This is the typical lifestyle I was living before I signed up on the Steem Blockchain. And after few months here, I knew that what I lacked was not the requisite skills or talents (because it is a natural phenomenon for me) but it was the right information. If I had known there was a platform where I can host gigs, talk and entertain people and still get paid for it, I would probably be a clown by now, haha!
Due to the challenges I had while growing my brand, I have deemed it fit to help artisans grow despite the fact that I also need help, lol. Originally, the ideology behind @theartisangroup blog started off as an offline mechanism put in place to guide craftmen and skilled entrepreneurs on how to showcase their brand and connect with the final consumer (more like a start up NGO's). I got a heads up from some people to introduce it to the Steem Blockchain and immediately I heeded to their advice.
What are the objectives of @theartisangroup ?
“@theartisangroup it is a group of dedicated people with collective goals driven by a purpose which is to elevate entrepreneurship and craftsmanship and also explore their creativity and skills via the blockchain. (They hope to get your support and encouragement when the time comes.)”
Also, part of the ideology of @theartisangroup is that we saw a need where “SERVICES” can be rendered via the blockchain using the STEEM token as a medium of exchange.
Goals
Below are the pressing intentions/goals of @theartisangroup for the steem blockchain;
• We want to grow a large number of artisans on the steem blockchain as a community of our own.
• We want to register in the heart of Steem community that “services” rendered off the blockchain can be reproduced on the blockchain.
• We want to showcase different crafts, businesses on this main account @theartisangroup and be able to reach out.
• We want to promote and create different crafts on the blockchain thereby exhibiting it via our blog.
• We want to rejuvenate the spirit of craftsmanship and creativity among entrepreneurs via the blockchain.
• We plan on having a workshop every last Saturday of the month on different subjects, inclusive of the blockchain and knowledge of cryptocurrency. (which we already started, the first workshop held on 27th January, 2018).

Here is a short video clip to introduce the artisan group. https://youtu.be/v1RMmGYdC8A video by @mediahousent
To cut the long story short, I got a 5k delegation from @fulltimegeek and I would be manually curating these tags henceforth - #artisangroup #creative #diyartisan You can use any of these tags if you are an artisan. Non-artisans are not welcomed, haha!
Here is a proof to what I am doing on the chain
Yours, @mediahousent Blockchain host and STEEM enthusiast
