Team Malaysia | Steemit Bootcamp in collab. CATALYST
This Steemit Bootcamp has been going on for a few months and this was my first time attending it. This initiative was started by @maverickfoo with the support of @bitrocker2020 to equip & help kickstart new Steemians on their Steemit journey.
I was privileged to be invited by @coachmelleow to come to this Bootcamp and I was also hoping to learn a thing or two about coaching/training people so maybe in the near future, I am able to run my own sessions. Thank you for inviting me and I couldn't ask for more because I was excited to learn and see how the professional, @maverickfoo coach Steemians.
A big shoutout to @coachmelleow once again for preparing a nice and comfy event space for the Bootcamp. @coachmelleow is part of an initiative called 'CATALYST' and is on a mission to 'Empower Social Change' in Africa. What is amazing is that 100% of the fees for this bootcamp are collected and given to fund CATALYST. Please do check out his post about CATALYST here.
CATALYST for Social Change
Before we started, @maverickfoo had to make sure that everyone has an approved account on Steemit so they are able to navigate together as he teaches about the interface of Steemit. He then introduced the '4Cs of Steemit Success' and that is 'Creation, Curation, Courtship and Community'. I also firmly believed that these four elements are core to how you succeed on Steemit.
I wouldn't go in depth about what he has talked about regarding these elements, but each of these elements needs to be tapped on if you want to succeed on Steemit. For example, if you were to solely just create content on Steemit without engaging through Curation, Courtship and Community, you wouldn't go far. True story! Being on Steemit for 201 days now, I've gotten to known that you have to learn to build genuine relationships with other Steemians, engage with sincerity and not for the sake of upvotes and follows. And lastly, be part of a community and there are MANY amazing communities out there. One of the few is @steemitbloggers, a quality powerhouse run by @jaynie.
Of course, we had to take a we-fie since we're talking about 'creating contents'. Haha, and these contents pay. @bitrocker2020, @littlenewthings, @khimgoh and @karinzdailygrind was able to join us half way through the bootcamp.
We had a tea break which I thought was our lunch! So i kinda took a lot of sandwiches cause it wasn't enough for me. I wonder did people notice that the sandwiches were gone pretty quickly. But it was during this time i enjoyed talking to some of the new Steemians and get to know them. One of them was @buzz.lightyear and found out that he wants to see how Steemit can help him build his awareness campaigns on climate change. What I would tell you is Steemit will definitely open endless possibilities for you to achieve your goals. Just a few months back, #teammalaysia managed to collect funds up to RM7000+(1,794USD+) from posting on Steemit to run a charity drive at Destiny Homes, Klang. Steemit is truly the future, a new era.
Guess what they are doing? A PRESSURE TEST! They've been tasked to do a 3 minute writing pressure test on THE MOST DANGEROUS WRITING APP. Go have a go at it, I know someone who has tried it an demanded to have both her arms back....aherm @jaynie...cough cough. But thanks @maverickfoo for introducing this app to us, the key is to Just keep writing. Which is kinda true, often times we spend too much time thinking about the best title, best caption and then 1 hour gone just like that.
Just keep writing~ Just keep writing~ - Dory
I was shocked when they announced that lunch was ready. I thought we just had lunch. Well, can't complain when there's food. Malaysians love food. We're always eating. If you see an angry Malaysian, treat him/her to a meal, it will usually solve the issue.
We had a 'chunking' session to help content creator organize their train of thoughts better for posting. When you've done the 'chunking' process, you'll realize that you will have tons of things to write about for your post.
We also had our very own @littlenewthings come out to share about herself. Need to hear the big sister of #teammalaysia share.
And definitely a group photo at the end of everything. I wanna take this opportunity to thank @maverickfoo for constantly giving your best in providing these workshops, @coachmelleow for securing the event space and definitely @bitrocker2020, #teammalaysia witness for supporting these initiatives to grow Steemians in Malaysia. If you have not join any of our events and workshops, I urge you to join us! It'll be fun meeting new people and the awesome individuals that you'll probably see around for a loong loonggg timee...
Oh right, food again. :D After the Bootcamp we had our dinner and late night chats about Steemit and life. I hope to be able to join and support many of these workshops in the future. There are so many exciting events coming up, and I hope to meet each and everyone of you that I've not met yet in these events! Till then!~
Thank You

I am not certain is it a good thing or a bad thing when you actually hear it. hahahaha.....
I hope they will remember never, EVER, EVER, loose your master key .... haha
Haha definitely a GOOD THING la... :D Yea, need to keep reminding everyone.
@littlenewthings Whether for the good or bad, the saying goes... If you ever lose your master key... you will never get another key
This looks like it was a lot of fun and very informative! How often are these held? Are expats living in Malaysia allowed to come? :)
LOL! So true ... and they love a variety of foods! There are foods available from almost every culture here. I will be sure to remember the tip about angry Malaysians ;)
@helenoftroy, definitely you are welcome! You can even be part of #teammalaysia as long as you are living in Malaysia. :) Are u staying in Malaysia?
We have these Bootcamps and other workshops once a month.
Yes, my husband and I came here (KL) last year to teach. But now my visa allows us to contract with an online company. I've been tempted to use #teammalaysia but wasn't sure if that would be okay :) How many Steemians in KL do you think?
Where can we find out more about the Bootcamps?
Can you DM me on discord plz? Easier to talk to you. Our #teammalaysia tag can be used when you're verified as either a Citizen of Malaysia or an Expat living in Malaysia. I'm sure we would love to get to know you on our community server too :)

Haha, we'll chat there. :D

Hahah, Malaysians is Food. Food is Malaysians. :D
glad to see so many workshops and grow in teammalaysia community! the more the marrier!
Got a lot! You should join us or come support support :D
Wow this is absolutely incredible! Its great to see full-fledged bootcamps already popping up it shows how powerful this platform is really becoming! It's actually an interesting way of measuring the overall growth of the platform to see howmany groups and bootcamps spur over the world and howmuch interest they're receiving. Resteemed!
Ohh Steemit has SO much potential and it's only in it's infancy. I'm glad you're part of Steemit too! :D
yup and now is a critical point in time . with this whole delete facebook movement going on hopefully we'll see steemit grow by quite a bit in the coming weeks!
Haha! Good thing you've joined early. Still not too late to pioneer something on Steemit
Yup. So I have a decently successful website/insta account which discusses the university degrees of famous people . The plan is start posting those here. It's nice cuz I put in so much work a while ago writing all these posts for my website so all I gotta do is migrate those existing posts over to here:) . I'm just trying to be as active as I can for now to gain at least somewhat of a following before I go all-in on my #introduceyourself post . Feel free to let me know if that's a dumb strategy and if i should just start posting my content . You seem like you've been on here for a while haha
My only advice is to becareful when u move ur contents from your website to Steemit. Steemit prefers first hand contents meaning contents that are not found anywhere else. However, you can migrate those contents but you would have to rewrite everything differently.
If it is too similar to your website, steemcleaners or cheetah will catch you for plagiarism.
lmao i got rid of the website a few months. Like its not online anymore so i think i should be ok?
Nice one here @zord189 . I admire your enthusiasm to groom, interact and work with communities.
It's always exciting to see fresh faces on Steemit :D

Thanks for sharing this post. How cool that you have such a large group of fellow Steemians close that you can get together with and learn. I think it would be cool to attend some kind of large Steemit event at some point. It really looks like you had a lot of fun.
Ohhh, Steemit events are always fun! Maybe you can search for Steemians around your area?
What a brilliant get-together! And for such a good cause – your post inspired me to read more about #catalyst. Very inspiring.
