Hi! My name is Renaud (aka @cryptoctopus). Here's a little bio to introduce myself.
I've joined steemit.com about less than 2 weeks ago and I've lost a lot of sleep thinking and scheming on steemit.com :-)
When I was younger, I only had 1 dream: Being to travel and earn money simultaneously. So I tried everything from public performance to flight attendant.
At 25, I decided that if I was to make my "fortune", it would be on the internet. I embarked on a journey of self-taught internet marketing. I spent thousands of dollars in my "private" education and spent my own money on different advertising methods to sell affiliate products. For years, I didn't make much money and had to support myself with odd jobs like being a flight attendant. But I've learned so much in the process and those years of failure were not for nothing.
At age 29, I found a partner that complete my skills perfectly and we've been running a pretty successful small boutique marketing agency in the tourism industry in Ucluelet.
Here is our latest promo video for that beautiful hidden spot on the west coast:
My Dream
My #1 dream is to purchase the house that my dad built with his own hand and build my own family.
I want to raise my kids at home or while traveling. Learning about western civilization in Rome or London and geology on the top of a volcano or at the bottom of the coral reefs in Australia.
Why I Am Passionate About Steemit
Because it's solved a huge problem the internet has. How to reward content creation and curation in a way that is fair for all participants. When I started my internet marketing journey, I blogged once a day for 425 days straight and made almost NO MONEY. But I learned a lot!
I have been blogging at least twice a day since I got on steemit and I want to play a big part in the development of the ecosystem. I have many businesses I want to build on top of it and I have started drawing a roadmap to accomplish them.
So rest assure, I am here for the long run.
