13 days ago I had never heard of steemit. I just broke into the Top 1000 Most Followed bloggers on Steemit per SteemWhales.com, in just 12 Days!
Hey Again, Steemitizens!
Well, this was a fine how-do-you-do? I was playing around checking myself in the mirror over at http://steemwhales.com and I was shocked to discover that sometime today I broke into the top 1000 bloggers on steemit, as measured by the number of people following me. With close to 150,000 registered accounts, idle or active, I feel pretty strong about making the top 1000 for followers in just 12 days.
Even better is the quality of my new friends here. I've culled a good bit of the list I blindly followed when I got here, but I made sure I kept all the people who had chosen to follow me of their own free will.
I never begged or really asked for any follows, except as a fun condition of a couple of small challenges Ive run. In general, I did it the old fashion way. I wrote, and posted and conversed and commented and followed interesting people, and hung out in chat on steem.chat and in discord.
I worked it. For 12 days, hard, little sleep, just one... more... post...
Just one... more... reply...
And it is paying off. I'm in several top 5000 category spots or better on steamwhales, and way down the list in a few areas too, but this metric seems vastly important in nature and I'm so proud to have the fans, friends and followers I've met here this last 12 days, by my side into the amazing future Steemit and STEEM hold in store for us all!
[Post Update:]
Here's ANOTHER crazy stat I just found out about myself! In the top 750 of ALL steemit users or post count.
I've been here 12 days. Some of these people have been here 18 months!
for helping me break into the
Top 1000 Most Followed!
And just like that, this post is over.
Full steem ahead, steemitizens!
@sircork
Well congrats to you! Steem-rolling!
Thanks! I'm unstoppable, except for law enforcement and physics!
And even then. Physics can help you get through law enforcement! There are no cops on the moon.
WRONG! SAD! COVFEFE! EVEN THE FRENCH LOVE ME! #FAKENEWS
Oof. I guess even when STEEM goes to the moon, we'll still have to contend with property rights. Oof.
Get off my moon lawn!
There's a drought! You should replace your moon lawn with astroturf.
lol
Very jealous! You were one of the first I interacted with. An inspiration to keep working at this.
I think this every time I see your pic.
Oddly similar, aren't they? ;D
I assumed it was intentional... wait... you're not The Tom, are you?
Pfffft no homey!
I AM SIRCORK
That's just danish for Tom. Mmm. Danish.
I prefer the scotch.
You were one of the first genuine replies i got when I first posted less than two weeks ago. Showing me a part of this positive steem community. I've been following ever since. Keep it up!
Aww the memories gives me the feelz! <3 I'll try to stay entertaining and most of all REAL!
That's really amazing! Good going!
Thanks! I can't help myself, I can't stop!
Keep it up, you beast!
Awesome, I have been on for 11 days now and I love it here ...
It just gets better and better!
Holy smokes ... that's is awesome... I finally hit 200 today . Also joined last week
That's how it all begins. Then it get's crazy. Take time off now and then. Breathe. :)
Yeah - I haven't been breathing much layely. Need some sleep too .
Good luck with sleep around here!
I am working on a full time off grid life here in Canada ... right now we are off the grid in the summer by the lake.
Summer? Halfway there! The easy half! :D
Congrats! Keep it up in thesame pace
Full steem ahead, steemitizen!
Awesome to connect! My fiance and I just moved into our camper on our land in North Carolina. Excited to connect with fellow homesteaders and learn from others. Glad to be following your journey and here's to an abundant future!
My family is making noises about moving into NC. I'm in Columbia, SC right now. I don't really like the area much, and would love to have a little bit of land up in the mountains that I could put one of my human hobbit homes on. I keep dreaming and working day by day toward my goal, but seeing people like you who are really doing it gives me hope!
Keep holding the vision and feel what it will be like to be living it! There is a way so it's just a matter of being open to the possibility that will make it so. Keep sharing your vision and planting seeds for it to manifest! Great to be connected on here. :)
I'm 30 miles-ish east of Asheville. :D Welcome!
Nice! Marion? Old Fort?
Just outside Marion
Awesome! Maybe we'll cross paths one of these days. It's a small world after all.
It's entirely possible.
Well done, dude! Good luck reaching top 100. ;-)
Gonna need at least another 12 days... ;)
