I Quit Work : Full Time Dtube & Content Creation, Thank You Dtube !!
Hello Dtube !
Today, I quit work. I'm going full Dtube/Steemit/Dsound and Content Creation. This has been a dream of mine for many years, almost felt unreachable. Dtube and the blockchain has put me over the income line needed to step outside the box, take a risk and chase my dreams.
It's amazing to have the freedom, choice and creative freedom. I've only Dtube and Steemit to thank for this amazing turn of events. The amount of support I received in 2 months of the blockchain destroys 3 years of other online income sources. Making other platforms feel almost ancient and cold.
All this extra time will mean my content quality should increase. I'll have a lot of time to work on my content compared to my previous videos, which should yield better results. Many of my previous videos are made after work with very limited time to spend on a video.
I need to thank anyone who has supported me in the past, present or future. A HUGE thank you to Dtube, they have been top notch in the support. Your support has huge effects on my art, music and content creation.
Rate up and follow if you enjoy the video.
Till next time, stay creative,
Todd

Tub Cat is very impressed at your achievement and aspires to use Steemit as his primary source of income as well.
I am sure the cost of living of a Cat in a Tub is very different to your cost of living however @toddjsmith1979.
Tub Cat is also very pleased to hear your focus on increasing the quality of your content now that you are a full time content creator, I'm sure your content prior to leaving your employment was also great though as well.
Tub Cat is pleased with this post and your achievement and congratulates you by pushing the squishy green upwards pointing arrow thingy at the bottom of your post!
TUB CAT OUT!
Oh man, tube cat is epic. My cost of living is dirt cheap. No car, no kids, no wife, low rent and ramen everynight baby !! LOL, just joking about the ramen part. That all helps me make this transition a little bit easier than most people.
This might be the best pic I’ve seen on Steemit.
Peace out Tube Cat !
Tub Cat appreciates your response however is not a Cat in a Tube. Tub Cat is a Cat in a Tub.
You should also be aware that Tub Cat is not a Tub Dog, just in case you get confused again.
TUB CAT OUT!
Oh man, the rabbit hole gets deeper, LOL
Tub Cat doesn't have a picture of a Rabbit in a Tub. This might be something to work on.
TUB CAT OUT! AGAIN!
Please do ! Great to meet you, will follow you. 🐿
Tub Cat has made my day
He is a cool cat. 🐈
Tub Cat recommends that you read Tub Cat's mission post on his page before posting images of child molesters. Tub Cat does not approve of this image.

Awwww, poor kitty. 🐱
Wow, your success story inspired me to work harder on this platform. I just started 2 weeks ago and getting lost here and there. Thanks for the kick.
The blockchain is very power and has changed many peoples lives. I've got a feeling it will change many more in the future. Glad you found Dtube/Steemit my friend, I'm sure you'll do well. This platform is still very young and will grow.
Keep in touch my friend.
I hope you'll be sharing how you made this far so that some of can follow them
I’ve shared many videos with tips that I feel halped me out. I plan on doing another today !
This requires a big set of balls.
You will have to post every day to reach that goal (I post twice per day).
I started with 0 investment here on Steem around 4 months ago.
I wouldn't say that I am successful yet but I am very close to my definition of success.
This is the formula that I follow:
Post 2 times per day, learn more about Steem for 10 minutes per day & network with 10 people only.
Steadfastness + discipline + focus + networking + patience = $$$
I will observe what you are doing, your bold statement got me interested.
Thank you
Honestly, I didn’t walk away from a huge career or have a big family to support. I can walk right back into what I left at anytime. Then I have no car, no kids, no wife, low rent. All a trade off but allows me to step out a bit easier than most 38 year old men.
I figured used that to my advantage, take a jump, see what evolves. You only live once right? You’re channel stood out right away, glad I found it.
Thank you for the support, stay creative bro

Good mindset, If I had to choose between welfare and a 9-5 I would take welfare anytime.
Working 9-5 is mental suicide.
I don't know how any human being can call someone else boss and do not feel tremendous shame.
Or why they have to set their vacations according to the companies schedule, or the time they wake up or why they settle for the same income for years and slave away will they can barely move anymore.
No wonder depression is a normal occurence today which you get useless pills for to make more cash from you and to keep you in the dark.
You die mentally, physically and spiritually in a damn hospital and after you die your family has to pay and you are buried beneath the ground with nobody giving a fuck about you later because you wasted your entire life.
I agree 100%
Society does a good job of getting you all tied up these things you think are important so you can never really serve yourself.
I’m in America, culture might be different in Germany. I feel not many people know themselves, they never took the time to find it.
This translates into a society of people who can’t stand on their own two feet, won’t think outside the box and most often feel stuck. Many of the things you listed fall into this equation, they want a society of these thinkers.
Like you stated, mindset. 🤔
Your mindset is the most important asset you own. They do a good job of molding your mindsets the way they want.
I’ve always felt the need to break away, get out of the cage. I ain’t going back !! 😉
Once you got out of the cage you can't get back in. You will always find a way to avoid it from now on.
Love your outlook on Music and how Steemit can really help you achieve your goals.
The 9/5 grind is a horrendous drain on creativity.. I run a small recording studio with my band, we all work full time and unsociable hours which makes getting us all in the same room at the same time a nightmare. But its worth it and makes life worth living.
The dream for most musicians is to not have to worry about money, so we can get on with our art without the looming pressure of a draining day job just to be able to live. It seems that Steemit could be a great way for some to achieve this dream! I came over to Steemit because i follow your page on facebook and saw how enthusiatic about this place and wanted to see what all the fuss is about. I will be recording live jams and tutorials (along with general muscings) in the near future and see where it goes.
Thanks for bringing me to this wonderful place!
This is a amazing comment, it talks about the subject adds to the topic and is long. Keep comments like this up on big pages and you’ll see growth in just those comments.
Yes, the 9/5 can make it hard to be creative at your peak. It’s rare you get to sit down, full strength and make art. Like you said, it’s a dream for many artist to have that luxury.
I’m glad you found Steemit and are enjoying platform. It’s honestly hard for me to log back into facebook after a few weeks of Steemit, I wish a few more friends would make the jump. I try to share my stories, hoping to pull a few over to the blockchain.
Hope you’re having a amazing day my friend.
Yeah I can imagine it makes going back to facebook difficult!
Just seeing the amount of interaction you get on here after just 2 months of work compared to facebook where there just isnt any real feedback from an audience. On FB my band has almost 600 "likes" and hardly any interaction. You have just over 150 followers and the comments on your posts are wonderful!
Do you think it is down to the financial incentive of Steem the creates more participation with the content creators?
Oh wow what an ambitious leap, congratulations on making a step forward how exciting is this. I have taken a massive purge of people I followed and did not bring me value. I have subscribed to you so I can watch your journey.
Thank you. It’s going to be a lot of work but atleast it’s work I’m passionate about. Thanks a ton for the support bro, it means a lot. Chasing my dreams is a chance not everyone gets, I feel pretty lucky.
So awesome to hear that, congrats! :) I'm hoping Steemit will allow me to continue to pursue art full time. Other platforms do feel cold and barren compared to Steemit, loving all the creative people and positive vibes on here!
The people on Steemit/Dtube are amazing. They really are creating a awesome little ecosystem, still has a lot to grow. I'm sure with time and work you'll get to the point of stepping out and chasing your dreams. This felt almost impossible a few years ago. Amazing how life can change, just stay creative my friend.
Been working for myself for over 3 years, but was considering throwing in the towel for a while to grab a job for some more stable income. Looking like Steemit might be able to fill in the gap instead :) I'm sort of in the same boat as you, "My cost of living is dirt cheap. No car, no kids, no wife, low rent and ramen everynight baby !! " lol Cheers to passion and one life to live making it happen!
my admiration for your courageous move! It is very inspiring and pleasant to see how a blockchain based platform like Steemit enables you this. Best luck!
My other online incomes do help a bit. Steemit/Dtube was the final factor that pushed me to the point that leaving work became viable. Loving the blockchain. 👍
Woah that sounds awesome man! Living the dream life :) It's so amazing that this blockchain can completely change lives for people. And I'm pretty sure you'll be able to earn even more now, since you'll have a lot more time to create more content. Congrats!
Loving it ! Very happy with life atm. Thank you very mich for the awesome comment ! It’s going to be a dream, having the abiltity to wake up every day and make art or content. Fully energized and not drained from work, should be life changing.
Even if its a bit tight at first, it’ll be worth it in the long run I fell. Hope you’re having a good day my friend.
Todd
Congrats man! Here's to fulfilling your Steemit dreams!
My Steemit dreams ! Yes, it’s amazing to be able to try this out. It’s a fun little leap outside the box. ✌️
Hey Todd you're really an inspiration for me. Making music makes sense again thanks to the blockchain tech and - of course - Steemit! I wish you all the best and will continue to support you with my (tiny) upvotes :)
Thank you bro. I’ll try to support you back. Once I get 500 Steem Power it’ll be easier to control my power level. You get a bar to control the % paid out, which allows you to delegate the power a bit better.
Thanks a ton for the support. 😉
