Be it a content creator or social platform owner, we all deserve to earn for our respective contributions to the internet. Fortunately, we have got a lot of platforms that aid community building. Only a few of them compensate us monetarily and 1ramp.io is one of these few.

With Steem comes free money and free money are as delicious as a hot pie, aren't they?
Okay, many of us have leveraged on the rewards from different community-focused on Steem blockchain. With the emergence of Steem-engine, we have seen hundreds of tokens published on Steem blockchain, many of which we have been given for free. I am one of the individuals that believe that Steem-engine has opened the door for a new economy on Steem blockchain which will only increase the activities of the already existing users and aid mass adoption of Steemit.com. The new easy token-publishing standard on Steem blockchain gives room for non-bloggers to join the chain as investors. So, it is not only for content creators.

Now to where we are. Earning free money is the Steem way. It is what we have been leveraging from other Steem DApps. 1ramp.io, however, brought a new initiative and now, rewards do not need to be limited to digital assets. This platform brings enabled a reward system that is beyond cryptocurrency.
Got a Steem account? Then extend your reward earning beyond cryptocurrency
Just as we have on other Steem DApps, you need a Steem account to access 1ramp.io. Oh, do not be panicked! You could sign here for free and just wait for like a day or two to have your account verified. A friend of mine who I just introduced Steemit to created his account a few days ago and got verified the next day. So, it does not unnecessarily take long.
The 1ramp app is supported on Android devices. The last time I checked, I do not think there is an iOS app yet. Nevertheless, I use Android and that is what the major phone users make use of anyway. So, get the app on Google Play and as you launch it, sign in using SteemConnect.
Now we supply our Steem username, posting key and import our Keychain login details to connect this app with our Steem account. We do not need a tutorial on this. Even non-Steemians can easily set up their accounts on this app and start exploring various communities on the platform.

One of the activities that make communities vigorous is a contest. Hardly does a day pass without seeing a contest post on Steemit. It is one of the distinguishing features of Steemit and all Steem DApps in general. Come to think of it; contests have a way of benefiting us apart from the monetary rewards that come with being among the winners. Most contests have to do with showing our skills and talents. In order to be among the winners, we often go a long way to make some researches (when necessary) or practice more (when it has to do with talent). All these improve us as a person even when we eventually miss out on the prizes.
1ramp is one of the platforms with constant contests on Steem. You can hold and participate in various contests and enjoy both the fun and prize rewards.
Write blogs and do not worry about the traffic
The joy that comes with writing is something that is hard to explain. Let us leave the monetary rewards, for now. Writing blogs itself brings the inexplicable feeling. As said by Seth Godin:
People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories, and magic.
Your blog is your medium through which you share your opinions on trending activities on the web. It is far beyond just a social network profile. Do not even include the unrivalled features of blockchain that give you the freedom to blog about just anything that interests you without the fear of getting sanctioned by some centralized authorities. However, writing is one thing, getting your posts read by some audience is another.

I almost quit blogging some years back. Then, despite the posts being impressive, they hardly get views. I spent some money promoting the posts on Facebook but that never brought the expected results. Besides, I was a full-time blogger, managing an entertainment blog. There are various posts to be blogged daily and I was not rich enough to be running Facebook ad campaigns on a daily basis. Traffic has always been a cause of headaches, especially for budding bloggers.
1ramp solves this problem in an amazing way. Your blog is seamlessly integrated with Steemit, a blogging platform with over a million users. There are at least over 20 thousand active daily users to get your contents exposed to and engaging in various communities brings additional traffic.
Share those beautiful moments with quality photos and embed videos
Regardless of how boring you think your personality and life is, there are always those beautiful moments we want o share to the world. So you have just visited one of those established reserves in the countryside, go on camping or had your first date, of course, those are moments we love to share to the world.

Sharing photos is a lot easy on 1ramp. So also is sharing videos. Although the Asteria protocol used in secure handling of users data does not have functionality for video hosting, 1ramp users can still share videos by simply embed it within our posts. We just need to upload the videos on DTube (which is a decentralized platform for video uploading) and embed the link in a post.
Departing thought
The blockchain technology has got us covered in every aspect of technological innovations. This is why we have seen various firms brought their services on this next generation advancement. 1ramp is not the only project that brings transparency and freedom for us. It is, however, one of the standouts.
