For love of steemit and in a bid to create awareness of what it's all about, I made a short and simple presentation of steemit yesterday to four (4) friends. Thanks to my good friend, Stoja Petrovic, who invited me over to do the presentation. Her friends, Jelena and Sarah (Jelena's daughter) are also my mutual friends. Svetomir, the only man (blessed among four women. Hahaha...), is Stoja's neighbor, who expressed interest to join us. Below are some photographs from the meeting.
First to the left (Sarah), second to the left (Svetomir), third to the left is Jelena and then yours sincerely (@maryfavour) wearing a steemit branded t-shirt.
Flanking me on the right is Svetomir and Stoja on the left. Stoja fed us with too much pizza for me get bigger and gain more weight. Hahaha...
Think it, steemit. Absolutely! That is the inscription on the front side of my new branded t-shirt. If you can think it, then steemit.
Presenting Steemit With the Acronym PIVOT&E
Since the meeting was going to be an informal one, I thought to make a simple presentation that everyone can remember. What came to my mind was the word, PIVOT, remembering my high school physics, parts of a lever . By definition, Pivot is a central point on which something balances or turns.

Moreover, before the screen printer made the branded t-shirts , I thought of the acronym PIVOTE (from PIVOT) and told him to print the words; Post, Interact, Vote and Earn, alongside QR code of the link to my steemit page, on the back side of the t-shirt. See photograph below.
- Post
- Interact
- Vote
- O (2nd letter in the word 'vote)
- T ( 3rd letter in the word 'vote)
- Earn
Below are 3 short video clips of the presentation (mostly in Serbian language/'srpski')
First video clip explaining Steemit using the acronym, PIVOT & E

Second video clip, responding to some questions including how much I earned in my last post before the meeting ($46 SBD)
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="
Third video clip, doing a major comparison of facebook to steemit in terms of earnings

Image source have been properly cited. All photographs were taken with Stoja's i phone 7 plus mobile devise. The customized divider was made for me by @outhori5ed, and the generic footer sourced from here.
If you like the branded t-shirt, reside in Serbia and need one or more, place your order here . The cost is 20 SBD/1 steemit branded t-shirt (free shipping cost included). After placing your order, send 20 SBD with a memo ''mail steemit branded t-shirt'', I will mail it to your home address. More promo materials to come.
My sincere apologies to all contestants of mission to minnow (MTM) challenge #3 to win a ticket to steemit in Nigeria (SIN) conference, for the delay in announcing results of winners of the contest. An update post for all contestants have been written, pending selection of winners. Hopefully, the long awaited announcement will made before Wednesday. Please, keep checking @redfishpillar's blog. Thank you.
What are your thoughts regarding my first steemit presentation to a small group of friends? How do you present and promote steemit to your friends, family and acquaintances? Please, share in the reply and comments section below. I would like to hear from you.
Keep up the great work promoting #Steemit. Good luck with #promo-steem and #promo-serbia. The T-Shirts look great. Well done. Stephen

Thanks a lot, @stephenkendal! I am really honoured to have you visit my blog. Glad to know that you like the t-shirts. Honestly, the idea of QR code, I got first from reading how you add the code to your flyers for #promo-uk. So, I figured that it would be nice to print it on the back of steemit branded t-shirts. Many thanks too for giving me a whole new idea of #promo-serbia. I should begin to use that tag soon.

My informal presenation starts by me asking them questions in this order below!
The first question leads me to the next and i introduce Steemit and tell them they can earn a small reward posting about their passion.
I then explain how the money is paid by converting Steem Dollars/Steem to Bitcoin which they can sell and get real cash.

Fantastic way of presenting steemit! Finding out what theirs passions are is good entry method. Moreover, during Q & A session, that aspect of passion can also be dealt with. For instance, Sarah has a flair for arts and posed a question where to find the #art tag. I showed it to her and she was very glad to know that there is a community of people with similar passion /interest such as hers in steemit. Keep the steemit flag flying!

I would just say keep your STEM and power up in order to build real wealth... Just my humble opinion.

Thank you for your comment, @czechglobalhosts. Keeping steem and power up is key, but they need to earn it. The way to earn steem by blogging is the PIVOT & E, which I described in my videos.

Ah good to see you here, @enjar, my friend.
Thanks for the commendation. Yes, I figured out that the QR code will bring more people in like you rightly stated. If you see my size in that photograph, you'll discover that my fitness goal have not really been a success. As much as I can, I eat less junk food (apart from a couple of times like yesterday when Stoja fed us with 6 pizzas. Lol.). Excercise is what is missing in my dream to lose weight. Finding a place where I can do zumba dance, will help a great deal, since I like dancing. Cheers.

My diet and goals have been hit or miss. I’m not losing much weight but I think I’m gaining muscle. I’m a few days behind posting my next update even. I did get some exercise in today and taking a short break before some more.
I was really hoping to have a lot more energy by now. Last couple of days I’ve only wanted to sleep and not do much else.
I hope you find a place for Zumba dancing and make some time for yourself. Have a wonderful week!

Great t-shirt; love the QR code on the back!
I have a couple of friends that just opened a Bitcoin Store and they are big cryptocurrency fans. We talk Steem and other currencies whenever we are together. It's inform, but its fun to relate with others involve in the same endeavors.
Great post; wish I spoke Serbian! Cheers!

Thanks, @braveboat! The QR code is just another fascinating thing about the branded t-shirts. Anyone behind me can easily use his/her phone to scan the code, which would immediately take them to my blog. No need to type a long url.
Wow! A bitcoin store sounds interesting. It's always fun to be with those you share same interests.
Serbian language, one of the slavic languages, is not easy to learn and understand. Native speakers of the language like @lighteye, @olegw, must have noticed the mistakes I made in the grammar declension or cases. There are 7 of them in srpski and you have to keep changing these words, which makes the language difficult. In the third video clip of my post, for instance, I said
I really appreciate your support. Keep steeming!

Hello @maryfavour
Kudos to you ma'am. This is motivating. One thing with you is outstanding. In Steemit, you're always setting the pace while we follow. You inspires and lead. In the weeks ahead, most of us will toe this path. Steemit must be taken to every nook and cranny. More geese to your elbow.

It is beautiful to hear you mixing English with Serbian language in order to explain STEEMIT.
In the US most people want to make money fast. They say steemit is too slow as for earning for minnows. It could be my fault, I may not explain it to them correctly.

This is absolutely wonderful! If each steemian that is serious about this platform and wants it to grow does exactly the same and bring just one/two friends or family members we will see a snowball effect coming pretty soon. It is also the best way to get real close circle of followers. Great job and keep it up! Tomas

Good strategy, @honourmaus. Bravo! It's good to know that you are asking your friends how much they earned from the last post, which they put up on facebook. However, you don't have to sound like it is compulsory that they join you on steemit. Steemit is hardwork! That is a major difference between steemit and facebook.What is important is that you just to keep spreading the steemit message /gospel; Use steemit branded books, biros, back packs, plates, cups, calendars, face caps, t-shirts, handkerchiefs, towels, etc. Let them see that apart from your obligation to study and do well in microbiology, you live steemit.
