My Coffee Story!
Four years ago before I started my rise as a Crypto Currency influencer I was 100% focused on social media and building my brand. @AnaHilarski and I spent a good deal of time at coffee shops. This means that I used to share a ton images pertaining to coffee.
One day I received a message from the owner of Climpson & Sons in London. They are one of the worlds premiere coffee roasters. He asked my if he could send me some coffee in return for some blog posts and a few social media posts. I said sure and forgot about it.
The Package from Climpson & Sons Arrived and Boy Was I in for a Surprise.
The package included 9 different roasts from all across the world. The total value was over $250 so I was pretty impressed. Ana and I were in coffee heaven! My favorite was the roast from Guatemala. I also really enjoyed the coffee roasts from East Africa including Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya.
I wrote a few blog posts and shared images all across social media. Thank you Climpson & Sons for the delicious coffee!
Companies Need Your Help.
I took this approach and applied it to Crypto Currencies. The market is flooded and it is quite difficult for brands to be seen. Yesterday Facebook announced that Crypto companies can no longer advertise on the platform. This means that companies will have to use Influencers more than ever before. This is great news if you are an influencer!
What is not good for one side is better for this other side.
Broadcast your interest and spread good vibe.
Keep on steemin'

I think drinking coffee is a personal expression
People who drink coffee are often more active and energetic than other people
thanks @hilarski

That would be the caffeine :D I can not get started before I had my morning coffee. Right now I am rocking Cafe Punto De Cielo, a Mexican brand, very good!

@hilarski,
What do you think about TEA? My country is most famous for TEA! Anyway this is a nice experience! I could imagine how much you surprised with this gift!
Cheers~

I think the great thing about tea is that there's just as much (if not more) variety as with coffee, and so many different methods in which to enjoy it. White, green, yellow, black oolong/wulong, puerh, purple, and even fermented varieties like kombucha, water kefir and more. Cold brewed or enjoyed hot with dozens of different steeping methods, there's something for everyone.
I also find tea less intimidating when it comes to getting great tasting results than coffee. A bad grind can give you beans that don't work great with certain methods due to overextraction. Water that's too hot can create bitterness (similar with tea, but more notable, I think).
If you enjoy coffee, tea is a fantastic next step. There will definitely be something you like.

Great stuff as always @hilarski ! I used to be a coffee lover/adict until one "beautiful" day no longer tolerated caffeine and it started to feel quite bad ... Now only caffeine free coffee, which some of them are pretty good. About your influencer idea, it is a very inspiring story for me... Im after doing a similar thing with some wine producers here in Spain... Let's see how it works...wish me luck mate! :P un fuerte abrazo para ti y para Ana amigo! ;)

Excellent. It sure pays to be an influencer. I wish i were one. Its pros are that you can almost always expect an increase in traffic and social media interaction, purely due to the social media following that these influencers have, However the main con is that often this alone isn’t enough to warrant the price that some influencers will charge. That facebook ban on crypto ads is something else. Sounds like they’re planning on launching their own crypto asset and don’t want to deal with competing products based on Mark Zuckerberg’s previous post on the subject:
"There are important counter-trends to this -like encryption and cryptocurrency - that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people’s hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I’m interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services."

Wow. That is a very neat surprise. I love coffee but I am pretty strict to how my coffee should taste like.
I really appreciate the tip how we could be the influencers for all kinds of companies, I have never even though of that and I think that was really cool for Climpson & Sons to ask you to write some blogs in return of some of their coffee. Really cool.
But how did they know you write blogs on social media?
