Addictive

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 


My 3rd day on the steemit platform, my wife, @whatsup, has been a steemian for a while, and I understand better the effect of  a social media site. Without her prior involvement I seriously  doubt I would be here . Since I have been I am  surprised  how fast time goes by. 


Day 1                                                                                                                                                                                                

  Some surfing to check out the site, with impressive coaching from my wife to help me learn to function here, reading posts and learning to  leave what are hopefully relevant comments, thinking about what I might have to say and writing my first actual post, [ shout out to @mazzle for the welcome and encouragement], frenetic rechecking of my first blog for new votes or comments, surfing more posts, frenetic rechecking of my first post.


Day 2

Frenetic rechecking of my blog , which by now had no chance for further comments....:), more surfing and finding some accounts to follow, frenetic rechecking of my first blog, perusing posts from my feed list and commenting, becoming aware of the amount of spammers,  composing a second post , somewhat less frenetic rechecking of all two of my blogs, updating my home page, more surfing, watch Australian Open tennis (because my eyes hurt).                                           Night 2   Idea for third post came, more tennis, third post idea demanded attention, spent several hours composing 20 min work.


Day 3

Somewhat routine perusal of home page, checked feed list and commented, became much more aware of amount of spammers, slight editing of third post

posted third post, perused feed list, surfed randomly, was reminded to post again, surfed randomly, composed fourth blog. 

As I look back  on my first three days involved in social media I am amazed  how fast they went. I also look forward to the interesting interaction up and coming, as well as the increasing value in steem and sbd.

I will close with a quote from a Steemian I respect:

Your All Gonna Get Rich, Boys!

Welcome to Steemit! I understand all too well how fast the time flies while engaged on the site. One tip I can give you is to maintain your health insurance for it sounds as though you will be suffering acute frenetic rechecking syndrome. Many of us here suffer from the same affliction, though so don't feel too bad about it.

You have the best teacher and will be up to speed in record time, I am sure!
Looking forward to hearing your take on things.

Thanks! Steem to the moon! Then I can afford high end health insurance!

This is SOOO how it is starting out! And even further along sometimes. I love your wife's posts. She's one of my favs. Glad to see she's brought the other half!

:) Thank you. Appreciate both the welcome & the vote! She is responsible for a very nice boost starting out.

Hey, you gotta take what you can get! A leg up on here is always great. You'll pay it forward, I'm sure. That's the way this little steem engine goes 'round.

Hi @roundhere. I have also been around for a while and finally motivated my husband to open an account here on steemit. He finally did but now I have to motivate him to start writing...lol! Good luck to you!

Welcome to Steemlandia!

Thank you:)

I know you! Welcome to SteemIt.

To those who happen upon the post... I am surprised and pleased to see my husband join SteemIt.

He has never had a social media account, not even Facebook. He has had to listen to me talk about SteemIt for 18 months. At times he has had to listen to SteemSpeak on my computer Speakers. :)

He joined anyway! :)

Oh my...my husband opened up an account last week but now I have to motivate him to write. Hope it doesn't take me 18 months to get that right!

If you cant beat'em, join'em?

Hey mate, welcome to Steemit! I'm sure you'll enjoy it here, the community is great. I look forward to seeing your content.

If you are interested in cryptocurrency, my blog is going to do an overview series of the top 100 coins and it'd be great if you could give me a follow... I've just released my second post on Ethereum but I've got many more to come!

Hope you have a nice day :)

@nathan290595

Thanks for the welcome. I'll check out your site.

plz vote me back. i am new on steemit. Need the help!!

Welcome to the social platform steemit, I hope that we can share excellent moments, greetings, we will be in touch.

Welcome to the social media world! You have more days of experience; has the frenetic checking seized? Kudos to you for trying. My husband was just not interested in creating an acct. Since we both don’t have much time to socialize on here, I told him to share this acct with me and some friends. He is slowly realizing that we can’t let technology leave us behind. I was so proud when he made his first comment, lol.

Best with your Steemit journey!

Sharing an account could be an interesting social experiment!
Checking in has become much less frenetic!

Welcome to Steemit Sir! Your wife is an amazing individual who is helping so many people and who has helped so many people.

So made it possible for me to procure a device so I can post, reply, do my exchanges etc online. It's through HER that I'm online!

Amazing woman, I can only imagine the amazing man who stands by her side.
I will be following your posts and I'm looking forward to getting to know you better my man.

Thanks for the acknowledgement! It matters.

Hope so we all would get rich one day :) Wishing steemit to become more addictive to me ;)

Aside from mythical flies (your comment @Denmarkguy) ... this is the first time reading you, and discovering that you're going to try for the blogging thing too.

(wow ... that rhymed, but not on purpose)

Jack of all trades, master of none!
Actually, I have wanted a video of the end dump for a while. Getting onto Steemit was the kick I needed.
I have no idea of what comes next.
Thanks for being here!

Your wife makes fun posts and has been very good to me with her upvote so here I am to see what her husband is all about. Your posts also look to be very fun, so I shall be checking in from time to time.

You are already kicking ass, it took me 3 months to make $10 on a post!

Price of steem is up......annnnddd,,,,,,,I'm married to @whatsup. :)

I get by with a little help from my friends....
