Curious Facts Contest #5: Did you know that 80% of people on Steemit underestimate the power of communities?
Did you know that 80% of people on Steemit underestimate the power of cooperation and community?
A huge amount of people on Steemit (at least 80%) underestimate the power of cooperation and community.
Even those who join Discord communities aren't aware what kind of missed opportunities they are missing out there.
About a month and a half after I joined the first Creative Writing Challenge was organized. Participants were excited and I was happy, but I wasn't aware what I'm actually doing. Months later I joined The Writers Block on Discord and found people talking about me and the challenge. At that very moment I finally understood that people really paid attention to what I'm doing here.
Today I see people doing trying to organize a contest or an initiative, but they lack some kind of support and often they disappoint. It shouldn't happen, but it actually happens, because in general our nature is week and we often depend on external approval.
Make a step further...
The main ingredient for getting the support and overcoming any type of disappointment is making few steps further. I started with few unsuccessful attempts for contests while trying to find my niche here. What I discovered later is the impact of persistence.
If you get signals that people are interested in what you are doing and if you keep doing it supporters will arrive and you'll evident the foundation of your small circle of followers that regularly start checking what you are doing or participate in your initiatives.
They will start checking your profile even if your content doesn't pop up on their feeds that often.
Even though this is an entry for the Curious Facts contest #5 by @river-island, I'd finish with info about two other initiatives you might find useful:
The My-Niche Contest #1 for people looking to discover their own niche.
Supporting @hope777's cause on purchasing a new laptop.
Kind regards,

Join us at The Writers Block on Discord.
An awesome circle of writers there, supporting each other to get better at what they enjoy doing.
Keep on keeping on!
I have my own mountain to climb and your words are very encouraging!
Well, why not share the climbing efforts with me then? : )
Kind of accidentally I got involved with a writing contest... @torico had asked me to look at a guy's contest to enter.
I didn't like it much at first but then we began talking about improving his contest.
Next thing I know, I am his partner and we are hosting a competition. I need to write the prompts and judge the entries.
It has been fun though!
Oh, that's fantastic! What's the name of the contest? I would appreciate a short reply. Could investigate it myself, but if you posy the link here it might catch some interest from writers. I think I have a nice portion of writers that follow me.
Thanks! That is very kind of you!
The contest is called DocumentZ on the account @writers-edge
Here is the Episode 2 prompt:

People can join at any time.
Hey, this is a serious prompt and efforts overall! What you could do is reach out to @artz and ask him to include the contest in his contest curation posts - he posts one of these each week. It should attract some attention from there.
Cool I will do that! Thank you!
Yeah. Did quite a bit. I know so much more about Denver now... Dan and I said we should one day go visit the place we are tearing up in a Zombie Apocalypse! Lol
I've picked up Darrington, WA and already have few stories for the Darrington woods. Never being there, similar pattern : )
Hey, you made it in the last couple of hours before the contest's post pays out. Good luck, my friend. I hope many users will read your post and learn form it. Because community need to stick together and be supportive. Thank you for that entry.
Resteemd and Upvoted!
Happy to know it, thanks! Let's see what the new round will offer. Are you included in the @artz's list of contests?
Yes I am. :)
Estimate your great post
This post is not great. I consider this one as the greatest.
