1,000 Followers!!! What I Learned Along The Way

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I joined Steemit just over two months ago and have spent a ton of time trying to be a good Steemonian. Now with the benchmark of 1,000 followers, I realize how lucky I am to have found this awesome community.

First I want to say thank you every one of my followers and all the people that have upvoted, replied and resteemed. I really appreciate all the support. I can't thank you enough.

There are a few things that I have learned along the way to 1,000 that I would like to share. A few tips to maybe help you get to 1,000.

1. Be honest - Steemit isn't like Facebook, people want the honest you. If you are posting, be honest about who you are. This giving economy appreciates honesty and I try to be honest in all that I do... especially on Steemit. 

2. Put in effort - It is important to be active and committed to Steemit if you want to succeed at any level. You have to put out content or post replies regularly. It takes effort and you have to put in the work.

3. Keep Steeming - Sometimes the price of STEEM goes up and sometimes it goes down. No matter what the price does, keep Steeming. We are in beta and have a long way to go. Keep Steeming and everything will work out.

4. Be nice- There are a lot of really cool people here and almost everyone is very nice. This is a great community of learners and very skilled people and if you are nice, you will see that this Steemit world will respond in kind.

5. Always Learn - There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and taking the time to search topics you like will reveal a treasure trove of great content. Keep learning.

I'm very excited to hit 1,000 followers. It is a big benchmark in my eyes. I can't thank you all enough for all that you do to support my love for writing, teaching and learning. I will work hard to continue to put out great content and get to know as many of you all possible. This is a great community and I am lucky to have found it. Thank you!

1K is an awesome benchmark and I hope you'll share some of the changes you've noticed in using the platform since hitting that level of followers. I am slowly and diligently working to gain influence and followers and make an impactful contribution. My investing strategy is slow and steady, and I will continue that strategy on Steemit. #NoShortCuts

No shortcuts is right. you got a new follower to help you on your journey. Thank you for the kind words and I will let you know for sure. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I also followed you and look forward to learning. <3

Congrats! You have worked hard and your tips are amazing. I have been recommending your posts to some newbies too.

Hard work brings rewards. I'm at 20. Guess I need to work harder ;-)

congrats!! Thanks for putting a smile on my face.. :) your posts are fun!

@walkingkeys, The world is nothing but a mirror of your self. As you sow, so you reap. You are a good guy and the world responds in kind. Happy for you. I wish that you grow further and get to add another '0' at the end of that 1000 followers soon. God bless.

Congrats. Sounds like good advice. Just starting out but I hope to be able to follow in your footsteps!

Quite a feat.

  1. Be honest

The simplest thing in the world, yet so hard when trying to practice it. People need to know that we lie to ourselves so much that we no longer know what honesty is. By practicing honesty on steemit, we learn to be honest with, and to bring honesty back, to ourselves. Congratulations on 1000, steem on and continue to practice the virtues.

We are not only what we eat, but what we do, and what we think. Keep life real, and life will be real, not a lie.

Wow congratulations 1000 followers in 2 months is quick work. Way to go

After reading this I was like I should follow this guy, realize I already am so you must be doing something right

Really great job and excellent advice for all of us that follow you. Honesty really can't be beat as my dad taught me through my life.

I should have listened to my dear old dad's advice when I was a young man, instead of being consumed with trying to get ahead and keep up with the Jones's.

Hindsight is 20/20, as the old saying goes. I for one will stick with being transparent and as honest as I can be. Thank you for unselfishly sharing so much of yourself through your posts.

The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.
