new social media apps or upgrade existing platforms.
A decade ago most people engaged in the internet social media for fun and to connect with people around the world. As years went by they have utilized these platforms for their businesses. Some government and private firms also integrate their business to social media for ease of distributing information to the public.
Authorities have also engaged in social media to solve crimes while some News and TV programs used it as another way to deliver the news and even helped people to find long lost family members.
Social media becomes more trending until some developers have the idea of giving rewards to people for their participation. In short, get paid by sharing their ideas, be it photo, video or content writing.
Some social media apps are blockchain-based. Meaning you will be rewarded for your participation with a token, crypto currency token that can be converted in cash.
Surprisingly some social networks are integrating their platform with the blockchain. One of which is Twitter. Yes, users can now tip their favorite creators using bitcoin.
Anonymous Influencer
While these social networks continue to exist, the number of users are fast increasing and these days people like to engage in a platform where they can earn money.
Influencers and content creators are being born every day and they can be as young as ten years old particularly with YouTube.
In the same manner there are content creators who remain anonymous but can provide good quality content. Blockchain based platform like read.cash, hive and Publish0x to name but a few.
Why do you follow an influencer? Or let us say, why do you subscribe to me? You don’t know me, I am anonymous. Perhaps you subscribe because you can see good quality content in my post or maybe because you can relate or learn from some of my posts.
Sometimes we follow people on social media because they are famous and we know their names and faces. On YouTube we subscribe to an influencer for the same reason. But sometimes these people are no longer creating good quality content. Some people follow/subscribe to other people by personality. I guess we should follow people who give valuable information even if he is not famous.
Self Made Millionaire
There is no such thing as a self-made millionaire!
How can anyone anywhere have the guts to think that they have become a millionaire alone by himself?
Along with this social network and other platforms some become “self-made millionaires” as they claim it.
YouTube is one platform where you can be instantly famous and become a millionaire depending on your participation.
Most famous YouTubers became millionaires and some claimed that they are self-made millionaires. Firstly, I salute them because they have made it to the top with all their efforts and hard work. Of course they are proud of it.
To be successful financially, as for my own personal view, begins with other people who have helped you all throughout your success. It begins with your parents or someone who may have taken care of you as you grow up. These people are responsible for your lessons and experiences either good or bad and are also responsible for what you are right now.
Likewise you also have your teachers in school that provided you wisdom, then your friends for their encouragement and support. You also have your enemies and bashers who can’t do anything but to pull you down. The authors with books you read, business coaches, financial advisors and other people that helped you in molding in wherever you might be today.
In other words those people have contributed to your success in becoming a millionaire. So you did not do it alone!
I know there are a lot of successful bloggers scattered on the internet but don’t get me wrong with this. If one day in the future you became a millionaire, I congratulate you now. Of course you deserve extensive credit for that but still there is no such thing as a self made millionaire.
