For a very long time, I have thought hard on how to give back to the Steemit community. After heavy thinking and research, I finally found an avenue to make my stay in this community a fulfilling one.
Just as the nice Steemit slogan says
I joined Steemit for the reward; but now, I am in love with the community. So in love with the community that after praying when I wake up in the morning, the next thing I do is to check steemit.
I believe it now when @gbenga said Steemit is a virus, not a deadly one, but a positive-thinking one, a life changing virus.
I so much enjoy the Steemit virus and the reward it brings that I have vowed to make it great.
MY STEEMIT STORY - Remember, You Read It Here First!
I hope most newbies can learn something from my Steemit story. It is not one sweet story like that of @papa-pepper nor @stellabelle.
In August 2016, I got to know about Steemit through a thread at the Warrior Forum (an online forum for Internet Marketers and Internet Business owners); I immediately signed up for an account to start my Steemit journey.
After days of lurking around the website, I took the courage to write my introduceyourself post.
Just as many newbies joined Steemit with high hopes and expectations; I also expected my first post to earn me a good reward that will motivate me to do more.
Boy, I was dead wrong; that post made just $0.02. You can check for yourself here https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@lucashunter/meet-the-african-sales-pro-am-happy-to-be-on-steemit

I count the present newbies to be lucky because they can use @booster, @minnowbooster, @minnowsupport and other upvote bots to upvote their post and get a good reward.
I was depressed, I wanted the reward so badly, but I couldn't get it. I called it a QUIT
Nine months after (sometimes around May 2017), through what I called good luck, I stumbled upon Steemit again but this time I was more determined to make it work.
My determination and lots of Steemit research for what work paid off big time for me.
WHY I WANT TO BE A MENTOR
For the past four months, I have dedicated some time to learning how Steemit works like:
- How to get the idea for your Steemit post.
- How to structure your Steemit post to make it readable even for impatient readers.
- How to properly promote Steemit post for a better reward.
- How to build your reputation while you make friends on Steemit.
And some more tricks that will ease newbie's journey on Steemit. I don't want them to leave just as I did over a year ago.
I want more newbies to really see the true value of Steemit.
JOIN THIS CHANNEL TO BE A MENTEE
Recently, I stumbled upon the wonderful Minnow community on Discord app called @unmentionable.
After some days in the channel, I decided to use that little team of Steemians as a way to give back to the Steemit community.
Since there is a position for mentors available, I am applying for the position of a mentor to help the newbies that are members of the Unmentionable team.
You can learn more about the Unmentionable here https://steemit.com/steemit/@unmentionable/so-many-laughed-when-we-said-that-we-would-teach-and-make-social-media-professionals-on-steemit-until-now-theunmentionables
Let me know what you feel about me becoming a mentor in the comment below.
You've got my vote - waiting for at least 1 more and the spot is yours buddy :) Great work on this post!

I'm really glad a great person like you has taken it upon himself to mentor newbies on Steemit. Our long walk changed my view entirely of the platform. Looking forward to sharing more awesome moments with you in person. We minnows are lucky that you have taken that mantle of leadership. Lead us on as we follow in your path.

Damn!!! The part that struck me was "In August 2016, I got to know about Steemit."
Then steemit was barely 3 months old. You would have gone far since then
That nothwithstanding, its a good thing you've decided to teach people about steemit.
Great impact!!!

You would be an excellent mentor!
If I was only here for the money, I would have left by now. My account is building slowly, but I am having a lot of fun, meeting new people, and learning a lot!
You can walk away, but I hope no one gives up!
