Can You Make A Living On InLEO?

in LeoFinanceyesterday

It was really exciting when I first discovered this place....

I was hooked. Literally on day one. There was something different about the promise of this blockchain and after 7 years here there are times I question it but when push comes to shove....I do believe this place can be the future of major success for me personally.

And there was something I always thought would eventually be possible here....To make a living off my effort!

What a dream that would be :)

Working when I wanted. On topics that I was passionate about. While supporting a community that supported me, and vice versa. And that future I do believe can be had here on InLeo specifically.

Now there's lots that need to happen first but the path is being laid and foundation being built. And there was a short little video on X that I saw earlier today from @khaleelkazi which gave me some inspiration for this post!

Can we make $1000 a month from this platform?

For most of us in the western world, 1000 bucks a month isn't going to let us make a living from this blockchain. But the foundation again, is being built. And I'm an entrepreneur at heart so I live by a lot of 'what ifs' in my life lol I throw things against the wall and see what sticks most times and baby...I've been THROWING my all into this blockchain for 7 plus years now.

So how do we earn 1000 bucks a month here?

Watch the video from Khal, you can see that his focus is on creator subscriptions. And we're seeing that in the web 2 world as being 'a thing' and a big thing at that. There are loads of content creators on traditional social media making a killing with their content but until LEO / Hive reach some better numbers of active users, I'm not sure creator subscriptions are going to be a stable income.

Yet.

And I say yet because of like I said....The foundation is being built. This is why for years I've been screaming at the top of the mountain, to anyone that listens, to build your relationships and subscribers now. Before the flood of new accounts and we are seeing these numbers steadily increase over the past few months.

We aren't at any critical mass level here for adoption, and I still think there is plenty of work to be done. But we need to build the foundations now and start thinking what this place will look like in a few years from now....

Here's a few things I will be working on to eventually (hopefully) make a living off my efforts here....

1. Build my $LEO stake up...Big! This is critical for me because I believe in this platform. And right now, LEO is only a few pennies. What happens when it's worth a dollar or two. And you are a top token holder? Instant influence and the power to spread the token out to more people.

2. Curate, engage, repeat! I've been trying to do a much better job of this over the past few months. 2024 was the year I got my offline life in order (sorta) and that's taken the bulk of my time up. But every chance I get, I'm engaging with others. Curating Threads. Making sure I do everything I can to get that token out to more people.

3. Work on Creator Subscriptions...Again! It's been a dream of mine to get more #jongojems out there to the masses, so 2025 will see me revisit and replan my attack for my subscribers. 100 subs is $1000 bucks a month. Now without more adoption and more people coming to the blockchain and platform, this won't happen right away. But again, build a foundation first!!

4. Slowly Grow My $HIVE....Again. Something that became very evident to me over the past few days, especially seeing the new proposal from InLeo....This community needs more Hive power to dictate things we want to see happen on the mother chain. And because I was so pissed off at the powers that be on Hive, I sold a big chunk of my stake last year. Welp....I wanna see LEO win, and that requires LEO holders to have a bigger voice! The uphill grind starts again!

5. Build Cool Stuff! Not exactly sure I'll attack this in 2025 because I've learned one very important lesson on any platform I've ever been a part of. Want to get value, give value! So that means I need to find something I can do for the platform as a whole. My little pet project in 2025 will be to see what I can build or create that gives the most value to this platform.

So can we make a living off this blockchain stuff?

Sure....If you are rich. Have loads of crypto. Were an OG on the blockchain. Top 20 witness, etc.....But what about every day 9 to 5'ers like myself? I do think it's in the future for anyone that puts their blood, sweat and tears into this place. I've seen amazing things in my 25 plus years of being in online business and most it starts with....A desire and passion for what you do!

So if you like this place...If you think LEO has a massive future....Now is the time to build that solid foundation!

I think a few people make that much, but not many outside the top witnesses. You will remember when some people did really well from this blockchain and some could live off it if they lived somewhere cheap. I know InLeo is doing lots of things, but Hive is much bigger than that and there are lots of opportunities. A major factor in success is getting people on board who create really popular content and I don't think we have many yet. I won't pretend that I'm a great creator, but I'm having fun.

Onwards and upwards.

Problem with Hive and it's always been this since Steem....The overseers.

If you don't align with their views you wont get any upvotes or support. Even worse, when they want to silence you, they can downvote you into oblivion. Which doesn't happen much anymore (downvote wars) but people love removing rewards from others if it doesnt fit their narrative.

That's why LEO has a brighter future. There is zero ego on the platform and the whales want to see it succeed.

Hive is tribal and has a few powerful people who can be vindictive. We don't get the wars so much like before, but I know some people have everything wiped out. I am just amazed that they persist with Hive, but they have the freedom to do so.

Is there really 'zero ego'? It's all people with their natural failings. I know you have been a fan for ages, but I just don't find myself using the Leo tools much. I do think Threads is cool and it led the way, but the general feed seems to have little that appeals to me whilst I get more out of Snaps for now. Really I need to curate the feed I get as I don't need to see everything.

I am still a fan of Hive and see mostly positive things. We can grow in multiple directions.

Maybe one day if we get enough critical mass it will be possible, right now it is only a matter for a few.

Yeah that's whyI'm building the foundation now for the hope of tomorrow!

The grind is long... but I believe that I have and will in the future use my Hive/Leo/Blockchain incomes to improve me life!

!LOL

The big hope for sure here!

Well, I mean, I have to be grateful for the small blessings too. Hive HAS already bailed me out of many a ditch life has thrown at me!

Because they stay out of treble.

If we can make $1000 monthly, yes, we can make a living on Leo but I feel the goal is to stack up all the time so that we will be millionaires and even billionaires in future

I'll just take being comfortable lol I dont need to be rich, just the ability to provide :)

Totally, and maybe not make a living out of it but it's very cool to see your account grow over time, I'm stacking LEO too!

It's pretty awesome to see it grow over time

I don't think it's impossible, but it's still kind of hard to get. It takes work to get to that point. I think subscriptions would be nice but I think the feature is still in progress right?

As far as I know, it's fully active. Problem is getting more people here for a larger market to cater to

I might have to touch Leo some more. I've enjoyed seeing them pushing the boundaries the last few months and start onboarding more users. It'll surely help Hive overall.

As for subscription, nothing short of me breaking out the slothkini and starting an OF is going to help there haha!

ha ha ha ha ha Yeah a Jongo OF would scare everyone away for sure!

$LEO at $1 and things look a lot easier to get to $1000 or $2000 a month with your stake. price plays a huge role in $$ value earned on this platform.

Great point!

The price of this stuff matters. RIght now, it's peanuts. But at 1 buck....It's serious curation

What do you mean more exactly by Curating Threads?

'Liking' people's content and comments on Threads.

From HBD Savings alone, you would need, $80K to get $1000/month in HBD interest at the current rate. Subscriptions would be another stream, if you can retain subscribers, which you have experience doing.

Personally, I'd simply pump money into HBD and build up my interest income, supplemented by my content earnings. The subscriber thing seems fickle to me, being the type of person I am. But it obviously works for influencer types.

Thats a good point. I have never had much trust in the HBD now with how the witnesses cut it back to 15%. I'm sure they will lower it again and that's putting my future in the hands of people that dont care about me at all LOL

With Hive and Leo it's possible. We have to build are stake now while prices are still low
!BBH

I also believe that we will be able to live off HIVE in the future, at least we will cover our some needs.

Thats the foundation for sure. A few bills here and there, then we are talking

@jongolson! @logen9f likes your content! so I just sent 1 BBH to your account on behalf of @logen9f. (10/20)

You have a cool setup for a success on this platform. I myself started 8 years ago but i fell of the ledge and making a come back hasnt been easy. The spirit to come back hasnt been there but in due course, i will make a comeback. I know consistency is the key and i am trying my best to leverage on all my free time to do that. Hope to see you at the top
