"A social media platform that rewards its users and creators with cryptocurrency?! Sign me up!" ..... that's what I said a month ago when I first got exposed to this radical new vision of technology, commerce and community.
Now I am trying to share the Steemit message with my network and dive deeper into the details of the ways it operates and the reasons it is as revolutionary as it is.
I decided to host a webinar to share on fb, IG, linked and twitter about some of the ins and outs of this platform. I was joined for this webinar by veteran user, Anne-Marie Davies - @choogirl - who answered a bunch of my questions (and the questions of my followers).
Feel free to share this youtube link on other socials to accelerate the education!

Great interview.. we love @choogirl in #teamaustralia. She really is a world of help to so many newbies and even us not so newbies anymore!
Also stoked to see some of the people who are joining Steem now - I've been a bit of a fan since I heard a recording you did of a song one of my friends wrote for his girlfriend for her birthday many many years ago :) (Okay sorry..fangirl moment over now :) )
Cheers - keep up the good work!

Steemit took me a little while to get into but it's so much easier when you follow authors that you're more interested in and join small communities. It's a good time to join, while the website is still relatively small! :)

It was especially great for me watching one of my favorite Steemians and curator of Steemitworldmap, @choogirl going at it with you as an amazing new Steemian who already pinned a post to the map!

Hey Choo, it's lovely to see you in real life, after a while the discord character icon becomes the person. So it's nice to see the real face behind the persona.
Secondly, you're amazing. Thank you for helping everyone on TA. Team Australia wouldn't be even half of what it is without you. You and Ausbitbank and all the various mods (and all the MSP folks behind the PAL initiative TeemSteem, Aggroed, Discordiant etc.) have made it probably the best chat room and group on the internet. I would have probably quite out of it a while back if it wasn't for you and the TA team.
So you rock! You should be really proud of what you've done in this space. You're changing the world for the better with every new recruit you bring on - so thanks for taking so much time and care over everyone's profiles, it's hugely appreciated.

Lol. It's all good. Anne-Maries are very particular about the spelling of their names though. It's a something I've noticed from the other ones I've met (which aren't that many). There's the combination of Anne or Ann and Maree or Marie and we've all been called MaryAnne numerous times, which we hate.

@choogirl you interview so well, I love how conversational and warm this was... @benleemusic your natural inquisitiveness makes for a great video. I'm so glad you're here and so super excited you're enjoying this platform that we all love so much.

Good interview to watch! Very interesting analyse... one of the reason I think steemit will be a sucess is that it is much easyer to donate to someone when you dont loose it!!! AND NO PUBLICITY too, because when you watch something on youtube, shure, you are indeed donating to the creator and not loosing money but you are payng that with your brain-time during the advertising!
And the part of rewarding positivity ... I agree 100% ... I've been here just 3 month and only goog human interactions.
All the best to both of you
