Hey friend! Will you help me in celebrating the Steem milestone of 500 followers?
I've been on the platform for 5 months and wasn't consistent at first. But lately I've been starting to pick up momentum and have hit the 500 follower milestone.
I'm truly thankful for you who decided to hit that follow button, and for any other Steemians that are coming across my page for the first time.
I also want to celebrate the fact that I turned 33 about a week ago. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. My family and I had a fun get-together where I cooked Salmon on the grill. Mmm, so good.
The third thing I'd like to celebrate, is the fact that I am working on and developing kenmelendez.com. I have decided on the type of content I want to display on there which includes exclusive self-development coaching, books, products, services, and loads of videos to help you take your game to the next level.
Of course...there will be A LOT about Steem on this site so be on the lookout for that coming towards Q3 of this year.
In light of all that...LET'S CELEBRATE with a contest! 25 SBD is on the line for one lucky Steemian who participates and follows the criteria. Please pay attention and don't leave any steps out.
To become eligible to win the 25 SBD, you must complete ALL details shown below:
1. Follow @kenmelendez if you haven't already
2. Upvote this post
3. Write a thoughtful comment below to join me in celebrating
4. Resteem this post
5. Create a post of your own that tells the community something about your Steem journey and how much Steem means to you. It can be about Steemit, @dtube, @dlive, @dsound, etc.
This post MUST be a minimum of 500 words and well-thought out. In your tags, you must also tag "kenmelendez" so that I know which posts to look for.
This content begins right now which is Saturday May 19th, 2018, and will run through Saturday May 26th at 11:59 EST.
To be honest, you guys can complete this in an hour or less, especially if you are used to producing content on a regular basis.
So there you have it! Time to celebrate!
I will be picking a winner a day or two after the contest ends and will be creating another post that shows me picking the winner. I will then tag that person in the post and also shoot them over the 25 SBD, providing they have met the above criteria.
I love you. I appreciate you. And until next time, remember, as always...YOU ARE AWESOME.
Take care and good luck!
-Ken

Hello@kenmelendezI hope you are very very good, I tried to find you in the discord chat but I did not find you. I had some doubts so I'll do them around here ... I hope you do not bother.Anyway, I noticed that there was a drop in your followers which I really do not understand ... and well my question was if you would continue with this contest since I am participating but as you did not mention anything good ... and another doubt was from continue with the contest, when you would select the winners ...Of a person, informality but there was no way to find you ...I send you a mega greeting and many kisses fromSomewhere in the world.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible.

Hello, @kenmelendez what's up? To start I wish you a Happy Birthday ... Following your celebration, it seems to me that although you have been on the platform for a short time, you have worked hard to create quality content to get so many followers, of course the goal is much farther away ... The idea is to keep growing and improving every day and more.I liked very much the idea of holding a contest, something imnovador that surely will make you meet great people on the platform.I really hope you continue growing as a person and as steemiats. A greeting from Venezuela. I wish you very much success.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

One word: WOW. Congratulations on your 500-followers milestone! That is indeed something worth celebrating! Steemit is a very challenging platform and being able to reach that number of followers is just amazing.
I'm still on my first month here and I've also thought of giving up, but posts like these are inspirations for newbies like me, that success takes time and it'll be all good in the long run if one doesn't give up.
Great to see steemians being successful!
Wish you all the luck in your steemit career and in your upcoming journey. Cheers for your achievement! :)

Followers are as important as the purpose for blogging here. If one's aim is to get rewards and make impact too certainly, Followers are vital in such regards.
It is not useful making posts if they were no audience. I celebrate with you it is worth celebrating.

A nephew commented to my son about steemit. And my son came in. He saw that it was safe and he helped me create mine. My son knows that I like to write stories and tell stories that happen to me every day in my work. And when I worked with special children at school with children with mental retardation. I have a story about the magic cube and an autistic child that I love to tell.
Very kind and congratulations for so many followers.
Un sobrino le comento a mi hijo sobre steemit. Y mi hijo entro lo probo vio que era seguro y me ayudo a crear el mio. Mi hijo sabe que me gusta escribir cuentos y contar historias que me suceden a diario en mi trabajo. Y de cuando trabajaba con niños especiales en la escuela con niños con retardo mental. Tengo una historia del cubo magico y un niño autista que me encanta contar.
Muy amable y felicitaciones por tantos seguidores.

Congratulations, and best of luck on @steemit. I know how you feel, I too have also been on the platform for quite some time, and also do not post as regularly as I should, so my journey has been and still is a slow one, either way, I just love @steemit and the community so I don't really mind getting undervalued, although a nice boost somehow would be great, guess I will continue just plugging away, hopefully somehow get I will eventually get some decent reward.
Sometimes I put a lot of effort in a post and get zip, and I do think my average is quite low, but hey as I said am just happy being here.
take care, and stay blessed...
PS. been following you from the start :-)

@kenmelendez Thank you for the input, I do need all I can get, lol have been around for a while, but I guess I just dont do enough interesting enough content to really improve. but I have only just published my first @dtube video, I started out on steemit and then slowly moved to do some content on @steepshot and like I said just recently a video on dtube.
I shall take on your advise and actually start doing some more quality vids on @dtube and see how that goes.
Thank you again for your advise and comment.

wauhh...its really wonderful to hear this wonderful achievement. I did also enjoy my time on steemit. I know it wasn't easy but it also needed some perseverance, creativity and numerous effort to be on the track.
@kenmendez, this achievement is so great and its worth rejoicing. On my side, i also reached 5 months and felt like joining this contest. well, my journey was most in steem promos to also give a chance to lower income community in Africa, specifically in Uganda where i'm part.
we hope the best to the winner but most congz for that achievement. I did wanted to join dtube but internet bundles really sucks here and i have to spend the whole day waiting for the download. Seing your constant and regular posts either on steemit or dtube also encourages me that one day ill be able to expose my work regularly on dtube or dlive even when the networks seems to be always poor.
