@theprophet0's Blog. Vote. Get Paid. Car Magnet Campaign.
I can't believe it!!! I entered a contest that one of our Steemit Witnesses @theprophet0 orchestrated a couple of weeks ago and I was one of 10 "lucky" winners!
Thank you, thank you, thank you @theprophet0!!!
I actually got a little emotionally about winning this magnet for the outside of my car.
It's the very first thing that I have actually won on Steemit that was sent to me in the mail from another country and it was real. I can hold it in my hands and it's not virtual or digital. Imagine that!
This is the actual package that I found on my door step today. It was left by our mail carrier between our screen door and our side door. (As such, it was protected from the elements all day which is a good thing because it's been a little rainy here.)
I became emotional because it was confirmation that Steemit is real and it is full of REAL genuine people who get stuff done...they don't just talk about ideas, they take action and I am the recipient of some of this action. It's these little things that ultimately produce the biggest results for all of us.
I do hope that you all enjoy the video of the "BIG" unveiling that @knarly327 and I made and posted to Youtube on June 22, 2017:
Here's @theprophet0's originally blog post that announced the contest giveaway. At the bottom of the post are the step by step instructions to vote for Steemit witnesses. If you haven't voted for any of the Witnesses yet, please do so. They fill a very valuable role building our blockchain so that we can all Blog. Vote. Then, GET PAID.
Thanks again @theprophet0!
I welcome your comments and I invite you to follow me on my journey...now with a CAR MAGNET! Yahoo!

Glad you like it!!! :)
@theprophet0 is exemplary~*~
Agreed! He's making a great life for himself and has a fantastic head start. Brilliant I'd say. :)
Yea at such young age too!
I LOVE it and I LOVE STEEMIT!
Thanks again.
I need a little clarification on the witness voting procedure. I have voted for you as a witness in the past...Do I have to keep voting or is one vote enough? I checked the voting site and it looks like my selections are still valid but I'd like to know for sure if I need to do anything else. :)
Wow great. I LIKE it!
Thanks @kus-knee! I was shocked.
There is a slight problem though...my car is mostly plastic, so we had to become creative in how we affixed it.
Steem is great because of the innovative minds , kindness and the helping hand of good members like @theprophet0 and your appeciative heart @rebeccaryan .
Glad that I am following both of you and @knarly327 . You guy are great and motivates new member like me to continue working even harder. Congratulations and I wish you more success here.
You are most welcome and thank you for your kind words @charles1!
Welcome. I have followed you and I will help where ever I can. :)
Thanks @rebeccaryan for your comment which is well received. I posted an article on my blog yesterday which outlined why steemit will take over social media and even take the fight to the likes of face book...( please check it out) . Posts like yours will certainly show members that hardwork pay and that appreciation , pays even more . Thanks for your support, bless you.
I won one too, but I wasn't able to reply in time before steemit.chat went down... Hopefully it will come back up so I can get @theprophet0 my address info :D
Well congratulations to you too @theb0red1!
I have followed you so that all of us "magnets" can stick together. @theprophet0 should see the tag, and will know that there is an issue with steemit.chat. I know that people have been having difficulty getting messages for the last 48 hours.
Yes, I checked isitdownrightnow.com, and it says it's been down for ~2 days 9 hours. Not sure what happened or when it's coming back... Hopefully soon!
Hello, the chat is already working. Check it last night. Everything is normal. Happy day.
Yes, I got in touch with him 🙂
That well, is an important tool.
@rebeccaryan.
Wow. Great news. Your hard work is paying off. As you say, Steemit is real. I can only imagine the emotion you must have had when you realized what the package was. You have more evidence to present to the people, when you share Steemit with them.
I am happy for you.
I have been trying to get some of my family interested. I think I finally have some of the many convinced and they will join soon.
What I have found out is this. Most of the younger people only use cell phones or little note pads. That makes it more difficult to use Steemit. But, it isn't impossible. I will soon have to learn how to use a cell phone for Steemit myself. Ugh. I won't be around computers all day. Sooooo
Let me give a little tidbit on @rebeccaryan's bog about who I am. When I say family. I am not kidding. My mother had nineteen (19) babies...................
Now Francis. Quit trying to take over @Rebeccaryan's blog. Back to the subject at hand. lol
Congratulations. You have finally made it. Enjoy.
Francis
Hi Francis!
Thank you!!! (I cried. That's what happens when you wear your heart on you sleeve.) Never ever have I had a post, be so well received. I am humbled and still in shock.
Do your best with your family. It is a hard go to get people to realize that this is not a scam and that it really works, if you make an effort.
Thanks again for supporting me. I feel incredible grateful. ;)
Oh Rebecca
In my thinking of myself, I had forgot to tell you that I I heard your voice for the first time. On the video. Now I know why you are so convincing.
After listening to you, I wanted to sign up again. Ha
And I will support you until the end. Hopefully that is a long way off. At least time enough to have reached a level of satisfaction with Steemit. Not true today. I don't even sleep right anymore. Always thinking and planning.
Thank you for leading the way. You may have to blaze a sizable trail for me to follow. I am a little wobbly now. Trying to find balance and direction.
Francis
Hahaha! Francis you make me laugh out loud for real!!! You and I along with our spouses (if you have one) need to go to Lisbon to Steemfest 2 in November. Wouldn't that be fun?
I meant to tell you that I noticed your reputation changed from 47 to 48. That's an accomplishment and proof that you are moving forward.
Is the not sleeping because you can't shut your mind off?
Not to worry, I feel wobbly too...we are suppose to be building our own little communities on here, the problem is I don't really know what my community is exactly. Do I stick in nature? life? photography? steemit-help? cryptocoins? cannabis? Does that stick you in trading? and photography? I don't know.
My point here is I don't really know what direction to go in. LOL
Rebecca, yes I have a spouse. We can call her Pat and be safe. She isn't with me right now. So I have be careful. As you know, I go to her at the end of next week. Lots of changes for me then. Dragging computers, sheets of papers, records, etc.
The simple truth is this. If she had been here the whole Steemit time. I wouldn't be along the way as far as I am. Or as close to nothing as I am. lol
I may not be the stranger community builder as some have been. I lean more toward the family community builder. But, who knows how that will work out though?
oops. Here I am again. Rambling about nothing.
Hey, it's Friday evening. Enjoy yourself with @knarly327. Enough Steemit for a while.
A weekend. Friday evening posts are for old folks. Me. Ha
Francis
It's like that for me too. LOL!
It's taken me all day and into the early evening to respond to comments. I try to reply as quickly as I can, but sometimes things back-up on me.
So, if I am reading this correctly, you have been living like a bachelor online for a few weeks which has let you toil away on Steemit and make some progress. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Awesome! We don't need to be in the top 50 witness to be a witness but it greatly help! Thank you for supporting my witness @rebeccaryan!
Nice post and I'm glad you won!
Have fun!
Thank you for reading, voting and commenting @teamsteem! I am happy to support you. I just (tonight actually) read one of your posts from a month ago in which you described what it takes to be a witness, what witnesses do and some of the criteria around maintaining your witness status. There were many things that I didn't know like how many witnesses you can actually vote for and until I read your post, I didn't know that I could vote for others, from spot 51 on. I was also unsure if I had to keep voting over time, but it appears that my vote stays in place until I change it. Obviously, I still have some learning to do on this subject because I thought it was important for a witness to stay in the top 50 positions so that they could maintain their status. More research is required on my part. Thanks again. :)
So cool! followed! Love this...spreading the word about the coolest social outlet ever invented. Go get em! :)
I have followed you, too!
Thank you so much @queeneleanor!!! It is very cool and I can tell you that people have been keenly interested and are asking me lots of questions. It's been amazing!
Cool! I just spent the last hour designing my own Steem shirt online...super excited to get it. Best believe I'll be showing it off when I get it in next week. :)
