Today marks Day 15 of me being on Steemit. When I got up this morning, I discovered that I had hit my first 100 followers! To celebrate such a motivating milestone, I've decided to hold this contest. Before I get into the details, though, I wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has chosen to follow me and support my content! I would not have gotten this far and stayed this motivated to engage the Steemit community every day without the encouragement that I got just from seeing you guys upvoting and commenting on my stories and blog posts.

I owe so much of my success over the past two weeks to the amazing people over at the Minnow Support Project. They truly live up to the name of their organization, and there are no limits to the amount of help that they all freely provide to minnows who are just starting out here on Steemit. I am so grateful to be a part of that group and to constantly be on the receiving end of their helpful advice! In my opinion, out of the plethora of communities there are out there for new Steemit users to join, MSP is the best. I strongly recommend for everyone who is just starting out on Steemit to check out the community by clicking here.

A special thank you also goes out to @stevenalexander for showing me the wonders of Steemit. I would probably have never found out about this amazing place if he hadn't posted about it on Facebook and shared his #introduceyourself post. His passion for Steemit and his belief in this amazing platform inspired me to check it out and sign up for an account. After just two weeks of being here, it appears that it's rubbed off on me, because I am now just as passionate about Steemit and I have just as much belief in it (so much belief, in fact, that I recently invested in Steem), and all my friends know this because all I ever seem to post about on Facebook these days is how awesome this place is. :P

I even made a Facebook group for all my friends who expressed interest so that I could try to answer all of their questions in one place, because I knew that a lot of them would probably have the same kinds of questions about Steemit. Regardless of how passionate I am about this thing, though, I am still being met with hesitation and reluctance from friends who I know could really be successful with sharing their art on here. I thought to myself, what could possibly help convince them of how truly amazing Steemit is? That's when I got the idea for this contest, and it just so happened to coincide with me getting my 100th follower early this morning.

Well, I suppose I have rambled on for long enough. So it's time to get down to the real point of this post, the CONTEST! It's going to be pretty simple and won't require too much effort on your part. You just have to make a post telling your personal story of what your Steemit experience has been like so far and how Steemit has changed your life.

Here are the contest rules:


• Your story must be a minimum of 500 words.
• The title should be: (Your Title Here) - Steemit Inspiration
• Your first tag must be steemitinspiration and your second tag must be contest
• Submit the link to your story in the comments section of this post
• Your story must be submitted no later than the 30th of October at 10 PM Mountain Time (UTC-6)

Prizes:


1st Place - 7 SBD
2nd Place - 5 SBD
3rd Place - 3 SBD


This is my first contest ever, so it's pretty casual and I'll be the sole judge...as for what my judging criteria will be...well...I suppose whichever stories touch my heart the most will be the winners! :P

Wohoo for Rodeo <3

The gentle soul bursting with talent and a voice soon to be heard by millions. Congrats on the 100 <3

Thank you so much for your support @aymen! Seriously, it means so much to me. You were the very first person on Steemit to really make me feel like my writing was truly worth something, that it was something people would really want to read. I really and truly appreciate it! Will I be seeing a contest entry from you sometime soon? :P

You're just the sweetest, and I believe someone who has the drive and the will to shine, can do so much with external reinforcement and genuine appreciation, I know I do. And yes you might. :p

Yay! I'm looking forward to it if you do. :)

I truly believe so!

Hi, here is my post for the Contest, entitled: Gaining Happiness and Healing Through Sharing - Steemit Inspiration.

https://steemit.com/steemitinspiration/@binkyprod/gaining-happiness-and-healing-through-sharing-steemit-inspiration

As promised i have created my entry , and that entry comes to my heart and with feelings . =) Hope you could read it . https://steemit.com/steemitinspiration/@robin-ho/steemit-inspiration

Thank you so much for your entry! :) I really appreciate it! I look forward to reading it when I get back to Utah.

that's great to good and have a happy trip there in Utah , may you have a safe trip towards there.

Ohhhhh sheeet contest time ! Nice dude ! I'm so happy to see you pursuing this. It will come back 10 fold. This is the best platform in the world if you ask me lol. Thankyou for the awesome shoutout :)

Hell yeah! Dude of course!! I'll always shout out to you every chance I can fit a shoutout in :P Seriously, I wish you could know how much I really appreciate you for bringing me here. Steemit has changed my life, which means that you have changed my life bro!! I completely agree with you that this truly is the best platform in the world. I look forward to seeing the kind of growth that you and I both see in the coming weeks, months, years! :D

Haha hell yeah man I think it'll be bigger then Facebook

Dude I think so too! Bigger than all of them, really. Especially with APPICS rolling out in the next few weeks....that thing is gonna blow Instagram and Facebook out of the water for sure. After that catches on, no one will want to use Facebook and Instagram anymore....because why do all that stuff and not only not get paid for it, but actually also be profited off of by some corporation that owns all the data you share, when you could be doing all that same stuff and keep full ownership of your content AND make money for yourself while doing everything you're already doing on social media anyway? :D Blockchain is the future. Blockchain and cryptocurrency based social media networks are the future.

Wooohoooo, congratulations brother. I remember how happy I was when I reached my milestone. :) You also have an idea for a wonderful contest to celebrate it. Good luck to all the people who participate :)

Thank you so much! Seriously, I was ecstatic when I woke up this morning and got on Steemit and saw that. Such milestones are so important for keeping a forward motion and not letting the day to day life bring my spirits down and cause me to neglect my daily Steemit habit.

Thank you for your entry!! Good luck :)

Im gonna do this. I did something similar already but i will try to find a diff angle. Resteemed!! Keep up the good work! I appreciate your perspective!

Thank you so much for checking it out, for commenting, and for resteeming! I really appreciate the support. I'm looking forward to seeing your submission! :)

Would you mind sharing a link to your #introduceyourself post? I'd be interested to learn about your story on Steemit but is hard to find past content without a lot of frustration. Thanks.

Of course, here you go! Thank you so much for checking out my post and commenting on it! :) And thank you for being interested in reading more about me and what I post!

I was very ignorant of the various elements of heavy metal music until a friend was able to explain to me just what all the 'loud' sound was about and that there was a lot more to it if I really listened to it. I hope to find out more about EDM from your future posts :)

It's interesting that you mention heavy metal music, because I've noticed since I've been back in the EDM scene that for whatever reason a lot of heavy metal/rock culture is seeping into the EDM culture. Headbanging, for one. Mosh pits, as well. It fascinates me that even some rock artists are venturing into EDM stuff too.

I'm heading to an EDM festival in a few days, so be on the lookout for new content on The Dancing Dreamers soon! :)

Homeboy is rich now giving away money :D

lol I'm definitely nowhere near rich yet, though that's definitely the plan eventually. I'm just doing this because I see it as my way of giving back to this amazing community that has helped me grow so much in just the past two weeks :)

15 days, wow! Great job, I'm following you because you have good enthusiasm, appreciate MSP, and is already hosting your own contest! Looking forward to reading your posts, my feed could always use more vibrant colors.

Steem on! <3

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you coming to check out my post and leaving such a nice comment for me :) And thank you for following me too! I hope you will like my future posts.

Keep doing you, and I'm sure I will. Thank you for replying so promptly!
