If Only These Opportunities Were Available When I was In University. ( Looking for 25 University Students In Jamaica to Attend A Blockchain Workshop )
When I attended the university of Technology, Jamaica.
Yup, this picture looks very old. I can't even remember who took it. It is actually not that long ago...but boy how times have changed.
As a university student growing up in Jamaica, finding ways to earn extra cash was always on my mind...I don't know, if it is something with Jamaicans, or it was just me, but I always had something going on. It was more than just the cash, it was about "hey, I can do this and bring value while earning".
So what the hell did you sell?
I was selling candy shipped from Florida, MP3 players, women's accessories ( to individuals as well as to stores wholesale), cell phones ( ah the Motorola days ). At one point I was even selling photocopied books ( this was one of the most profitable). Now before you knock me and say "that is illegal to photocopy books and sell them". Just remember, this is Jamaica, many students couldn't afford the original books, I saw it as bringing value/supply demand. The set up of the "biz" was quite good too, because I didn't have to do the manual work, just the network.
You would think this was my GF, but actually we were just good friends....Fine yes I got stuck in the friend's zone. Ouch....can't even remember her name though.
The opportunities that exist today
Now why and for who am I writing this post? Well I am writing this to the students in university ( especially in Jamaica) who may be looking for a way to earn some extra income and at the same time be on top of cutting edge technology. I know most students in Uni are big on social media. Not a day goes by without checking up on the people you follow, making posts, sharing thoughts or just lurking.
What if I told you.....
There are social media platforms where you can be reward for your content as well as lurking and liking? ( And you don't need 1000 followers)
Well there are actually a number of them and I want to teach you about this sector of new era social media built on blockchain technology ( Block what!!!? > The thing that makes Bitcoin what it is) . I think by now most university students in Jamaica have heard of Blockchain technology but don't see its application around them in daily life. Maybe the only thing you know is "Bitcoin". And maybe just hearing the word "Bitcoin" makes you a bit cautious, kinda like saying "Stock Market" or "FX trader". Yeah, at first they may all seem like scary territory, but 1 of the three you can enter with NO RISK. Can you guess which one?
YUP Blockchain technology
Right now you are reading this post on a new era social media platform called ReggaeSteem built on the Steem Blockchain. If you scroll down to the bottom of this post you will see some numbers with the word JAHM beside it. Those are digital Tokens I am earning for this content...and get this, it can be traded for other digital tokens like Bitcoin and also traded for cash. Sounds too good to be true? Well so did flying to Japan by plane in 1907, and now people are doing it everyday. ( I am in Japan as I type this).
I was in charge of logistics for our marketing seminar, making sure the goods were there to be sold and the tents set up and put down.
Looking for 25 university students who
want to learn about this cutting edge technology while actually creating content and earning. In June of this year in Negril, Jamaica, ReggaeSteem will be having its first ever JAHMFEST, a conference showcasing Blockchain projects and how the technology can be used in Jamaica now. We will also have a workshop where we are inviting 25 university students to come and learn how to use ReggaeSteem and other Blockchain applications. We are offering this workshop free for the first 25 UNI students.
JAHMFEST June 26th-28th Negril, Jamaica. For more information see here.
If you would like to be in attendance, please send an email to [email protected]. We will ask you to show your university ID so we can know that you are actually a Uni student.
Ah yes I broke out the "I'm in a suite" picture, lol does that even instill trust these days?

Time passes by but the entrepreneurship is alive in you.
Keep on jahmmin'
Respect! Pouchon, and the time flies so fast bro.
I wish the best of luck to you, brother.
Jah bless you.
Respect Juan, stay creating bro. Bless UP!
Haha see young Dmiliz kicking it back in Uni....nice one...I hope you gett em'...if I was in Uni and came across this type of opportunity I will welcome it with arms wide open.
Bless bro, keep firing on
Hahaha , the funny thing is I don' feel any different now....well LOL.
Yeah I really wish these opportunities existed when I was in uni. One thing I did jump on back in the days was ebay and paypal and boy did it open my eyes. But many don't have anyone to show them what is up now. ( even though it is all online)
It makes sense and is such a great opportunity especially with such little opportunity cost. You don't even need to invest to make money here if you are good at blogging and have a few friends like us. Not understanding blockchain tech is a bigger risk than improving writing skills and finding a new community beyond ones local community.
Exactly, Stock market you need money to start, FX you need money to start, buy and sell... you need.....
but with blockchain you can start by putting out content like most are already doing. Oh yes the skills building, my writing has improved so much ( cough), (still needs improving). When I just started I didn't even know I could make posts like this. Blockchain helps to build skills for the future.

Hey Thanks bro! LOL I still haven't got around to using tipu yet.
I will talk with my friend tipu😉
It is interesting how technology can cover more spaces and a greater scope, the new generation has the tools at hand to get ahead on their own, not like in the 80s or 90s when everything was uphill, there are no jobs, no computers or internet because of the cost. Now it is easier to integrate into a business that generates sustainable rewards, where only the effort and commitment is needed.
Excellent work brother, I hope you manage to capture many more participants willing to share their talent in this scenario of Reggaesteem.
Blessings.
The interesting thing is even with al this technology most won't take advantage. Many are too used to being consumers. Another thing is opportunities abound but that also brings so many distractions as it is hard to focus on one thing. But all I know is, if these opportunities existed when I was in UNI, I would be all over it. So much content around as a uni student.
According to the Bible, In Matthew 17: 1-5, was Matthew in the mountain with Jesus?
