Candidate #2

Username:

@bunnymoney

Start Date:

1/2/2018

Primary Niche:

I think that's one of the areas I'm still developing. I do speak a lot on health and fitness.

What Brought You to Steemit?

I saw a huge potential for people to be able to advance themselves financially by sharing their knowledge with others. In addition to this it creates an environment to make friends around the world who have similar interests. I'm also a challenge driven person so it's been amazing to be pushed to step out of my comfort zone and share areas of myself that normally I may hesitate to share. I've also learned so much more about the crypto world and how everything works together.

Long-term Goals?

This is a tough question to answer. I think all of us would love to have 20k followers and average $1k on every post haha but for me it's more about self growth. To have a definable goal they need to be measurable and quantitative so I would say by the end of 2018 I would like to have 2,000 followers who I can inspire and educate in the various areas of my knowledge. Thus far I have posted about my family and different life experiences. I have gained more confidence to be on camera to share my fitness knowledge as well. What I've seen a lot on Steemit is that as people grow and become more involved in the platform, their goals become more defined and solidified. I think I'm still in the process of learning for myself what my aspirations are. But for now let's say by the end of 2018 I want to increase my level of engaged active followers, travel to a different country to meet someone I know on steemit, and attend 3 more meetups or conferences (I've already attended two, Steem Creators Las Vegas April, and DLive Meetup NYC May).

Why Should We Pick You?

I'm sure that every applicant to your initiative has a vast array of knowledge to share with the world. What sets me apart is that I'm more of a jack of all trades. If you were able to read the post I sent for my "best blog post" I've experienced many different things in life and have a lot to share with the world that could maybe help or inspire them. I was a model then was a female in the military then a national fitness competitor and now a business owner. I also think it's beneficial to choose me as I can inspire other strong females to get involved on the blockchain and share their own experiences and knowledge. I have so much to offer to help others succeed and grow in their own personal and professional ventures I can guarantee that your delegation will not go to waste. It will be used to empower other amazing content creators and support the growth of this amazing community!

Why Should We Pick You?

Currently I am planning to create more open source projects that would be helping steemit users to get more engaged with other steemit users. For example earlier I had launched my first small open source project called Recent posts widget, which help user to get a their recent posts in embedded form so they can easily use it in their new post. This widget will help to get more engagement with their followers or readers. I have described my whole idea in this post: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@techstack/6nywp6-steemit-recent-posts-feed-widget-app

I haven’t seen that anybody offering such free widgets. I have lot of future plans to release more features that create some value for the platform and their users.
