"We Don't Follow Steem To The Moon; We Take Steem To The Moon". Let's Discuss Steemit Promotion. "It Gets Much Easier!"

in #steemit7 years ago

This has ever been my idea of steem:

We don't follow steem to the moon. We take steem to the moon.

And if you look closely, it is on this very model that steem will end up thriving. 

Everyone, even a redfish has a stake and each one is incentivized to grow this stake by incessantly "mining with minds", while maintaining good behavior.

You are started up on steem to some delegated steem power (at the very least), starting you up to ownership of steem. I think that establishing this sole knowledge from the outset, will instantly spur you on to steemit success because your mindset starts out all different (this sole knowledge almost instantly sets you apart and gives you an edge because this sole knowledge, many steemians spend ages to identify and establish in their minds)

We take steem to the moon!

Yes, establishing the above solidly in your steemit/steem-knowledge-base and no longer will you spend too much steam, actively/passionately seeking out things that are wrong with steemit/steem or possible reasons why it will fail or endlessly question whether it will end up succeeding etc

For you will land (on steem/steemit) and build-base! You will not just perch on it.


Yes, many content-sharing blockchain-based platforms may pop up, that look to offer more balance in terms of reward distribution etc but how will they compare to the "steem-blockchain" also, when it comes to security, capacity, speed, fees and ease-of-use? 

Speaking of ease-of-use, you don't have to download an entire blockchain to access steem!

And can any content-creation platform out there, beat steemit/steem in the aspect of "a reputable community of great minds"

Except they try copy steemit/steem! (Steemit is the first of its kind (that works) on blockchain)
Not a soul can today, can be fully said to be a better break-dancer than Michael Jackson.

Okay, there has been Akasha, Synereo etc trying to pop up but are they on a blockchain better than steem

Open this in new tab

Don't Keep Stressing

While others who understand fully that they are co-owners of steem are incessantly looking for reputable ways to shoot steem to the moon, we lose steam even steem, indecisive on whether to perch or land.

Without landing, you can't be really effective towards your steemit success, for there will always be "but(s)". 

And while you spend ages hoping that whales will come around and visit and ages getting deterred when they don't visit, how about spending that time building your own whale? How about remembering this:

You are whale to me!

For Why Should Steem Fail, When You Are (Really-Fully) Here?

It so shouldn't! It so wouldn't

For while you tire out a bit, to go into-the-box to regain energy, rest assured, someone is coming out-of-the-box, at that very moment to create awesomeness. 

The whole model of steem revolves just around that.

The more people there are realizing that "we take steem to the moon", the more it is less likely to fail.

I Am Not A Coder/Developer/Programmer?

Hahaha, this is just one way of the ton of ways out there, to take your portion of steem to the moon. Its an ecosystem and to me, every role is equal; you know why? 

Cos there is no real ways to measure value or effort.

So who says a developer/programmer etc does a better job than you in taking steem to the moon? Who says, your simple blogs about "life" etc has not triggered action in the search engines and brought thousands to steemit today or potential thousands next-next tomorrow?

When i started Untalented for instance, i had steemit growth very much in mind as well. I wanted people to share these untalented posts to their social media accounts as well, to spur steemit growth even to those downtrodden or lowly-at-heart; to revert even the spammers and give them newer use as innovators and content-creators, but did i have any real measure of my impact, until one person left a comment, saying that #untalented changed his life and because of it 15 or so of his friends have joined steemit?

Plain No

We all play a role in this ecosystem and minnow or whale; is negligible. What counts is:

that tiny thing that you do


"The High Road"

In reality, this the road that successful people take. 

While you argue about whether those who trend, are suppose to trend; those who trend; trend!

See, Dan who created steem, is currently busy on EOS. Hahaha, Ned who created steemit, is evolving into Smart Media Tokens

There is nothing you can't build on steem and if steem/steemit has issues, spend more steam/steem conceiving of ways to fix it or your portion of it and let it be fun and let it be because your sole aim is to take your portion of steem to the moon.

Not because you want to win people's attention or impress people, for impressing yourself has more far-reaching satisfying impact and is more testimonial!
You are whale to me

Promoting steem/steemit in reality is our role. Why?

  • Because it is your steem
  • There is no doubt about steem/steemit's potential in impacting lives positively
  • Because "steem to the moon", benefits you too
  • Because the more reputable great minds in incessant mind-mining on steem, the more steem won't fail.
  • Because if the numbers grow, you can run entire real-world businesses or enterprises on steem/steemit
  • Because it is a way of giving
  • Because it is a way of educating
  • Because you want an audience
  • Because you want a movement
  • Because you want a team
  • etc

Whether you promote steemit, @utopian-io, @busy.org, @dmania, @steepshot, @dtube, @chainbb, @esteem @chainbb @zappl @dsound @steemgigs etc or you build your own app, solely to promote it while building your empire, you are taking steem to the moon.

Promoting Steem is not as hard as you think!

Simply pick your audience and tell them of the exact app for their needs or build an app solely for their needs and promote that app. 

Here are many apps on Steem that you can use organically:

  • Steemgigs (coming soonest): Offer a service in 
  • Dmania: if your friend likes imgur or 9gag
  • Zappl: if your friend loves tweets
  • Dsound: if your friend loves soundclound, itunes etc
  • Dtube: If you friend relishes earning from vlogs
  • Chainbb: If your friend likes forums
  • Busy: if your friend is always on Facebook
  • Utopian: if your friend is an innovator
  • Steepshot: if you friend likes looking at photos, images or loves selfies and groupies
  • etc


And A Little Improvisation

And if it is a game that may appeal to your friends and family, there are games e.g there is a recent simple game by @netuoso and alot of other games in the making, by @sirlunchthehost etc

or you can tell your friend who is a game developer to come continue building his game on steem or tell your friend who has been looking for funds to develop his open-source game, to come sync his game (github) with Utopian and get possible support from the steemit community funding-wise etc

Now if your friends are all freelancers etc, tell them https:steemgigs.org is getting ready and if they want to beat-box or create music, simply tell them of dsound or of a growing beat-boxing community being spearheaded by @jaderpogi

And just if there is no app to fit their needs, you can invite them solely to participate in contests and steemit has a ton of them daily. Simply pick one such post from https://steemit.com/created/contests

If they are fans of 9gag or Imgur, simply pick up Dmania and show that to them.

The process there upon is seamless. They will be redirected to sign-up on steemit same as they would on Facebook etc; The only slight difference is, you will need to remind them to backup their password. Overtime, interfaces on steem may start to have direct sign-ups; by-passing steemit altogether as will be the case with @utopian-io soon. 

Overall, some time next year, by means of Hardfork 20, steemit sign-ups will be faster but the awareness we do even now, instead of waiting till then, can work then.

I didn't join steemit, the first time i learned about steemit. I eventually joined by means of an organic blog that i found in the search engine, that had attempted to answer my then question and whose author i connected with!

Why bring your own community or friends & family?

"Steem to the moon" aside; you will have your own like-minded people from the get-go to spark your fire and you do need fire. 

In today's world, in any endeavor, you do need fire and if you need fire, you need a spark!

"You and your own community" and it gets much easier to gradually take your portion of steem to the moon at least. 

But I don't Have Steem Power

Hahaha, do you really really think steem power is stronger than will power or people power (community power)? 

People who you invite to steemit, should want to join steemit also because of the person of you and what you represent; minnow or whale.

So let your substance grow and shine!

If you promote steemit and do posts about it and get rewarded for it, it is more that steemians are encouraging the act. It is not because you are doing better than others or cos it is our right or because we have to be rewarded for putting effort to promote steemit.

Hahaha, it is your steem too and if it is, promoting it should be a fun thing to do!
Plus, a ton of people promote steemit behind-the-scenes.
Even the simple "thank you" comment plays its role in promoting steem.

In this post, i will like you to tell me what current endeavors you are doing towards telling "steemit or steem-apps" to others. This can also include updates about your own evolution as a steemian because according to me, a very solid way of promoting steem is in your own "steemit evolution".

To be effective in drawing people up the ladder, you have to have climbed the ladder first!
Infact, as your steemit effect starts to appreciate, people will join steemit as a result of you, without you asking.

So, how has your steemit journey been, how has your conviction about steemit been, have you done some steemit promotion's lately etc Let's discuss!

I like to carry my steemit gift-cards around and give them out to as many people as i get the chance to meet and much more including simple shareable posts (to inspire) like this!


If you want to print them out too and do edits, all good:

What an excellent post Terry!
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is responsible for the growth of steemit.
We have to bring more people to the platform, steem is just not popular enough.
I am 100% sure, there are millions of people out there, who would directly join steemit on love the platform.
I can talk for myself: If I didn't get to know steemit by accident I wouldn't be here because nobody of my circle of friends knew from this opportunity right here.
I am on steemit for over a month now and I don't really use Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram that much anymore.
I hope I would have heard of steemit earlier..

And because I know that many people out there think the same, I told my family, friends and other contacts about steemit and they love it.
a few of them already signed in and more will follow.

Also people on Facebook texted me and asked about steemit, because I publish my content On Facebook too.
People love it, if they know it. So do your best to make to make steemit more popular guys!

Steemit is growing and growing and there are already very much projects currently on steemit and there are more to come.
I'm looking forward to do my own project right here in the future but until that, I try to give the platform more value by creating good content and also rewarding good content by others.
I hope you guys do the same and don't upvote just any shit but rather make differences between high quality and spam/bad posts.

By the way Terry, you are doing a very good job on here. I just voted for you for witness and I recommend everyone else to do the same.
Keep up the work! :)

I am 100% sure, there are millions of people out there, who would directly join steemit on love the platform.

You are very right my friend. Even when I think Steemit is already fairly know...guess what? I am very wrong! I just finished a webinar to some 125 people now. Bad before my lecture got under way, I asked if there was anyone who know about steem. The answer was, a 'no' in a group of 125 people despite all the awareness that's ongoing in Nigeria today.

I was startled. I have resolved to give steemit promotion some 80 % of my time next year.

@surpassinggoogle taught me to see myself as a stake holder in steem holdings. And since then, I have never looked back in my promotion of Steemit at every slightest opportunity.

All hands most be on deck to realize globalization of steem blockchain. We will achieve this... I have no doubt we will.

Thanks

@eurogee

@eurogee
We are all stake holders
I will follow suit next year giving most of my time to promote steemit

Pure awesomeness. This is practically world change (adjustment), so it is win-win and for you, down the road, it will create awesomeness for you. No loss

That’s funny. I also met Steemit by accident via a Skillshare class i was watching.

I keep telling everybody about Steemit and now that I am writing my travel blog on Steemit, instead of starting an own blog, I hope that some of my friends and family will come and join the big Steemit family. I also talk about Steemit with the people I meet on my journey. I even have business cards with my Steemit address.
I also startet one or to Pinterest boards for Steemit Tipps and tricks and my own Steemit posts.

One handicap is that if you come over to Steemit without having known it before, it somehow doesn’t look trustworthy enough and a little bit chaotic.
Which just brings me to the idea, that I could create a footer telling more about me for every post, making it look more like a personal blog somebody would trust...
Anyway, I for my part do the promotion work...

So much awesomeness. Thank you for all the effort you put in and enthusiasm. Down the road, it will all create so much more awesomeness. Keep it up. If you are stuck, visit!

Awesomeness.
I saw your act of awesomeness in my wallet and what can i say, it's here again. Keep on awesome.
Thank you very much

Dear @surpassinggoogle,

Great post you got there.

I am a new member of STEEMIT. I heard about this from a friend and we tried signing up, but we both do not know how to efficiently post topics/blogs. We would greatly and gratefully appreciate some help. May somebody generously spend time by giving me instructions about few basics of @STEEMIT? I already know about inserting images, formatting texts like BOLD and ITALIC. I do not know other than that. I already made some posts but seems like inefficient.

On that note, I would like to humbly ask for an assistance on STEEMIT. I can see that you've been efficiently posting some topics. A generous help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance and God bless!

Truly yours,

@alwintejedor

I will try visit. I am usually so much productive and fast but my mum just died and i am slow but i will get to your blog. In the meantime, you and your friend, join the discord underneath my post here. Then look for or mention @artaddict in the general chat. you can also mention @steemitph @samic @ewuoso, they will help you in the chats there. I am also reachable but this period i may delay a bit. Welcome on steemit. Drop me a link to your post and perhaps your friend, lemme visit

there is no one that is not inspired by your post and work on this platform. You are just a great guy. Check out my other comments as you move on. Thank you for been here. Compliment of the season

Of course I will, I definitely have goals on here!
See you soon buddy!

Pure awesomeness. This is practically world change (adjustment), so it is win-win and for you, down the road, it will create awesomeness for you. No loss

Its an ecosystem and to me, every role is equal; you know why?

This reminds me of the acronym "WAHOR" which the Ron Paul supporters frequently used: "We All Have Our Roles". I really like it.

In my previous software career (ended, hopefully temporarily, by concussions), I tended to play a "support" role, helping to build a solid infrastructure so that the "rock star developers" could build a much better structure.

They were the rock stars. But if they built their castle on a swamp, it'd be more likely to burn down, fall over, and then sink into the swamp... :)

My role was essential for their success. Or like we said at a company I worked at which went public, "An overnight success! -- ten years in the making." :)

No doubt. Same applies here. One may get to carried away and feel he is doing more than others etc and others may get discourage by the small they feel the offer. In reality, there is no true measure of it and here on steemit. Most people use steemit.com and sometimes post payout as a measure of it but it isn't and can't be sufficient as a true measure so to be every role is equal, even a simple "thank you" goes a long way and depending on its timeliness can be all that's needed to fix someone. Long time. My mum died in the last few weeks, so i have been struggling. I spent her last 16 days with her and before that had not seen her for close to 5 years

I think the best is to just do your own thing whether you are talented or #untalented, you will always pass message. Like someone said even in a non-sense there is sense. And i truly agree with that. Just do your best and leave the rest.
@surpassinggoogle please be careful with your use of word. Quoting you:
"My mum died in the last few weeks, so i have been struggling"

You will not struggle in Jehovah's name. Remember it is what you call it that it will be. You have the power to do that. The Lord is your strength. I understand you but you still have to remain positive.. One love bro.

Okay. I am getting better. I will rise up. Did the gym yesterday to get my energy levels up today but i skipped today cos of soreness.

Thank God for that. At least those exercise will help you to rest your mind and think clearly. Thanks for responding back. You are blessed.

Yes, of course
That would be great
@surpassinggoogle

So sorry to hear about your mom. Mine's still with me and I treasure her presence, even if I often appear to be irritated in her direction, due to these concussion symptoms.

I agree, there are few "measures" in life that truly demonstrate one's worth. I think gifting is one of them, but then, crowing about one's gifts tends to denigrate them.

A few days ago, I read about a society which values their people based on how much they give away. Which is really neat, as I had an idea for a coin with those characteristics a few weeks ago: rather than "proof of work" or "proof of stake", it'd be "proof of spend".

I searched for it when I had the idea, and came across only one other person asking about it, in a forum post with no comments. So, the idea has been thought of before, but doesn't seem like it had been developed.

One downside I can see to it is: someone creates two accounts, and moves a set of coins back-and-forth. Two ways to handle that, technically: the "proof-of-spend" would have time periods, so the rewards are for the coins one spent during a certain period of time. It could track the coins, and detect whether they're "circling" during that time interval -- and, if so, those coins would only account for one "spend", not all of the ones that happened.

Another way would be to have the fees higher, but that then presents downsides to adoption of the coin in general, so I'd rather not do that. Perhaps two coins could be created, similar to STEEM and SBD? One would be monitored for spending, and the other would be the reward. And, thinking while typing, I suppose the reward could be in BTC. But then it would require some backing, so perhaps two new coins would be better. Or just one coin. Anyway...

It's good that you got to spend time with her. Way back in college, I had two relatives pass, a couple years apart. I overslept for the Saturday morning bus when my grandmother was failing, and thought to myself, "I can go next weekend" -- and she passed during the week. I was heart-broken, thinking I had failed her. My uncle later was dying of cancer, and I made the effort to make the trip. He was strapped to the bed, writhing in pain, no intelligence behind those eyes. It was very sad and traumatic. There's no good way to lose someone.

Just said a prayer for you.

After going through all of the comments,and especially yours, I felt like I am listening to my friends and family, but the reality is I have not talked to or met anybody who had a comment on this post. This is the power of steemit.

You got a 0.54% upvote from @postpromoter courtesy of @hackedlife!

I found Steemit by accident, I was looking for information on YouTube, when I found a video of a Venezuelan guy who was talking about Steemit. Now I am so happy to have come here, and to have found you @surpassinggoogle. You are very inspiring and I admire you lots, besides I am infinitely grateful to you. You are here in a special place in my heart. As for the promotion, I have managed to bring some members of my family and a couple of friends to steemit, of course the work continues. All of them have chosen you as a witness, you are the witness of the loving family.

Hahaha thank you very much. I won't lie, i smiled. I smiled! Thank you. You are so in my heart

hello @surpassinggoogle
I've been waiting for this posts for days now
You did meet my expectation
when steemit grows we grow
I've been promoting steemit offline since i join steemit in August
I was even nicknamed steemit propeller.
The failure of steemit is our failure, the success of steemit is our success.
I've always wanted a place to air my voice and gradually i'm being heard.
I've always wanted to touch lives and currently i'm already touching lives.
The recent cashout from steemit by some newbies i introduces really brought some testimonies.
To an extend i feel fulfill, seeing school fees being paid from cashout and people getting new gadget or capital to startup businesses offline has really fuel my passion to do more.
I wanna reach out to more, I want to save that next soul who is alreadying losing hope and giving up in life, I want to tap into that shallow mind and see the creativity from the crust.
All our social media profile should be branded steemit
Everyone around up should be heard about it until they give it a go.

I'm @samiwhyte
Prromoter of steemit
Building a better society through steemit blockchain.

I am telling you, there will be a ton more testimonies

Yeah
Mind blowing testimonies
The best is yet to come

Just today I discussed Steemit to my cousin and he sign up right away! He is interested in crypto and started to trade and I told them I've got steem, bitcoin, etherium, litecoin, ark, qtum, btg and he can't believe it. He asked how I get bitcoins. I told them from steemit and share how easily they can be in community posting, make money and trade. And they were excited, he is Starbucks Manager! Team starbucks soon! 😄 I am so excited for him.

FB_IMG_1513206593479.jpg

And another cousin of mine just sign up today too! He is from Boracay. And I am looking forward for him to showcase the beauty of Philippines Islands and beaches!

YEHEY!

Hahahah awesomeness. You are awesome. I feel it everytime you talk. Please show me their intro post, DMs or here, so i can encourage them

Oh Terry love, Im always overwhelmed by your never ending support. Thank you so much.

And here he just made his intro!

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@davinsh/introducing-me-and-what-i-do-but-a-master-of-none

Hi @surpassinggoogle. How are you feeling now? I can see all is going on fine. now just quoting you:
"Yes, many content-sharing blockchain-based platforms may pop up, that look to offer more balance in terms of reward distribution etc but how will they compare to the "steem-blockchain" also, when it comes to security, capacity, speed, fees and ease-of-use?

Speaking of ease-of-use, you don't have to download an entire blockchain to access steem!
And can any content-creation platform out there, beat steemit/steem in the aspect of "a reputable community of great minds"?

Except they try copy steemit/steem! (Steemit is the first of its kind (that works) on blockchain)
Not a soul can today, can be fully said to be a better break-dancer than Michael Jackson.
Okay, there has been Akasha, Synereo etc trying to pop up but are they on a blockchain better than steem? ?

NOW MY COMMENT
I like the question you ask about " how can any content- creation platform out there beat steemit/steemit....?" I dont think they can only if they will have to copy the platform. But even if they try to copy steemit/steem like the motto of 7UP ( the difference will be clear). You can try to be like someone but can you actually be like that person? Just like someone trying to be like you.......(laughing). Though the person will try but you can only be. When i see people put things on facebook now, really i feel sorry for them especially when its something that is intellectual in nature. I feel I wish this can put this on steemit/steem.
What is happening on this blockchain is really mind blowing because you just find out the world is filled with great mind.
Steemit/steem has created a reputation for itself and it will take time before any other platform ca beat it. Just facebook when it came.
Now the good thing about steemit is that their is room for constant improvement and upgrade. Thanks to all kinds of project like #steemgig, #untalented, #utopia-oi, #busy etc. Just to mentioned few. THE MOON SHOULD BE READY FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE COMING WITH FULL FORCE.

Nice hearing from you Terry Boy.

I am still owing your awesome comments on my previous post but i will get to them. I am slower these days cos of energy levels and mood but i will be there. The beauty of steemit is the blockchain it is on. the capacitiy of this blockchain and its speed, its feelessness etc is where no other copy can beat it. Anther thing is ease of use. For many of these other upcoming social interfaces, they may have good proposal but i tell you, just to get on them for the several i have seen, you ill have to download an entire blockchain and gosh this is a hassle, slows your PC and sucks out all your internet and pc resources cos of this too, there is no google ranking which is steemit's secret weapon. Soon there will be a steemit post answering any topic or question organically in the search engines and this is the height of genuis and where steemit is just bound to go mainstream. if you have been on the internet for long, you will understand better, till date insurance companies still pay 50 dollars per click for ads that may not bring a customer. just a click and they lose 50 dollars. and their sole aim is to appear on the first page of google. A simple steemit blog can accomplish this without much effort. this is the aspect of a steemit blog that many miss out on as the goald becomes to please just the steemit audience and get blinded to other facets of steemit beauty. There are ton of things i can say but i will stop, so we can go. Let's go

And I am ready to join you as we move with out steem to the moon. Thank you for your response. Even your simple response is interesting and inspiring. Thank you Boy Terry.

I do agree with everything you've said and I think you've done a great job nailing it down like this. Well done!

That being said, I'm a firm believer in Steem and Steemit, but I also believe that we must take care of our own, before anything else.

This is from one of my previous articles for insance:

If we want mass adoption, we also have to educate and motivate the newcomers. Even those who're struggling to understand how Steemit works. One cannot teach these people with in-depth analytics or numbers. We need to educate and teach them with the use of guides, tutorials and answers even a kid can understand. With or without cryptocurrency experience or knowledge. From wealth or poverty. With English as their mother tongue or not...

And that's what I've been trying to do. However, I also talk with people about Steemit. I ask people if they've heard about it and things like that, because I truly want more people to join... - But I want to make sure that those we already have onboard, will continue to stay.

Hahaha yes. That is at the core of my post as well. Bring your own community and i spoke of your portion of steem. i was touching there on catering to your community and not inviting people solely cos your imitating others or trying to attract votes etc. i also spoke of building a whale but on steemit i am very technical when dispensing info so that info attains in intending purpose to upbuild and inspire. You know it is a community and you have been here for long and you know how community works. For the new ones staying, i work on that lot in the DMs. Thank you for an awesome comment. You method is where true success lies.

Thank you for a wonderful reply! - A good start on a new day. :)

I wish you awesomeness today and on and on and on

I've been having great days since the day before yesterday. Better days than the normal average so to speak and hopefully it will continue in the same direction.

There are still many difficulties and obstacles I have to encounter, but these two last days have given me more hope and power compared to before, so I'm ready to fight!

Thanks for your wonderful wishes. I truly appreciate it. :)

I've always wondered if there's ever anyone interested with what we have been writing. They're mostly about family, my kids and our life experiences. But you said it yourself;

Who says, your simple blogs about "life" etc has not triggered action in the search engines and brought thousands to steemit today or potential thousands next-next tomorrow?

When we got introuduced to Steemit, I was hesitant at first because it felt like I have to be a knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and stuff. Then we wrote our first post, and it was just a simple idea about us. We got upvotes for it. I never knew sharing something about your life gets you something. I should have shared more with steemit than facebook or Twitter or wherever. This platform has made us feel appreciated. Thank you, @surpassinggoogle for all your kind words.

Yes, you are awesome and i tell you the awesomest version of yourself is a gift to humanity everytime. I created #untalented and i am very much illiterate and all the words here are me, "no books" involved and it is awesome, sweet, real. So keep it up and keep on awesome. You can always visit with me, when you need strength, direction or advice

I appreciate it so much!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I lost mine 6 years ago. I'm still struggling with her loss but it gets better everyday. I am sure that wherever your mother is now, she must be really proud of you because you have been an inspiration to many!

Thank you for highlighting that she would be proud. May Jehovah heal us all in Jesus' name amen

Oh Terry, I love your posts so much, they always uplift me right at the perfect moment :) I just wrote a comment to someone that had a very similar message to this post, they were concerned about this and that and negative aspects and wanting people to change, but I told them you can't change anyone, you can only BE the change and if it is positive, practical, uplifting and touches people, then that's how you can affect others to change.
I wish the platform was full of people like you, but you have the energy and presence of twenty people. And I will resteem this post so that others can be affected by you, who is always Being the change he wants to see!

Yeah man
We can only be the change
@surpassinggoogle is a real figure i know soon bro Terry will surpass google

Well I'm 'sis' not bro, lol, but Terry is definitely the man! ;)

Aww dreemit, what can i say, you are full of so much love, it is so touching and sweet that i get speechless. You know i look at steemit and it has life and all its lessons in it and reminds me of humans and how much so the same we are. It is like a mirror and thoguh people don't know it, they are so displayed and its there, with all the eliteness, they are still too much human with all the flaws and it is so obvious even when they feel they can determine other people's value. No one has unforgivable crimes here because everyone so has flaws. Steemit is like cctv for me and its fun to see and a very learning experience. I am slow in my energy level this period, so i am not fast to reach all the comment. I love you and especially now with you and your dad. It is tough. I have notice about these cancer issues, that its the infection part that is even the more harmful part. my mum's was not noticed till it was too late because we didnt have knowledge and not even the doctors in these developing nations. they just keep focusing on the anemia but the infection was the problem like the pneumonia in this case and my mum wasnt showing symptoms, mostly weakness. I am glad they spotted that for your dad in the meantime and that they are working on it. If i came to USA, i will tell you my story more fully. it breaks that heart. In posts, it can't be fully expressed because the tears will be missing

I hope so much that you will one day come here! I will make sure you have the grandest of all vacations, and you would meet so many people who are full of love like you, so many hugs would come your way! And you and I would have tears together too. xxxooo to the moon!

Very inspiring...
I have been promoting steemit passively without know and I just realized that.And I think it is because in back of my mind I know that I own steemit or at least apart of it.
In every gathering I bolster steemit, I have been talking about steemit to my colleagues in office and to my friends...
I guess I my self am becoming steemit.

Hello @xabi, nice that you are promoting steemit to people around you.
I will like you to join the group of promoter on steemit discord.
Link: https://discord.gg/WyAqgZ

I will be glad to see you there.
Thanks.

@seyiodus.

yeah sure why not

Hahaha so touching funny xabi but i tell you that is how it works. One has to feel these things, else we won't be as effective and this goes for things in general. Jumping steps aren't as effective

Yes you are right.. So I am taking practical steps now, like inviting my friend on tea to promote steemit and designing steem logo shirts to distribute among fellows.
