I just landed back in my old hometown some hours ago for the holidays, fully recovered from my illness. There are obviously a lot of things to be getting done while I am in town, but I also got to thinking about another opportunity.
Steemit is in a great growing stage right now, and many other steemians have been starting all sorts of efforts to encourage more people to join our community.
Many of these efforts focus on trying to get big name or well known personalities to join. I think that these are excellent initiatives and that such people could certainly be used to draw many others to steemit.
However, most of us do not know many famous people, and to them, we are nobodies. The results of our efforts in such appeals may not be very promising, but that doesn't mean that we have no role to play. We all know many talented individuals, though they may just be other nobodies.
In fact, when @papa-pepper joined steemit, no one had ever heard of me, and I was a nobody. Yet, steemit gave me a chance, and now I am growing rapidly and making a lot of friends in the process. Recently, I just crept over the 70 reputation line and officially made it all the way up to a 71!!!
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THAT!!!!
Anyway, steemit has been good to me, and I'm not afraid to share that truth. I am back in my hometown and I know many musicians, photographers, artists, writers, and just plain interesting people here. I plan on encouraging some of these unheard of nobodies to come and see what we have been up to.
Like me, many of us will be encountering a lot of people that we already know who we don't see often this Holiday Season. There are of course more important things than steemit that we can talk about, but we all seem to talk about a wide range of subjects.
Why not bring up steemit with some talented and interesting family members and friends?
I just spent more than half the day driving about 750 miles, and it's time for some sleep, but I wanted to put this idea out there before I turned in for the night!
Steem on while I dream on!

I just joined because I heard about it on a podcast. I definitely think the word is getting out! I'm still learning the ropes, but hope to post soon :).

I am in medical school with them in Indiana. Not sure if they will show up but we talked about Steem for probably 30 minutes. I told them the idea was revolutionary haha, which it is.

You planted the seed and exposed them to the idea.
They know you, so when they are interested, they'll ask for more!

71 Congratulations! I can remember way back when you didn't even have a reputation score. Of course none of us had one back then.

Excellent!
If you (or others) can translate English into another language (French) then all my posts are fair game to be translated and posted under the guidelines published in my Operation Translation post.
Many were very helpful about how to do things on steemit too!
Let me know if I can help @soushi888!

I've said this indirectly and directly in a few articles of mine. We basically have the opportunity to make each other the famous types. Some of my older work is taking off and getting passed around the internet. That makes me feel good. For the most part, it's the drive to want to be more than a "nobody" that put me in this position. We're all somebodies and we should probably open our eyes to that and embrace it.
