RE: Are The People With Whom You Began Your Journey On Steemit Still Around?
Most of the people I have boarded on steemit has left except a few. A few includes @itravelarts, I really like her blog and I am very proud of her. Most of them came here for the sole purpose of earning money, and never focused on creating quality content. That was one of the main reason for their leaving.
Today itself, I told my friend about steemit and he was excited to get started. But thanks to steemit’s slow sign up process, he didn’t able to receive the OTP. He was very disappointed after that. I don’t know what impression does that leave on his mind of steemit.
Thank you @vinayakgupta for mentioning me here and also motivating me to keep going, it would have been a difficult journey without your support..
@firepower -it's been just 2 months, and honestly I joined steemit only because of monetary gains and had my doubts in the first month, but during this time have met some real gems and talented people and now I ain't even thinking of money, just enjoying my journey here, and I can see myself growing in terms of knowledge and as a person. I haven't learnt this much (on so many different topics) in all my life than I did in just two months.love this community. Thank you for reminding me why I here.😍

It's good to see your response. Out of the hundreds of people I've helped on this platform, many established themselves quite well but many were obviously here just to make money and had nothing interesting to contribute and didn't feel the need to stay invested. In the recent bear run I saw many power down and simply leave and that did piss me off quite a lot. As an investor who understands and believes in the underlying technology and how it can impact people positively over a longer period of time, the short-sightedness of several people quite frankly put me off. Nonetheless, that's all part of the journey as a user myself and same for everyone else. I continue to support people whenever and wherever possible. These are the best times to earn tokens as the price is really low. When price goes up (which everyone including myself is waiting for) it'll continue benefitting everyone. Stick around if you can. :)
That's quite the same situation here. I've onboarded tons of people and many stayed, invested, some made quick bucks and left sadly. However, it's been a great learning curve for sure and has taught me a lot of things as well.
As far as account creation goes it will be cheaper/faster to create accounts in the near future until then maybe you can get him one using Steemconnect with 6 steem or so. Maybe he could pay you for creating an account for him.
I have figured out something. Now when I on board new users on steemit, I simply tell him to forget about money for the min. of 6 months. I cut all their expectations about money making for the initial period so that they don’t leave and tell them to engage with the community and make connections.
One of my friend @nishal, has recently joined and she literally forgot about the money part, she is posting regularly and doing well.
What I think is posting and engaging with the community regularly has proven to be the success mantra on steemit. Money will follow when you grow with people.
That’s right! I will ask him to make a paid account. He was so interested that he was ready to pay me ₹500 to create the account but I insisted to make the free one. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll make a paid one for him.
Thanks and good luck!
Yeah. Infact I left a comment on her blog yesterday asking her to redeem the rewards. You should tell her how the wallet page works now that she's earned some STEEM.
