Not sure when I started following you, but am glad I did. Congrats on 6014 followers. Today is day 28 for me, 4 weeks, and I went from 49 followers 3 days ago, to 65 today. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that some people think you might have something to say. And not all of those 65 followers are bots, which is pretty nice.

People Promoting People, I have to ppp,(LoL). I viewed the video above, pretty crazy, but original. I would like to promote two people I am following, if this bothers you just let me know and I will edit this and next 2 paragraph's out.

First @greenrun, He is from Nigeria, why do I follow him, what is his specialty? He writes very pleasurable things to read about his home, his country. I really know very little about Nigeria, and ran across one of his post called: Eunuch
Was Eunuch the strongest boy I knew?, and I was hooked on his storytelling ability.Link to story

Next person I would like to introduce to everyone is @neonartist. I believe he is from kazakhstan. He is an airbrush artist. His work is simply mind blowing. And his current project, is an indoor play area for Children. The love and care he is putting into this area for the kids is simply amazing . Sorry about the size of the following picture.
Helping people, thats what I liked about you @stellabelle, a heart can grow in any man/woman or child, it just takes time to erase the hurt and pain life gives us sometimes. Your heart has truly grown to an enormous size. Thanks and congrats again. Like I said I can edit most of this out if you want, it is a bit long.

thank you so much for these. I love the greenrun writing!

Thank you. ✌️

Teaching crypto class in your city? Wow thats huge. Congrats to your new feet, with steemit, the sky is our starting point. Need i say, you have been very original since i followed you.

congrats!
are you trying to reach 10k?
cheers!

It won't hurt will it?

Congratulations.. may steemit brighter in the near future.. keep posting

Congratulations! @stellabelle
I learnt a great deal from you about @steemit

The next hard fork should eliminate self-voting for anything: posts & comments. Till then...

Means that about 1/50 steemians follows you :)

wow, congratulations and I am one of those your faithful voters that have you in their steemvotter.com haha but my steem power is not all that big (I will be there soon..amen). You quality posts are great and constructive hence the success. Keep steeming to more success my lady Stella.
In addition to my comment, feel free to join the conversation in my new post about future of steem...it will motivate you more about steem . More success to you.

congratulation your happiness.
You wrote so beautifully, that started to follow you.

You'll have to update your graphic :) I've seen others gaining thousands of followers by spamming them, but you have achieved it the honest way and you'll do far better than them. Thanks for making Steemit a better place to be

Hey Steve, thanks for keeping it real! You struck me as a very honest person from day one! Please clone yourself!

Aw shucks. I'm flattered ;)

I joined steem just today to support one of my favorite horror narrators @otisjirychannel. Within 5 minutes I'm being spammed by individuals asking for upvotes. I don't know the scope of this website but I didn't realize upvoting your own content would tend to have such a negative impact... I fully understand the idiocy of upvoting comments such as "oh really" or "well done".

Admittedly, I don't have any content personally, I suppose because I'm still trying to figure out my voice in the context of this crazy world, but this seems like an amazing place to grow!

I'm so thankful I happened upon this post by @stellabelle because I love how heartfelt and sincere it is. I'm anticipating more great content and a hopefully a mentor as I try to embark on this new endeavor.

Nice job!!! Congratulations. I agree with you about reputation. I hate to I see people promoting sites that they do not know if they are going to pay them or are overcharging them.

Woman , you have worked hard , and for the last 3 months of being on this platform , I have saw do wonders . And honestly , I'm learning a lot from you . You are an inspiration to work harder and have showed me that no dream is too small. You go out of your ways to make everything happen , and 6,000 is a HUGE milestone . A huge congratulations on this milestone . Wishing you much more such success to come your way @stellabelle , props to you

Thanks and I loved finding your story....I think you are doing well and are on your way here.

congratulations to your success @stellabelle Im so happy for you.I do tell some filipino women newbie steemians about you to get some motivation about your success..women are powers !

Congratulations dear :)

I do love Spock. I always feel this calmness when Spock is talking!

Who does not ? 😅

You are one of the queens of platform. Congrats. Great "REAL" post.

I feel that I need to continue drilling this message down.....you CAN BE WEIRD, CRAZY, ALL THAT STUFF......
Steem is meant to have our inner lives be rewarded....so people who are black holes inside, well, they need to re-learn what it is to be a human!

Congratulations! Don't forget to update your signature where it says 5000 followers!

:)

Congratulations! You really deserve it!

Glad to hear it! Keep it up!

Wow, nice work. We first joined at about the same time, but I dropped the ball and didn't start posting until recently...

I'm jealous, and you're also an inspiration.

Keep up the good work!

well, i had nothing, so the choice was clear.

Gratz! I am glad I am a part of "this ring" and not the other one. :)

So exciting! I wasnt sure when i first came on board. Thought it might be another chore. Instead I am finding I can be myself completely and lay all my truths out. Plus it's massively expanding my creativity and who i really am. Lots of fun :)

Then you are doing it right.....it's designed to be a place where we use our minds.

It is unfortunate that some people are so shortsighted. It's all about me me me and how can I make a quick buck or abuse a loophole. I'm just glad to see some of the Steemit legends such as yourself and @jerrybanfield are willing to take the fight back to those that are in essence, abusers. As I mentioned in a different comment that just because there is a way or a loophole that you've discovered it doesn't give you the right to abuse it. Anyway, I'm hoping I'm going to get my video submitted on time :):) I'm quite confident in the concept although I've never done a video for an audience before. It's the message that's important here so let's see how it goes :) Cheers!!

big congrat~ this is a big achievement.

Congrats for all of your achievements here.

6013 Congrats!

@stellabelle you are my absolute favorite! no one has supported me more then you so far and my gratitude is beyond what you know!!! your belief in me has inspired me to create more content from my heart :) which brings me to this video... PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK LOL
https://steemit.com/philosophy/@stevenalexander/just-me-cleaning-my-ear-as-a-perfect-metaphor-for-life-enjoy

Thanks to you @stellabelle I seen this video :) I'll have to check more of his stuff out to be real sure I'll like it enough to follow :D wow what an achievement over six thousand shadows waiting for your next post. sweet :) I'm happy to be one of those shadows/followers keep up the good work

Congratulations on those well-deserved 6013 followers and for the great work you do on the platform, always actively engaged with her well-being, through your contests and the declared war on spam.
I share what you say, reputation is everything, there is caring for the image, it is paramount.
I wish you a beautiful week

Congratulations for such a nice journey

Wow, I can't believe you have reached 6000 (Well I guess it would be more nearing 5000 real followers if we consider dead followers haha) I'm glad I was able to be one of the thousands of followers.

It is amazing to see the power of steem and how much it has been able to help you as well as many others, and I'm glad that with this blessing you have been given you are able to spread love to others.

Hopefully one day the same can happen to me where I don't have to worry about having enough money to pay rent, gas and electricity and I have greater financial security rather than living on the skin of my teeth.

I'd definitely enter your steemfest contest but as I told you I teach so steemfest clashes with the academic year. Hopefully, when I get some money together, I'll be able to come next year @stellabelle

I am new to Steemit and it is great to see posts like these. I aspire to one day have as many followers as you! Thank you for sharing and motivating me to steem on!

Congratulations! 6k sounds like such a huge number, i am positive and hoping to celebrate this milestone someday. Thank you for all your advice, as a newbe its always great to learn from people like you. Thank you

Nice post @stellabelle

Mining with your mind... What an interesting concept! I love your idea-rich way of thinking :)

So how do you really feel about those gaming the system? Lol

Congrats!

meep

Yes "hodor" is exactly how I feel about the Game of Spam ...

meep

Follow me and I follow you I hope to count on your support, for my work

My share of the proverbial "Congratulations!" comment is in. :D
But srsly we do care to what you say. :)

(now i'm waiting for filthyfrank to come here. ;D)

Congratulations! You're one of the most authentique artists on this platform! I love you're style! Keep up the good work!

Congratulation @stellabelle

Hello @Stellabelle, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your positive energy. You are clearly driven by passion. Doing what you love will not only add an incredible amount of value to your life but to all of those who your work affects. Congratulations on reaching 6k followers!

Passion is what drives me too as an independent journalist. I have a burning desire to bring the unfiltered truth to my readers. I haven't felt this passionate about anything in years and now it's what I spend most of my time immersed in.

I have been on steemit for less than a month and absolutely love it. My only wish is that I had signed up earlier but I didn't know it existed till a few people mentioned it to me on facebook as a great alternative.

The feedback I have recieved has been positive, and I have had the pleasure of interacting with many wonderful like minded people that value my reporting, investigations, articles and interviews.

I wish you continued success, happiness, and great health! Have a wonderful day from one of your new followers :-)

Oh ...

kidding ...

6000+ WOW! I'm at less than 10% of that, I need to get on commenting more, and maybe plug into more social circles.

Congratulations on 6000, and thank you for the support you have spilled my way as well!

Hot damn!! That's a big number and you are spot on with your point about the spam farmers and comment vote con men!

Right.. There is a lot of posts without interest.. To be honest me too I do post some pictures maybe without big interst but in the idea to share beauty i see in the nature and traveling. But try to put some really interesting stuffs to (as this one on microdosing. Congratulations for the 6.000, good continuation

Ohhhhhh......It honestly took me reading to the last line to realize this was a post by a very popular and much-respected @stellabelle; based on comments I've read in other posts.
Wow, you gave newbie Steemians a lot of hope and encouragement about being successful, while maintaining integrity. I have to admit learning the authentic ramifications of Steemit, often reduces to the bottom line being a 'gut' thing.
I recently responded to a comment about someone promoting the “self” vote. It seemed a bit disingenuous. You know, that unsettling you get in your spirit when something is just not right? Well, thank-you for offering a no-bones-about-it clarification. Your statement, "You're eroding any respect that people have for you" says it all. Thank-you.
I acknowledged in my reply, the RATIONALIZATION that well, yeah, we should support our own work. SMH...That's like patting yourself on the back, when really no one else is in agreement with you. Tsk!
But, to wrap this up...You are 100% right, and, a primary example of this undeniable fact: "This is revolutionary." Certainly, Steemit is making the other big players, (i.e. Facebook and YouTube) perk an ear and take notice. It will be interesting to see how, and if, they will be able to successfully counter. Of course, I believe they will fare well; because, the Steemit platform is very different in a lot of ways.
Well,@stellabelle, thank-you for this encouraging post, and kudos for your success!
Peace!
Please allow me to request that we keep those going through the devastation of TS Harvey in our prayers.

This is what Steemit idiots who spam and scam end up having to do over and over when they start their new accounts:

How many people received a well-earned laugh on this one? No offense to West, of course. Thank you! I get it!!!

Congratulations @stellabelle
It is deserved that you have so many followers. He always has something important to say. In these fields I have been able to find people who follow others by hypocrisy and I believe they are people of dark cloud. I have nourished your publications and I will never forget the meaning of the word "steem" that I read in your post. "Steem is the light" is shine and is like the purity that feeds the good people of Steemit.
(Now I'm afraid, because there is little connection in Venezuela. The hours without electricity are a few, and on the other hand they ration the use of the Internet, so it's a bit depressing.)
Thank you always and continue to have many successes

Creo que usted es uno de los ejemplos a seguir en esta plataforma, yo tengo poco tiempo en steemit ya pronto cumpliré 5 meses y he observado sus publicaciones lo mucho que ha progresado y compartiendo con nosotros sus experiencias pasadas, antes de iniciar en esta comunidad, lo difícil que era para usted su vida hablando económicamente, y te digo algo uno siempre debe confiar en si mismo y a pesar de las adversidades siempre aprender de los errores y levantarse cada día con mas ganas de seguir adelante y luchar por lo que queremos, porque nada en esta vida llega así de fácil sin que tu te esfuerces, hay que buscar lo que queremos y yo en lo personal te admiro mucho @stellabelle eres un gran ejemplo para todos. Recuerdo cuando yo inicie en esta comunidad hace poco tiempo el apoyo que me brindaste y leía tus post y eso me motivaba mucho porque yo pensaba que no iba a lograr nada, pasaba por muy mal momento, estaba desanimado muy mal en lo personal y tu ayuda y tus publicaciones me ayudaron, por eso te doy muchas gracias tu fuiste la primera que aporto algo para mi, y hoy y siempre te deseo muchos éxitos a futuro....

Felicidades por los 6000 seguidores...Saludos desde Venezuela amiga :)

Congratulations; WOW! How about a contest on making Steemit a better place? ( Not that it is not good, but...you know)

Wee value our followers as much as they value us for their support for us. It is a yinyang relationship that makes steemit awesome. @stellabelle

You are so powerful and genius I need your help and support and guidance in near future too friends, wish you all the best for your wonderful works in steemit world. Have a great day friend.

You as well. One thing at a time, remember that.

Yes absolutely.

Congrats for your achievement!
You have one more follower!!

You are an inspiration. You write in an engaging and informative way. I am new to this and have vowed to try and do things the right way all the time. I am posting 4 times per day, commenting and upvoting posts that I enjoy and generally just enjoying myself as part of this new community. I have achieved a 49 ranking in the three weeks since I started and am closing in on 200 followers. Half the time I am flying blind and there is so much that I don't understand. However, it is exciting. I am a writer journalist based in Saigon and write prolifically. The way I see it, I may as well spend the time that I used to spend on facebook, on here. If something good comes of it, great if not, well I'm enjoying myself anyway. Once again Thank you @stellabelle

Holy moly. I think I wound up following you because we're both friends with Laura? I never knew you were on the same level as gavvet. Makes my ~1,700 followers feel puny and shriveled by comparison. I just got out of the pool! The water was cold! IT WAS COLD!! >:'0

I'm gonna keep going though, either I will make a living with my horror stories or my life will turn into a horror story, haha. Why live if you can't do what you love, right? I don't feel frightened by that, just more intensely motivated. All or nothing is the way I want to live.

Just be yourself. People who like you will come, eventually.

....Mom? Is that you?

Congrats @stellabelle. That is a cool milestone. You definitely steemit famous! 😎

Congratulations! Much deserved. Love all your posts. More power to you :)

Congrats on the 6000! Just recently discovered you, and I have to say, I love your candid approach :)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Imagine what the world would be like if everyone could wake up and do what they are good at and loved to do?

That's exactly what I am experiencing and thinking about these days...

Oh and... you're running a crypto class?! Cool! Have you shared something about it here? Has anyone joined steemit already?

And I really like your thoughts on reputation. You're so right! :)

there are people who have joned, or are in process of joining......Steem is the main purpose in having a school...it's just that no one knows the word, STEEM, so I named it Bitcoin School....We explore all kinds of cryptos, but my students are going to get on my upvote bot......so that's one thing I can give them by joining Steemit.

This is really cool! Great job!

I'm so glad to read this & know that people aren't supportive of the self voting thing & that there are folks using their powers for good to fight it.

When I see someone make $60 on a "me too" comment & not even upvote the content they profited off of it feels dirty. At least give a courtesy reach around, shit!

It's been a turn off for me getting involved & I absolutely agree with them giving Steem a bad name because it's an issue that has made talented friends of mine hesitant to join as well.

I think my favorite part was the advice for them to write an article on it. I love that the community would be receptive to them owning it.

Your posts are always worth the read. That's why I follow you. I came here to learn more about crypto currency and I learn a lot from you. Your existence proves that women can always be part of tech. Go girl!

Wow!! 6000? Sheesh!! But congrats @ stellabelle!! Youve gotten to where you are bu nothing but hard work and promoting the site you love!! Steem onnnn!!!

Congratulations on those many followers,wishing continued growth and success on this amazing platform. I really enjoyed the video of @stevenalexander too :)
