Introduce Yourself In The Comments.. Meet Others and Compare Interests. #2

in meetup •  6 years ago 


 One of the most common complaints I hear from people with young accounts is it is difficult to find a following.  I agree it is difficult to find others who might be interested in your posts.  Don't feel too bad even those of us who have built an audience are feeling like readers are a bit scarce right now. 

 

Let's try this...  (I have no idea if it will be effective)

 Make a comment giving a short description of who you are and what you write about.  I'm not looking for your real life name, but rather who you are on Steem and what you are about and interested in.

One of the reasons I quit myspace and moved to Facebook was how easy Facebook made it in the early years to find your friends and those who held the same interests.  It was a lot more fun to engage with people who I either knew or had shared interests with.

I encourage you (on this post only to) drop a link and a description of yourself in the comments.  If you drop one, also find someone else to follow.  It is a slightly organized follow4follow post.

I will highlight the 10 introductions that I find the most interesting and there might be bonuses as well.It's just an experiment, take a minute post about your interests and if you think it might be helpful give it a resteem.

Who knows you might find a new supporter as well.

Meet up in the comment section. 

I did this 2 months ago and the post had the 2nd highest level of engagement I've ever had at 253 comments, which tells me people are really wanting to meet others.

If you are new and wanting to ask any questions or say hi, I hit lots of Discords, but mostly hang out in SteemSpeak, come by and say hi!

Love this thread, great idea!

I'm @kadoka, for now I'm focusing on creating and sharing my photography and videos, so at this point most of what I write pertains to the visual media I've created. I do like to write, but I haven't quite found my voice here yet and much of what I write elsewhere seems a bit too personal for steemit.

These are samples from some of my recent photography based blogs:

I've spent a lot of time over the last few years having crazy wilderness adventures, a side effect of that is bringing back things to share. Images, videos, and stories! One of the things I really love is finding an amazing place in nature that very few people have discovered, capturing that, and sharing the view. I work mostly with bracketed images for my landscape photography and film a lot with drones for the the videos.

I'm also starting to make GIFs today, which seems a good idea since they play automatically and don't require a clickthrough to dtube to view!

beautiful pictures!

@whatsup,
Do you need my RL name? Ah ha that's good I have plenty of STEEMIAN friends in my FB (Thanks to STEEMIT, not very active there)!
I will send an encrypted message!
Anyway nice to see you flag again! I see @ahmanik didn't let you forget how to flag!

Cheers~

hi guru , are you from asia ?

also can you send me an encrypted message with your name , date of birth , pet's name , street you grew up on and you mother's maiden name.

I'm @mysearchisover. I do a daily blog post about random and hopefully insightful stuff.

what were you searching for ?

I own mysearchisover.com

I think its time to know what were you searching for.

I own mysearchisover.com

But what were you searching for?

I am @jwolf. I like respecting rules but if others are not doing the same I am getting angry.

I do random posts based on my mood. I am not wasting my time for long articles, only around 10 people will read em

I like rules too...my rules...everyone needs to follow them ..

also I don't believe in rules for myself

also When Moon?

also Lambo Lambo Lambo

also nice to meet you , what made you angry ?

I see. Interesting.

Also, when lambo?

Yeah mood sometimes can influence the way the contents turns out, I relate lol. 😁😁 following you

I am always in happy mood after few drinks...also I drink a lot... is that a bad thing if it makes me happy all the times ?

I am only asking you since I can't afford to go to a therapist.

This sounds like my life a few years back

What did you do to turn it around?

I'm emwalker. I also go by "DudeWhoDoesDopeShit" - I'm filmmaker / writer and amateur photographer. As my name suggests I make some of the dopest shit on the steem blockchain...... Sometimes..... Other times I shitpost...... But to be honest - even those are good. Stop by my blog & check out some dope shit.

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

Followed, nice to meet you @emwalker. I enjoy film/photo/drone stuff, look forward to seeing more!

Well, I'm niall from ireland. Been on here for a while now but only really getting properly active now. I've posted content across a lot of topics over the time as I enjoy a bit of everything.

Since I don't have the tech knowledge a lot of people do on here I like to find new and interesting posts as I am always trying to learn more and do more. My main passion was always for writing so I don't mind what the topic is I just like to go with it. My other passion is hurling which is an Irish sport you will never have heard off so I don't expect to see too many posts about it on here. Give a shout if you have anything to chat about.

Hmm, I will have to google Hurling.

It's the fastest field sport in the world. This clip here doesn't go into the rules but has a few exciting highlights from a good season. Worth a look.

welcome laddy

Hi @whatsup and everyone !
I'm @anttn, a young contemporary artist,(even if I don't post pictures of my stuff), I'm writing short or long articles about society subjects that interest me, also posting some pictures of my daily life.. I love reading books at a huge rate as well as good articles of Steemians !
thanks to you @whatsup for this thread idea, it's pretty brillant ;)
see you soon !

Hi there @whatsup!

I am @dedicatedguy, as my bio says, I usually write about technology, science, other crypto projects and philosophy.

Hello, I will check it out.

Hi @whatsup great initiative to get people together!

My blog is made up of a wide range of content including, short stories, poetry, travel content, scuba diving articles, articles relating art, posts around meditation/spirituality and comedy posts.

My main love is creative writing though, as I studied it at university and aspire to be a published novelist.

I've recently been exploring more experimental posts for engaging the community like the, Literary Mash-up Challenge (dropped links below). They are out of the payout period, so no vote begging here 😉

Literary Mash-up Challenge: Part 1 & Part 2

Nice to meet you, I will check out your blog!

Good to meet you too whatsup. I have checked out your blog as well and read your This post is a placeholder it cracked me up 😂 and I shall be sure to check out some more of your posts.

Hello I'm @Josediccus, I'm basically a writer of poetry, I also post comedy, like in comedy open mic and I'm an engager and I like contents with purpose and meaning

Hello @josediccus. I dabble in poetry too. I enjoy writing fiction as well. I write/like to write on dark themes/fantasy.

Wow that's totally amazing, I just checked out your blog now, I'll be checking more,your poems are lovely 😁😁. Following you already

I always like seeing more poetry and that type of creative work on this site so I will definitely check your stuff out.

I wish I had any talent...

I love writing poetry also josediccus and put in an occasional entry to comedyopen mic :-) It looks like we have similar interests on steemit so I have followed your blog buddy. Looking forward to reading some of your content

Wow seems so too, I'll follow you just instantly too buddy, I think and I'll check out your contents too.

Yes, but do you make funny poems. That was dumb. I'm running out of clever things to say.

Lol it wasn't dumb, I do make funny poems sometimes, lol you'd definitely be surprised how much I can, I'm so glad you put this together.

Hi Jose. We are always looking for poetry to be used as lyrics for my Sunday show on Dlive. If you are interested you can submit poems in the "radio-evolved-submissions" channel on our Discord.

Hi everyone, @ammonite here. I've been on Steem for over a year now and am really enjoying the sense of community and tools being created to make this a great platform for content creators, all we need now is an engaged audience.

I have chosen to use the blockchain as a way to document my 20+ years as an ephemeral artist, among other thing. This will hopefully give my sculptures a place to live on long after they are gone.

I write posts talking about the sculptures and the stories that surround them. Hopefully some of you will join me and we can put the social back in this social media platform.

Thanks to @whatsup for this opportunity to get more eyes and our work.

Nice idea! I always try to find interesting users through the #introduceyourself tag... but often there is too much abuse :-(

I'm Steemitri The Mannequin... yep... I'm a mannequin, and I don't work in a store anymore.

I responded. :) Dude is one of those guys waiting for others to make it interesting. Look at my posts. I get engagement. That is because I engage. I'm not getting rich... That is for sure. :) I'm trying to do what I can to make it better instead of complaining.

He's bored. That is a feeling state. He should fix it. :)

  ·  6 years ago (edited)

He is one of the few people who gets the conspiracy stuff I'm researching, so I want to see him cope with the fact that about 95% of Steemians are totally brainwashed, without freaking.

You are so much more rational that most :)

And the comments on this post are mind boggling!

www.frot.co.nz

Well you are a much better conspiracy guy than most. Most are paranoid and negative.

:) I find you fun and funny. Let' keep your guy here, he just needs engagement. Most of the people just want engagement.

Hi everyone,
I am on Steemit to practice writing origami tutorials with the aim of writing my own book. I am also eager to encourage origami on steemit and have met some lovely folders such as @ivan-g @marblely @Cryptocariad and recently @sinvistaalsol

Thank you @whatsup

I've never folded one, but I feel up to the challenge. I will need you to lend me a Lamborghini for study purposes a couple of months a year at tops and I will be ready to go, pinky swear.

I already lost 2 lambos this way..no more. .

There is also this super advanced origami snowball by Jo Nakashima if you feel up to the challenge.

Hi guys am Gabriel. Economist by profession, love to whine about the political climate of my country (Nigeria). I also talk business and sometimes the beauty of life (it is no all bad afterall).

Thanks @whatsup for this initiative

Hi gabriel90sson! Political whining is popular, and I love that you called it that.

How dare you call my earnestly held belief whine ? my politics is what defines me as a person and dissent to my side will be viewed as treason.

also nice to meet you @gabriel90sson

Thanks @whatsup for this opportunity .

Hello, I believe that discord channels and steemit communities helped me make friends on steemit.

Organising meet ups in your area gives a boost as well.

@chiama is a Nigerian who believes in fairy tales, a literature teacher and lover of nature, fashion and beauty.

You can chat with me on Telegram: chiama1

can we chat with you here or do you only respond on Telegram?

also you can chat with me on Discord : itstime

Telegram and Discord faster.

You didn’t include your tag number alongside your discord user name.

Mine- chiama#4713

Now you are chatting here...should I go to Telegram to have this conversation?

If you want to

I want to ..yes

What are you still doing here? Lol

waiting for you on discord...

Great idea!!

So I run 2 main accounts, this one and @MusicVoter (with the associated curation trail with over 200 followers) and I am all about helping independent musicians on Steemit and Whaleshares.

By keeping the focus on music it has allowed us to build a fantastic community of both independent musicians and music fans who are willing to get involved for the benefit of the community.

We also have a a Discord where we talk about all things music and crypto as well as a website (see below) where musicians can get their music heard in return for listening to other's music.

So if you are a musician or a music fan then we will welcome you with open arms as long as you are willing to participate and help others and not just your self.

Hello , I am the CEO of Steemit and I also have an alt account under handle @ned .

Everyone - if you have any feedback , I am all ears !!

Haha I am already following you, man.

so , any feedback about my project , which is steemit ...

Just do everything that I think is right and then when it definitely doesn't work out because I don't know what I'm talking about, take all my abuse for it screwing up. Yep that's what I look for in a leader! lol

I hear you..but..

how about I do nothing and then we can do the blame game ? it's only a failure if you set a goal ..so...

"it's only a failure if you set a goal" There is wisdom in that lol

That's the whole crypto game..in hindsight , I shouldn't have said that out loud , being the CEO of Steemit ....

Hi I am @alokkumar121 . I am a crypto trader and I like photography and watching movies. My posts are not limited to only crypto. I share all possible details my audience be it crypto, technology, news, and photos as well. Please follow me for such posts and I hope you would like it.

I am @sardaradeel and thank to share with this beautiful post

I am also beautiful...please thank me as well

I am @artisticscreech. I picked a more "trollish" sounding name than I probably should have but I do make real content. I like to write about philosophy, psychedelics, cannabis, and every once in a blue moon I post a mildly entertaining rant.

The core values that I promote are usually individual freedom, unity among the common people, the need to find new ways of understanding things, and opposition to oppressive systems of authority.

I also like to engage in comment sections and I will usually go check out anyone who says something interesting or smart or funny so there is a good chance that I will follow people who interact with me.

I can't think of anything else but thank you @whatsup for letting us do this here.

I also like to engage in comment sections
