Upvotable #8: Parenting, Homesteading, and a Sketch of Me!

in #upvotable7 years ago

Where can we collaborate to make a great reading list each day with different authors? What are the most upvotable posts today? How do we help our most underpaid authors earn their value to us? This 8th upvotable post is the best answer I have today for these questions. I believe the more we help each other earn enough from Steemit to make it a priority, the greater rewards we receive in exchange for our time on Steemit!

My vision for these upvotable posts is to help us all discover the authors we will love to read for years and help new authors on Steemit make a high enough income to make Steemit a priority as we have done for me and thousands of others already.

Would you please join me in reading the posts here because we collaborated on this together at https://steemit.com/curation/@jerrybanfield/upvotable-7-busy-org-eating-vegan-and-poetry with me delaying publication until today because of traveling? If you are interested in sharing your own post or sharing someone else's content with everyone, would you please read the the criteria at the end and post your comment below?

@aarellanes I appreciate you taking the time and effort that you put into creating this list for myself and everyone else to read because without you taking the time to check all the comments and all the posts and write the draft for this and send the SBD this would not be happening.

Would you like to be included in our reading list in our next "Upvotable Post Series" post? If so, would you please submit the posts you think I need to read in the comments below because this is how we make these each day?

  1. Earn 10 SBD as a finder fee paid by me via @aarellanes if you share a post by another author! You are also welcome to submit your own posts but do not earn any finder fee! Use the tag upvotable on any post you would like to submit without making a comment here!
  2. The voting deadline is 7 days from posting meaning that newer posts that are really worth the read with smaller rewards are best because these will help the authors most with our upvotes! Please do not include any "IntroduceYourself" posts because we want to help promote Steemit authors that have already made it past an introduction and are repeatedly taking their time and energy to help us here.
  3. If your post is accepted by the reviewer @aarellanes we will both upvote it 100% and I will also follow you to see your posts in my feed! My upvote is currently worth about $5 to $10 while the upvotes of your fellow readers could easily add up to over $100.
  4. Each day as long as you think this is a worthwhile use of our time, we will keep doing another post like this! I appreciate you encouraging me in the comments to keep doing these! If you want to reach me in the comments, I recommend doing it on my non upvotable posts because Albert goes through the comments on these posts.

Would you please upvote this if you would like to keep reading these each day because the SBD rewards are funded by upvotes on this post?

Love,
Jerry Banfield

You are such a kind genuine person Jerry - It is so nice of you to notice the hard work that others put into their work. I just visited each of the posts you pulled forward and they are all great posts. Kristin, It is so very important that you love your childrens friends ... the trust you build with them goes a long way - you never know what there life is like in there home, who knows, they may need a wonderful person like you to talk with sometimes.

Homesteading is the way to go!!! That Dervaes Family Yard is absolutely amazing - I envy them :) He is right, the Homegrown Revolution video on YouTube is a must see.

Annesaya - Your poem is beautiful - My eyes teared up while reading the words of this peom. You are very very talented - you should be proud of yourself. I followed you because after reading that, I look forward to reading more.

leafhopperfarm I love the idea of the portable pen - great way to keep the soul rotated :) That is a lot of chickens you will be raising - I only hope that someday, I can even have one - In our city, you cannot have them in your yards. Keep up the GREAT work - keep us updated on the chickens progress and if the only black grows to be what you thought it would be.

reyhaynes, I took me a minute to realize that those are cats in the picture, so cute :) I am also a newby but and I also am discouraged when I get none to very few upvotes :( My $1.34 that I have in my steemit wallet is not enough to buy a darn thing - but you know what, I am having so much fun and I am excited each day to see what I can find new on Steemit -I have confidence that you will be a real pro soon.

Aircoin - I am new to Steemit so I cannot comment on what used to be - I only know that I could not agree more with you on posts getting missed - I cannot believe the amount of posts I have missed - I refresh my email and up pops 10 more new ones...GRRRR I missed another one :( I am going to commit to not refreshing until I read the ones I have in front of me :)

Clunky, That is an awesome sketch - looks just like the Jerry we see on his videos - you are quite talented :) I envy you as I always wished I could draw/sketch - I just don't have that talent! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

masteranibal, you hit the nail on the head!!! Time flys when you are having FUN!!! In the line of business that I am in, an hour will fly by like it was only 5 minutes - what, what time is it!!!!! Its kind of like Steemit for me, I start on one task..I never stop the task until I am done..refresh the emails and up pop 10 more work emails...I just finished that file, its back in front of me again because the person I just emailed responded way to quick :) I love your post, efficiency is key.

aarellanes, oh aarellanes..I know just the post he is talking about..those sweet potatoes!!! I upvoted this post as the photo looked incredible..I had not eaten yet :) I follow you and I am happy when I see your posts!!!

Thank you everyone for bringing smiles to my fact - I am commited to doing my best to read all the posts in front of me and not refreshing until I do - every post is AWESOME just like each of you :) I love you all my Steemit Friends - SUNSHINE247

Love the thought you put into your comment and am grateful for the chance to help you double your wallet with this upvote! Thank you for resteeming my Awaken The Giant post!

https://steemit.com/steembnb/@andyluy/steembnb-the-future-is-now

Just wanna tank you once more, If wasn't for your youtube 1 hour Advertising video I wouldn't be here today I truly own you a big one !

Thank you so much for such a long an thought out comment @sunshine247!!! :D

My pleasure Friend!! SUNSHINE247

Great post, @jerrybanfield!
Would you consider having a look at my most recent post? https://steemit.com/life/@fisch/there-and-back-again-my-experience-with-dmt
In it, I share experiences from a journey many are not willing to travel exactly the same way I went about. Though lots of folks will likely enjoy a read about it. It's become a hot topic recently.

jerry hard work is paying out

awesome

Thank you so much for this incredible encouragement. It really caught me by surprise and I am very grateful for your kindness. : )

You're welcome thank you for saying so here in the comments!

Girl, you deserved it -I am glad that Jerry brought your post forward for all of us to read and appreciate - I am just so sorry that it slipped by me in the first place. I love you Steemit Friend..SUNSHINE247

That's so sweet. That really means alot. Thank you

You deserve it - I am so mad that the posts just fly by us all, I am reflecting on this tonight and I have committed to reading every post that shows up when I refresh prior to refreshing again. I get so much from the posts and I know how important it is for the person posting to get the love too. Everyone puts so much into their posts and its annoying that only the top few get any love. I love you my steemit friend!!! SUNSHINE247

Hi @jerrybanfield

I really like this idea and would love to be involved in one of these posts! I have upvoted this post to my max and am looking forward to continuing to learn with you here on Steemit!

Hey @jerrybanfield I have a Steemit tip for you.

I noticed your image at the top of the post was nearly 1mb in filesize, 700kb to be precise. That is way too large for a web page and makes the page load slower.

If you run it through http://tinypng.com you can reduce the file size by losslessly compressing it 70% down to 199kb which is still too large imho as I aim for anything under 100kb but still a big improvement. Also it is 1680px wide which is maybe wide than necessary for Steemit? You could resize down a little potentially also to improve the file size two fold.

This makes a big difference when your post has lots of images! Hope that helps.

Keep up the good work @Jerrybanfield, thank you! If you guys check out my post for feedback I will greatly appreciate it . I have put in a lot of time on it :) https://steemit.com/travel/@generation/plovdiv-europe-s-oldest-inhabited-city-with-8-000-years-of-history

I put over 8 hours of work into this article about VR, AR and MR. Got only 13 views and 4 upvotes... :(

Oh, and I created a little plugin to show your Steemit blog on your website.

I always upvote my mannnn @jerrybanfield, the content is always BEAST!! :)

These posts are vital to growing the community I hope you keep making them! @jerrybanfield please take a moment to look over this post. I spent days creating it. I am trying to not just show my talents but share and teach, but I need support in order to have a reason to continue! give it a look you wont be disappointed!
