A Simple Steemit Presentation To Four (4) Friends (Including Photographs of My Branded Steemit t-Shirt)
For love of steemit and in a bid to create awareness of what it's all about, I made a short and simple presentation of steemit yesterday to four (4) friends. Thanks to my good friend, Stoja Petrovic, who invited me over to do the presentation. Her friends, Jelena and Sarah (Jelena's daughter) are also my mutual friends. Svetomir, the only man (blessed among four women. Hahaha...), is Stoja's neighbor, who expressed interest to join us. Below are some photographs from the meeting.
First to the left (Sarah), second to the left (Svetomir), third to the left is Jelena and then yours sincerely (@maryfavour) wearing a steemit branded t-shirt.
Flanking me on the right is Svetomir and Stoja on the left. Stoja fed us with too much pizza for me get bigger and gain more weight. Hahaha...
Think it, steemit. Absolutely! That is the inscription on the front side of my new branded t-shirt. If you can think it, then steemit.
Presenting Steemit With the Acronym PIVOT&E
Since the meeting was going to be an informal one, I thought to make a simple presentation that everyone can remember. What came to my mind was the word, PIVOT, remembering my high school physics, parts of a lever . By definition, Pivot is a central point on which something balances or turns.

Moreover, before the screen printer made the branded t-shirts , I thought of the acronym PIVOTE (from PIVOT) and told him to print the words; Post, Interact, Vote and Earn, alongside QR code of the link to my steemit page, on the back side of the t-shirt. See photograph below.
- Post
- Interact
- Vote
- O (2nd letter in the word 'vote)
- T ( 3rd letter in the word 'vote)
- Earn
Below are 3 short video clips of the presentation (mostly in Serbian language/'srpski')

What are your thoughts regarding my first steemit presentation to a small group of friends? How do you present and promote steemit to your friends, family and acquaintances? Please, share in the reply and comments section below. I would like to hear from you.
Keep up the great work promoting #Steemit. Good luck with #promo-steem and #promo-serbia. The T-Shirts look great. Well done. Stephen
Thanks a lot, @stephenkendal! I am really honoured to have you visit my blog. Glad to know that you like the t-shirts. Honestly, the idea of QR code, I got first from reading how you add the code to your flyers for #promo-uk. So, I figured that it would be nice to print it on the back of steemit branded t-shirts. Many thanks too for giving me a whole new idea of #promo-serbia. I should begin to use that tag soon.
@maryfavour
How come i didn't see this?🙆.. This is beautiful ma'am , lovely pictures😍😍😍.. Thanks for spreading the gospel of Steemit to serbia people!🙌🙌🙌🙌
Hahahaa, @sweetestglo-eu 😃😃😃. I don't know why you didn't see it. Thanks for the commendation. Much appreciated, dear. Cheers.
My informal presenation starts by me asking them questions in this order below!
The first question leads me to the next and i introduce Steemit and tell them they can earn a small reward posting about their passion.
I then explain how the money is paid by converting Steem Dollars/Steem to Bitcoin which they can sell and get real cash.
Fantastic way of presenting steemit! Finding out what theirs passions are is good entry method. Moreover, during Q & A session, that aspect of passion can also be dealt with. For instance, Sarah has a flair for arts and posed a question where to find the #art tag. I showed it to her and she was very glad to know that there is a community of people with similar passion /interest such as hers in steemit. Keep the steemit flag flying!
I would just say keep your STEM and power up in order to build real wealth... Just my humble opinion.
Thank you for your comment, @czechglobalhosts. Keeping steem and power up is key, but they need to earn it. The way to earn steem by blogging is the PIVOT & E, which I described in my videos.
Tjis is good ma! Na to steal this cloth 😁
The QR code is a good one too. It makes it easier to see your page without telling them..go to steemit...search for... and stuffs.
I now have mug and shirt stollen in my brain already 😀
Hahaha...It's my pleasure, @smyle. You want to steal my cloth? Funny you. Lol!
I absolutely agree with you. It's interesting to know too that you now have a mug and shirt that have been stolen in your brain. Thanks for your contribution, brother.
Outstanding job! Very nice slogan and usage of QR code to bring more people in.
Ah good to see you here, @enjar, my friend.
Thanks for the commendation. Yes, I figured out that the QR code will bring more people in like you rightly stated. If you see my size in that photograph, you'll discover that my fitness goal have not really been a success. As much as I can, I eat less junk food (apart from a couple of times like yesterday when Stoja fed us with 6 pizzas. Lol.). Excercise is what is missing in my dream to lose weight. Finding a place where I can do zumba dance, will help a great deal, since I like dancing. Cheers.
My diet and goals have been hit or miss. I’m not losing much weight but I think I’m gaining muscle. I’m a few days behind posting my next update even. I did get some exercise in today and taking a short break before some more.
I was really hoping to have a lot more energy by now. Last couple of days I’ve only wanted to sleep and not do much else.
I hope you find a place for Zumba dancing and make some time for yourself. Have a wonderful week!
It's good that you are gaining muscle, which means progress.
I really hope so too. Thanks, @enjar.
Great t-shirt; love the QR code on the back!
I have a couple of friends that just opened a Bitcoin Store and they are big cryptocurrency fans. We talk Steem and other currencies whenever we are together. It's inform, but its fun to relate with others involve in the same endeavors.
Great post; wish I spoke Serbian! Cheers!
Thanks, @braveboat! The QR code is just another fascinating thing about the branded t-shirts. Anyone behind me can easily use his/her phone to scan the code, which would immediately take them to my blog. No need to type a long url.
Wow! A bitcoin store sounds interesting. It's always fun to be with those you share same interests.
Serbian language, one of the slavic languages, is not easy to learn and understand. Native speakers of the language like @lighteye, @olegw, must have noticed the mistakes I made in the grammar declension or cases. There are 7 of them in srpski and you have to keep changing these words, which makes the language difficult. In the third video clip of my post, for instance, I said
I really appreciate your support. Keep steeming!
Thanks, @maryfavour. Your Serbian grammatical errors are safe with me! ;)
Hahahaaa...okay. I hear you. No more worries. This really made me smile. Cheers.
This is really great. I love the T- shirt. It's beautiful. I love that you are promoting Steemit ma.
Letting people understand Steemit actually pays is a good way to bring them to the community but telling them the ups and downs will make them commited. Thank you for sharing ma.
Thank you, @harbysco. I absolutely agree with you that
There is nothing that doesn't have ups and downs. Life itself is full of ups and downs. They will either learn to cope of decide whichever way to follow. Mine is to encourage as much as I can. I appreciate your contribution, dear. Keep the steem fire burning!
I like reading about the efforts of trail blazers on steemit. It is refreshing and an inspiration for we the upcoming ones. Thanks
Wow! Steemit trail blazers. So, I have become one? That's quite interesting, @greenrun. I appreciate your contribution. Cheers.
Thanks a lot
Hmm mm... I don't know what to say to you. Amazing job well done. I love the "if you can think it, then steem it" part. Steemit rocks.
Same here, @phait. Thanks, dear. The inspiration of think it, steemit came when I was thinking of something unique to inscribe on the t-shirt. I said to myself, If you can think it, then steemit. Glad you like it as much as I do. Yes, steemit rocks.
This is a great one, I love the strategy and the way it was presented. Can you link this to the @steemgigs community by @surpassinggoogle?
Thank you, @turpsy! Yes, I can link it to @steemgigs community by @surpassinggoogle. This is my first presentation and there are more to come. I am planning to do a formal presentation exclusively with students of the University of Belgrade. That is where I am planning to talk about @steemgigs. Usually, when I market steemit to students, I use @steemgigs as entry point. I learnt to do that after reading @surpassinggoogle's post on steemgigs for students.
