Introduce Yourself In The Comments.. Meet Others and Compare Interests. #2

in #meetup6 years ago


 One of the most common complaints I hear from people with young accounts is it is difficult to find a following.  I agree it is difficult to find others who might be interested in your posts.  Don't feel too bad even those of us who have built an audience are feeling like readers are a bit scarce right now. 

 

Let's try this...  (I have no idea if it will be effective)

 Make a comment giving a short description of who you are and what you write about.  I'm not looking for your real life name, but rather who you are on Steem and what you are about and interested in.

One of the reasons I quit myspace and moved to Facebook was how easy Facebook made it in the early years to find your friends and those who held the same interests.  It was a lot more fun to engage with people who I either knew or had shared interests with.

I encourage you (on this post only to) drop a link and a description of yourself in the comments.  If you drop one, also find someone else to follow.  It is a slightly organized follow4follow post.

I will highlight the 10 introductions that I find the most interesting and there might be bonuses as well.It's just an experiment, take a minute post about your interests and if you think it might be helpful give it a resteem.

Who knows you might find a new supporter as well.

Meet up in the comment section. 

I did this 2 months ago and the post had the 2nd highest level of engagement I've ever had at 253 comments, which tells me people are really wanting to meet others.

If you are new and wanting to ask any questions or say hi, I hit lots of Discords, but mostly hang out in SteemSpeak, come by and say hi!

Love this thread, great idea!

I'm @kadoka, for now I'm focusing on creating and sharing my photography and videos, so at this point most of what I write pertains to the visual media I've created. I do like to write, but I haven't quite found my voice here yet and much of what I write elsewhere seems a bit too personal for steemit.

These are samples from some of my recent photography based blogs:

I've spent a lot of time over the last few years having crazy wilderness adventures, a side effect of that is bringing back things to share. Images, videos, and stories! One of the things I really love is finding an amazing place in nature that very few people have discovered, capturing that, and sharing the view. I work mostly with bracketed images for my landscape photography and film a lot with drones for the the videos.

I'm also starting to make GIFs today, which seems a good idea since they play automatically and don't require a clickthrough to dtube to view!

beautiful pictures!

@whatsup,
Do you need my RL name? Ah ha that's good I have plenty of STEEMIAN friends in my FB (Thanks to STEEMIT, not very active there)!
I will send an encrypted message!
Anyway nice to see you flag again! I see @ahmanik didn't let you forget how to flag!

Cheers~

hi guru , are you from asia ?

I'm @mysearchisover. I do a daily blog post about random and hopefully insightful stuff.

what were you searching for ?

I own mysearchisover.com

I think its time to know what were you searching for.

I own mysearchisover.com

But what were you searching for?

I am @jwolf. I like respecting rules but if others are not doing the same I am getting angry.

I do random posts based on my mood. I am not wasting my time for long articles, only around 10 people will read em

I like rules too...my rules...everyone needs to follow them ..

also I don't believe in rules for myself

also When Moon?

also Lambo Lambo Lambo

also nice to meet you , what made you angry ?

I see. Interesting.

Also, when lambo?

Yeah mood sometimes can influence the way the contents turns out, I relate lol. 😁😁 following you

I am always in happy mood after few drinks...also I drink a lot... is that a bad thing if it makes me happy all the times ?

I am only asking you since I can't afford to go to a therapist.

This sounds like my life a few years back

What did you do to turn it around?

I'm emwalker. I also go by "DudeWhoDoesDopeShit" - I'm filmmaker / writer and amateur photographer. As my name suggests I make some of the dopest shit on the steem blockchain...... Sometimes..... Other times I shitpost...... But to be honest - even those are good. Stop by my blog & check out some dope shit.

Followed, nice to meet you @emwalker. I enjoy film/photo/drone stuff, look forward to seeing more!

Well, I'm niall from ireland. Been on here for a while now but only really getting properly active now. I've posted content across a lot of topics over the time as I enjoy a bit of everything.

Since I don't have the tech knowledge a lot of people do on here I like to find new and interesting posts as I am always trying to learn more and do more. My main passion was always for writing so I don't mind what the topic is I just like to go with it. My other passion is hurling which is an Irish sport you will never have heard off so I don't expect to see too many posts about it on here. Give a shout if you have anything to chat about.

Hmm, I will have to google Hurling.

It's the fastest field sport in the world. This clip here doesn't go into the rules but has a few exciting highlights from a good season. Worth a look.

Hi there @whatsup!

I am @dedicatedguy, as my bio says, I usually write about technology, science, other crypto projects and philosophy.

Hello, I will check it out.

Nice idea! I always try to find interesting users through the #introduceyourself tag... but often there is too much abuse :-(

I'm Steemitri The Mannequin... yep... I'm a mannequin, and I don't work in a store anymore.
Now I'm a mannequin-influencer-blogger, the only and unique in the whole planet.

My blog is about my life as a mannequin, about bananas... I like to interact... I organize special and funny contests... and I'm waiting for your postcards, for Steemitri's Wall.

Hi everyone, @ammonite here. I've been on Steem for over a year now and am really enjoying the sense of community and tools being created to make this a great platform for content creators, all we need now is an engaged audience.

I have chosen to use the blockchain as a way to document my 20+ years as an ephemeral artist, among other thing. This will hopefully give my sculptures a place to live on long after they are gone.

I write posts talking about the sculptures and the stories that surround them. Hopefully some of you will join me and we can put the social back in this social media platform.

Thanks to @whatsup for this opportunity to get more eyes and our work.
