Hello Steemit! My Name is Instatrashed and I am Finally Writing my Introduce Yourself Post!

Hello everyone on Steemit, Busy.org, Dmania, and anyone that is using this great blockchain and platform. I have been posting for a while here now and trying to share my life, photography and news I find interesting, but I have never taken the time to write a proper #introduceyourself post, so here it is! I have to say I was inspired by @welcoming to create a quality post that really lets people get to know me.

Who Am I and What Do I Do?

My name is Rich, some friends call me Dick, but on the internet, I go by Instatrashed or w00tl00t. You can find me on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and most other platforms if you search for Instatrashed, but to be honest, Steemit is my favorite platform and I am quickly abandoning my other platforms. I am 28 years old and currently live in California, although I am East Coast through and through, born in Connecticut, but I call Florida home. I am married to a beautiful Ukrainian girl for the past 2 years now, and we have been together for about 6 years. My only family in California is my younger brother @wifiwithdrawals and my wife, Olya. Oh... and my dog Rex. He is a Siberian Husky and is my best friend. Here's a picture of me and him eating In and Out burgers.



I am an entrepreneur and am currently running my own small brand management and marketing for ecommerce businesses, as well as local small businesses which I help with local SEO. I work from home, as I am not big enough to afford an office yet, which can be a blessing and a curse. My clients range from local coffee shops to multimillion dollar ecommerce companies. I started my business on Fiverr, landed a good client and decided to do it full time. I’ve been doing it full-time for about a year and a half now, and have finally started to pick up more clients, and hired a part time employee about 6 months ago. As someone in their first couple years of business, I can tell you, it’s not easy! I am hoping to grow more this year, add on new clients, and help other people grow their businesses. That being said, if anyone reading this is looking for help getting more traffic to your site, business, or more sales online, I am more than happy to talk, with you, work with you, give you some free tips, and I am happy to work for crypto. (This is not meant to be a plug, but if I am introducing myself, this is who I am!)

In my free time, I love to travel, snowboard, go to music festivals, go camping, explore, and just have fun in general - oh... and EAT! In the past two years, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Hawaii, Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita, Mexico, Breckenridge, Colorado, Tahoe, and a ton of other cities in the United States. Now that we have our passports and everything straightened up, we are next heading to Ukraine so I can meet my wife’s family who she hasn’t seen for over 10 years. Obviously she is beyond excited as she has not been able to see them in so long. After that, we are going to try to spend a week in Thailand and/or Spain. After a bit of travelling, our goal is to move out of the United States, and live abroad for at least a year. I want to spend 3 months, in 4 different countries with the main criteria being rent and utilities being half the cost of what I pay now. Portugal, Ukraine, and Thailand are top on my list but if you have any suggestions of where a digital-nomad, work from home entrepreneur, would do well, please let me know!

Why I Love Steemiit!

Aside from my work and personal hobbies, I love technology, cryptocurrency, blockchain tech., memes and finance/investing. Before working from home (and before getting into crypto), I worked as a marketing director for an insurance and financial firm. I still hold some stocks but have switched a majority of my investments to crypto. I love Litecoin, Monero and Steem more than any other coin currently, but I like others including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Nano, and others I’m forgetting off the top of my head. Steem is quickly becoming my favorite crypto due to the community, the platform, and the fact that it is one of the fastest cryptos, and has a real use case. Feel free to follow my other account ( @w00tl00t ) which is pretty much memes about Steemit and Dmania.

Photography is another passion of mine, and although I don’t have a camera, I love taking pictures with my Samsung Galaxy S7 and sharing them. In an effort to post something on Steemit everyday, I have started a 365 Day Photo Challenge ( #365photochallenge ) where I post one of my photos every day for the next 365 days. I’m hoping it’s a good way to engage with the Steemit community, share my life, grow my following, and motivate myself to stay active on Steemit! Please feel free to join my contest so I can follow you and share your content.

Anyways, that is me, that is my #introduceyourself post and I really hope to meet more of you. Please feel free to comment, and or follow me. I always comment back, and I love to resteem, upvote, and curate quality content. I have been adding Steem Power to my account, and have finally reached official minnow status where I have a voting weight slider bar and a $0.05 upvote! That being said, I love all of the projects people put their hard work and time into and love to delegate to quality projects, and work with others who are trying to grow this incredible community.

Cheers, and thank you for reading this, letting me introduce myself and sharing in this experience with me. Keep on Steeming!
