Steemit Workshop and Follow-up Newbies was a Success[31st May 2024]

Steem greetings from the motherland-Cameroon to all friends of the steemit ecosystem. Before I talked about our last steemit workshop on Friday 31st May, 2024, permit me say the purpose of the workshop is to share experiences, challenges, learn and explore steemit together as a family. We believe that doing this every week is a way of strengthening our growth as a community and “stronger together”.

That said, on Friday 31st May, 2024, myself and @fombae and @thegreens held the workshop and it will continue to run smoothly every Fridays from 3:00 PM. During the workshop, each old participants are tasked to invite new users for the next training.

We discussed on a general view of what steemit is all about to the new comers. Literally, our plan is not to bring dormant users to the platform. We briefed them about steemit and if they are interested to create accounts, we mentor them and guide them in case of any possible challenges.

The workshop was attended by 9 participants and amongst them was 3 new comers. While thegreens was briefing the newcomers about steemit, I followed up with the old newbies to guide and also discussed about content presentation and emphasised on using simple markdown styles.

@fombae was supposed to be in charge of account creation unfortunately, we encountered blackouts and the Starlink internet signals went off. We could not create the newcomers accounts but we added them to our WhatsApp group for further guidance and mentorship. So far, only 1 of them has succeeded in creating an account by username @briyanfavour.

We hope that through our mentorship online via WhatsApp group, the other new attendees will be able to create accounts. I will use this opportunity to appreciate @yemsgroup for providing us with office space, free Starlink internet access and projector.
