We totally lost track of time having fun and ended up with almost an hour of material! So I have decided it is best to break it up and drop it over several posts.

Thank you so much for your support!! We had a fun time recording it, but that would only be half the fun without you all watching it :)
Thanks for stopping by!

I was serious on Part one! Don't you ever call me at that number!!
Huh? Somehow, I dont remember you saying that??? ;)
LOL
That sunset photo really catches the eye on the steemit thumbnail photo preview.
That worked out well then thanks!
@old-guy-photos,
I just watched the latest episode of "Paul and his Lady Friend." You're In Deep ... and I'm getting concerned.
You're apologizing for Thousand Islands dressing? Really? I'm as old as you. Do you know what my favorite dressing is ... Blue Cheese, and none of that low-fat crap either. Straight from the udder. And you know what else ... I don't even care if my Blue Cheese dressing comes with a salad. And, unless I'm lunching with the Queen, I'm licking the bowl.
Too many girl-poets in your life. They're making you soft. What's next, "Well ... 'free verse' is poetry too?"
You wanna lose a few pounds? We'll do it like men. You and me. Northern Saskatchewan for a month with nothing but a knife and our wits. I promise you, you'll bloody well lose weight! But you'll do it in a way worthy of the ovations of armies. When (if) you get back, that lady-poet of yours will be serving you up Thousand Islands with a ladle.
Ha! That is all well and good except Im fairly certain it would be much more IF than WHEN I get back!!! The devil is always in the details!
You see, I have done my share of Blue Cheese, and about 6 other dudes' share as well. Red Lobster used to have Crabby Mondays...all you can eat salads with hunks of blue cheese and all you can eat Crab Legs!!! Oh the gluttony I committed in there is legendary. Hence now I am having to suffer for those transgressions!!
@old-guy-photos,
Alas.
Paul, quick question: Are any of these pay-to-resteem feeds worth it? I need to get in front of more eyeballs and obtain more Followers, but I'm skeptical that anyone actually reads all the stuff coming out of these feeds. Do you have any experience with them?
Never used one. I think authentic comments and good content are a good bet. It's kind of hard to find a short cut, but then again I'm kind of old school lol
Me too, but I'm also getting kind of impatient. My posts take a long time and a lot of effort to create and it's hard to justify it for $0.50/post (most of that coming from you). Thanks again.
When I see the 'quality' of a lot of the stuff that actually makes it into Trending, it's hard not to think of the old poker maxim: "Look around the table. If you can't spot the sucker, then it's you."
I have an idea of how to incorporate Steemit into my advertising business but I have to establish some substance first ... I can't go to ad agencies for Fortune 500 companies and use $0.50/post and 40 Followers as 'proof of concept.'
But going to them with bigger numbers that I simply bought through up-voting bots won't work either. That's not real interest. It has to be real.
That poem that I created for my daughter's birthday: A guy on Instagram saw it and contacted me to ask permission to have his church print it up (off Zazzle, a lot cheaper given the quantity) by the hundreds so a copy could be given to each child in their church. Before you, it had made $0.03. That toast to mother's of fallen soldiers ... I've seen a room of combat vets begin to sob, never mind their wives. $0.02 prior to your up-vote.
It's good stuff. So where's Curie? Where are the damned dolphins?
Argh!
Well I know my buddy @c0ff33a used to get 3 cents but now he gets triple digits. He has mastered upvote bots. I dont use them, but many do.
This whole Steemit think is an its infancy. Were still in beta! We all started just like you did. Heck @c0ff33a quit a time or two lol. This is Facebook 2005. Personally I tell newbies to post one good post then spend 3 days commenting and interacting. Then post again... You got to build a following to see your posts. I am not sure that you can count on this to be more than a fun hobby at this point.
Hey, it's my amazing wit and charm that get's me all those upvotes! Paul of course is spot on the best thing you can do to promote your own blog is comment on others - comments are like adverts for yourself and can quickly pull In new followers. Look up the different Discord channels available and get into a community on one of those to share your work further. Safest (and currently silent so no advert comment on your blog) Upvote by is https://smartsteem.com/ they always double what you put in or your money back - not hugely profitable but a little kick can work wonders - I use it alot on struggling accounts I follow - it can take a $0.57 to $2.4 and after that some I have seen grow naturally to $6 or $8. Also try https://steemfollower.com/?r=158 you put 5 upvotes into the system per day and then your own latest posts get shown to be upvoted by others - it's a good way to get a few more upvotes and seen by more people and costs nothing. Good luck my friend @quillfire

That was really entertaining, the pair of you :) A little banter and discussion never goes amiss.
We do enjoy a bit of banter. Upped
The thousand island question got me laughing.
I had a good time doing this one!
Good job.
Thanks you! Upped.
Y'all crack me up. :) Waiting on number 3. Peace
Thanks! Right here it is, Sir.

Because I see better than I understand (English), I must first tell you that I love the image of the yellow flowers (some of my favorite flowers). Then I have to congratulate you for the discussion with Denise. Further proof that Steemit can bring people closer!
I've seen recommendations to @quillfire, obviously the right ones. I have respected, it works, but it is good to use the recommendations of @c0ff33a too. I think it's easier to grow so naturally, through good posts, comments plus buy some votes. Seeing something over $ 1- $ 5 on a post that you've worked hard enough is encouraging (even if you know you bought a part).
Very good and thanks so much!
I think Steemit is one of those things where everyone needs to find their own way. The struggle is real and the only shortcut is buying a bunch of Steempower maybe.
Yeah, it's a good method ... I missed it when Steem was under a dollar.
You may get that chance again. Upped.;)
Yes, everything is possible!
I seen this one YouTube before your post came up here the other day. You two are hilarious and bounce good off each others comments. :D
Yeah we need to get her audio fixed. She was looking at a Blue Yeti :) but it was kind of nice having her a bit quieter LOL
I've already picked out the one I am getting on Amazon. I plan to order it on Friday. :D
These are such fun to listen to
And fun to make LOL Upped!
