EriktheElectric is On Steemit!! Introducing Myself [225k Subscribers ]

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hi everyone! My name is Erik the Electric and I'm a full-time YouTuber

(as of this year woo!) and competitive eater. I just heard about this website from my boy @brianturner who's also a YouTuber and a really good friend of mine. I am still trying to learn about this community but I'm excited to post an intro and start contributing!

It's hard to figure out what to write about when summarizing who you are but I have a few different things that I really enjoy doing. I've been cycling for years and still do, it really makes me feel good and its great for keeping the cardio system working well - I have a strava if you want to see more of that: https://www.strava.com/athletes/702924

I really like lifting, too. Festivity is in full effect!

And of course I've been a competitive eater for years. I've competed in a ton of different competitions, some in real life and some online. One that was really tough this year was doing 48,000 calories in 48 hours, I'll post the video if anyone wants to see that lol

I've been making youtube videos for really long time as well and that's how I met a lot of my really good friends today.
This year I hit 200,000 subscribers and now the channel is at 225k!! It's crazy. This is a picture from the last season of YouTube house which was really fun this year @chelsealifts and @brianturner both on the right

Anyways, I'm trying to get a hang of how things work around here and I think it'll take me a bit but I'm excited to be here. I have a lot of different things that I am into so I'm excited to talk about that! I'm really new to cryptocurrencies and all of this kind of stuff so I'm hoping that I can learn a lot more about that here and just in general as I put more time into it. I am also really excited to post some of my bigger challenges here. I'll see you guys around here, thanks for welcoming me!

Welcome to steemit! This platform will quickly make you forget about all social media ;)

Welcome to the platform! We could use some more fun around here. It looks like you know a lot about that.

Agreed. Uninstalled Facebook a month ago and haven't felt better. No more fake news and constant remarking of ads.

Thanks Hanshotfirst! Hopefully I'll be able to provide that for you!

@eriktgeelectric
What is the name of that food monster?
Did you manage to eat that?
If yes you need to change your name to ericthemadman😂

Awesome to have you here. Really hop you enjoy what we've got going and I can tell you will be an awesome addition to an already awesome community.

How did you end up becoming a full-time youtuber?

Hey There, Brandon! Thanks for welcoming me! I've always loved YouTube. Getting feedback and recognition for creating content has always made me love the platform. When I was able to find out that I could blend my "eating abilities" into content creation I was SOLD! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Great story! I'm looking to starting a youtube channel as well dtube. Good luck with everything on steemit bud!

Haha welcome to SteemIt! First time meeting someone on here that is a competitive eater!

Thanks for the welcome Hustle!

YES dude! I'm pumped you are starting to post here, now we just gotta get Chelsea to finally post her introduction too lol

My MAN! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for YOU!

Haha, you r crazy :)
Welcome!

Thanks my friend!

Welcome to Steem...

Hahaha, oh man... you seem like quite the character. That burger fries thing looks absolutely ridiculous. I can't even imagine.

I once eat an entire McDonald's family meal on a dare, and I was weird and buzzed for the whole night - I'm pretty sure I started phasing forwards and backwards in time. So I really can't imagine how you've eaten everything you have.

Look forward to seeing what sort of craziness you bring to Steemit!

Thanks Aussie! That's quite a feat! I did the entire McDonalds value menu a few months ago and it WRECKED me! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome to the Steem blockchain Erik, I'm so happy you are here! I'm sure you have heard of DTube already?

Thanks Lyndsay! Unfortunately I haven't heard of Dtube yet! Who's he?

It's a decentralized video uploading platform created specifically for the Steem Blockchain. You upload your videos to DTube and they automatically show up on your Steemit Blog. There is no censorship on DTube, and you will make a lot more Earnings posting your videos there, than on youtube I bet!

https://d.tube/

This a fun post and I am definitely excited to see more from you, thanks for joining Steemit, we are glad to have you. Be sure to let your audience know about your success here. :)

I love watching your food challenges on youtube, is good to see that content creators are starting to hear about steem!

I hope you enjoy the community!

Welcome on Steem Erik! Steem is super exciting and I think you'll very much like it!

Cryptocurrencies are the future and Steem is a very special breed in this space!

Thank you sir! As I said in my original post, I'm doing the most that I can to learn more about cryptocurrencies and how they work, but I'm hoping to get it down!

It is so awesome to have you here and welcome. Definitely an awesome addition to the community. That was so much food you ate.

Welcome to the mess! You got yourself a follower. <3

Thanks girl! I can't wait to get "messy".

Yeh dude this platform is dope ! You're gonna have a blast here. Can you imagine going back to REGULAR non paying social media? Getting paid to do what you love sounds like a GREAT IDEA!

warm welcome to community...

Welcome to Steemit. I have seen you on YT. We have something in common....FOOD! Welcome and have fun on Steemit. It is a great community.

That's great to know that I have a viewer that's already familiar with my content! Thanks Tess!

Welcome to steemit eric. Looking forward to your next post. By the way, did you finish that big loooong sandwich? ;)

Thanks Puro! The sandwich pictured above is called the "Big Fat Fatty" at a place called Fat Sals. They have locations in both San Diego, and Hollywood here in CA. I've failed it once (majorly) the second time (pictured above) I got a handful away from finishing before vomiting. It's the only challenge I've ever failed and I WILL have my vengeance!

Hi Erik the Electric,Nice to read about u i am faizan from india and welcome you to on steemit
i have follow you, so you can also follow me
Best of luck

beautifoolwaving.png Welcome to Steemit Erik ^_^

You gonna ADORE it here ;-)

Thanks Barbra! I appreciate it!

Competitive eater - I have always wondered why people do this. Can you shed some light for me. Welcome to Steemit !

Thanks Ervin! Competitive Eating is something not very "understood" with the majority of the population as it's still "up and coming" in the year 2017. In this day and age, ANYTHING can be "competitive" depending on the person and their hobbies.

I was always very interested in food and could always take down quite a large amount of it in my days!

Good Guy .! Keep enjoying your life buddy <3 Smile always

Thanks sir!

nice video bro

I am totally fascinated and following you! I have never met a competitive eater!!

Well now you have! Thanks for the support!

Great article, I admire you
nice to meet you? :)

Don't tell people your dream , SHOW THEM

The truth!

I am glad you are here! I am impressed with your youtube skills! I look forward to following you and check out youtube as well! Happy Holidays!

Thanks Iot! YouTube is hard to master, I'm still learning a bunch! Like my good friends brian and chelsea, that I mentioned in my post! Happy Holidays!

welcome on board bro

Thank you for the warm Welcome!

Welcome Erik, I also intend to write about cycling on here. I have a passion for single track and recently started getting into Zwift.

Zwift makes keeping up with my cycling goals pretty easy now that I have 2 kids.

Hey Rusty! I used to zwift back in the day! It's actually a GREAT way to get into cycling, and is great when you don't have time to ride outside. I live in San Diego, CA. So I definitely have the time! lol. Happy Riding!

Interesting introduction post! Keep sharing and have fun Steeming.

Thanks Allesia!

Awesome to meet you man :)! Glad your taking a step towards the future by signing up ! All you youtubers are coming on that’s awesome ! Well I play music and make weird videos so feel free to stop by my page and follow me. Il be here to support you. Definitely got my follow !

Sir Erick, I have seen many of your youtube videos and I'm always amazed of all the food that you consume. I also have come to realize that you have a knack for cooking. What I do have to ask is how can you eat so much sugar? With all the syrup you add to your meals it makes my stomach turn. The consumption of donuts and cereal would throw my sugar high into a comma. I saw in a recent video that you tried your hand or mouth in a competitive food eating contest.
Looking forward to seeing you on this platform. Best of luck and happy riding!

Hi there! Sugar consumption is extremely relative to the individual. Some can't tolerate large amounts of sugar in a sitting, and some can. It really boils down to individual tolerance. Thanks for the post!

Yes!! Love Eriktheelectric.
Great content!😊
I just made introduction post as well about myself.(20 years old moved to Japan at 18 yrs old to chase dreams since 7)

So glad to see you on this platform.
You might not see this but just know i appreciate your content!

Welcome to Steemit @eriktheelectric, glad to see a youtuber. I always wanted to be a youtuber but didn't have resources and skills earlier and also due to full time web developer job. Hoping you could shed some light on how to be a successful youtuber. Followed and upvoted. Feel free to follow me.

Thanks! Shivgre! YouTube is something that takes awhile to fully grasp, I still have a ways to go before I'm able to get to where I want to be . But ANYONE can do it!

Welcome to Steemit! Hope you enjoy it. Regards from Venezuela!!
