RE: How did you find out about Steemit?This is my story! And...what’s yours?
In my case, I discovered Steemit on Facebook. Mr. @Jerrybanfield has this promotion about Steemit. He was talking about what it is and what potential it could be. I was intrigued so I gave it a try and the last thing I knew, I became a Steemian.
On the first months, I am one of those people who are filled with energy and just keeps going because we are getting noticed. Everybody was there to welcome me as a new member of the Steemit community.
But as days go by, I felt a bit off track. Like, where is everybody? Is my contents aren't worthy enough for an upvote? Why am I not getting any engagement? That's when I started questioning the platform and myself as well. That time I was foolish not believing in potential. Now I am wiser because I believe.
I'll admit that I was inactive for months and not only once and I regret it. I should've never lost passion. I should have persevered more even though with little attention. Good thing we have the power to make a change.
I may have lost opportunities, friends, engagement, and my chance to spread what gift I have, it will not defer me from starting out again and believing in potential of everybody.
...just commenting. 😶
Interesting read. I am new here and this is my first post. The concept of steemit blockchain also seemed fascinating to me, that's why I decided to signup. Like you, I also discovered steemit through Jerrybanfied. I was watching a video on youtube and suddenly, he popped up in the ads. I've watched a few of his videos, especially on T-shirt designs and was a bit curious as to what he had to say. Needles to point out that the ad was a lenghty one and to my surprise, I actually watched the full video. It took me about a week to sign up and after the sign up wait time of about a month, well, I'm here.
I am excited to begin my baby steps on this platform and explore what it has to offer.
The most important question is: What you have to offer?
Make sure to be yourself. And never care about what others might think off your writings and your posts. That is the best advise I can give you
:)
I'll heed to that ... thanks!
Yeah it was a lengthy video and he had me hooked that I also finished watching it until the end. Now that you mentioned it, I also waited a month or so I guess for the membership confirmation.
It is never too late. You can make a fresh start. Start visiting other blogs. Make useful and smart comments. Don't focus on your blog only. Interact!!!
You will be noticed by the right people at no time. By right people I don't necessarily mean a whale or something. But from people who share the same ideas as you do.And be persistent. Never give up. This might be a chance to change your life.
I would also suggest to check all the Dapps and see if you could create content there.
Dtube, Dlive etc
Thank you and yes, I'm doing it many more times than I do before.
To be you is the best way to stand out among the rest. I don't really want to go that point alone though, because what's the point in getting it major if you're alone. That kind of success can't be called happiness I believe.
Right now I don't see myself engaging in Dapps, Dtube, Dlive etc. Not that I dislike them, I want to focus first in rebuilding my blog. I hope that someday I'll see myself creating contents in those sites as well. ^^
