Did I Post Something "spammy"? Am I no longer eligible for the cool club? *Scratchin' my head over here.

Ammachi I will be what I am called to be. Abundance find me.

aha.pngOk so I resteemed a post that advertised "resteem for more followers".
Oops?

Look, steemit vets, I am a talented and established writer but in the steemit community I am a baby.
I am a tiny, crying, needy-but-cute-enough-to-survive-as-nature-intended-cling-on-steemit-baby.
It is what it is.

So I have committed an occasional Steemit "Faux Paux" and pardon my French if that is in fact, French. Excuse my buzz kill. Don't judge a steemit-baby by its resteems.

If I have offended the popular kids in class, I just don't think it matters. Why? I am a BABY, remember? Babies don't practice social skills.
I don't feel right apologizing for breaking the social rules to this game. I need a hazing! Or a ritualistic induction of some kind, if anyone is going to snob me for not knowing the ropes.
I do feel a little dorky but I didn't exactly get the memo.

I want more followers, more upvotes and more of the same thing we all want. Success, please, happen!

More than anything I want a monster delegation so I can curate the major players who deserve recognition, and to make my posts more visible.

Incentive to any whale who delegates to me : You name your terms! I got 124,000 impressions from my most recent tweet with my John McAfee interview. The ability is there- the anticipation is there. I am ready to bring it up a few notches. I need a backer, in my corner!

Round 1 ding ding

@lorilikes, read your reply on a friend's (Shello's) blog, and I decided to come see your blog myself. I could really relate to this post in more ways than one. I've had my fair share of the struggle to try getting at least a conversation going on my blogposts, and as well as the much coveted upvotes of users with tons of steempower.

It won't be easy, it will need the hours and hardwork. Let's see it as a cool new challenge we're up for. Let's stick to it and give to the community something valuable as frequent as possible and we'll become noteworthy.

Love your writing skills.
Wanna be friends? 😃

@pangoli You are precisely what I need in a friend. I love the vulnerable approach. It is hard to show up and say "Hi, will you be my friend?". In fact, some people have crippling anxiety over the fear of rejection- so they avoid the "ask" altogether. I commend your courage, and I truly strive for this same assertive style. I select the "yes" box. haha!

😃 well high five! Haha...

Following, closely.

🍪☕️the fun begins !

As the resident mayor of DORKville, I welcome you!!

From what I've seen, I think you have tremendous talent. Just keep being you and continue to post your cool and interesting perspectives!!

@jrb450 Timing is everything my friend. Your words “just keep being you” came right after someone told me I won’t be taken seriously because of my chat photo (It is a little sexy I guess). I started to really doubt myself and I considered it, genuinely for hours. I concluded that I don’t want to be serious. I am writing a cool post about it now. Thank you for being a cool support, right when I was about to Jump and land in a boring pants suit. (Don’t get me wrong I think suits looked amazing when I was working as a realtor, and as a pit boss in the casino. But I am a professional writer in Crypto. My motto is “The Most Entertaining Female Writer In Crypto”. I must have fun so I can keep saying that I have my dream job, without it being a lie. Haha 😆. You really saved my mood. Thank you. I gave you 100 percent upvote, just for being a positive light. 🦋

I'm positive I faux paux at least 3 times daily..

Ha ha at least you didn't say Faux times a day! You are funny.

It's my best quality..

Humor is the solution to many illnesses and war too. I swear to you, laughter is a medicinal phenomenon.

Great post lorilikes.....

And only ur one upvote is 0.43..

It is my own upvote lol !! I am a shameless self up-voter because if I don't promote me, why would anyone else?

Huh. That is one way to look at it I suppose. I personally think self-voting is the fast road to exactly nowhere. Have you ran into the concept of "Steemit is a gift economy" yet? Google that phrase and the username @stellabelle if you have not, and read the amazing article that will be the #1 result. While you are certainly not alone in self-voting, neither am I alone in finding it a pretty distasteful thing to do. I can pretty much guarantee you that you will get farther, faster, by focusing on boosting other people up and letting your own success come naturally as people realize that you are awesome and giving. I hope this isn't coming off as too preachy. I like your vibe in the post and there is a STEEP learning curve here, that is for certain. Much love - Carl

Thanks very much @Carlgnash for the info - it is precisely the type of honest coaching I need. I will look into this @stellabelle since it is the 138th time someone has mentioned her to me.
She must be a-maze-zing to boast such a fan club. I will soon, perhaps, join the cheering crowd. haha
I hear you about the gift economy. Hey, I will do an experiment. It will be about the self upvotes, and doing the opposite. It is too late for this post, because I already gave myself a boost, but I will try it starting today at 4:30. Thanks for inspiring the idea! = )

Awesome nice to see your last post with no selfvote. I think that was a terrific response to my comment. Consequently, I have added you to one of my alt account's fanbase autovote, so you will be seeing @beelzebub and associated friends upvoting all of your future posts 25 minutes after they are published. @beelzebub and co do not currently equal your own selfvote but they are not insignificant, and they will grow in the days to come as I regularly use a portion of my @curie finder's fees to power up my delegation rentals on various alt accounts.

I would also like to extend an offer to you - the next time you post something that you think is really awesome, and original, and you are posting it here on Steem blockchain first (not posted elsewhere online) please reply to me here with the link and I will promote it through one or another of the various curation organizations I am a part of. Much love - Carl

Wow, thanks so much! I will for sure keep you in mind for my next super-duper awesome post. Oh, oops- by replying without a link to such a post am I breaking the first rule of the fight club? Haha I hope not! 🤓. This just made my morning better.

Nah the first rule of @carlgnash is there are no rules, right? I will try to keep an eye on your posting anyway but I may miss this hypothetical super-duper awesome possum post while it is still fresh, so dropping me a link in reply will make sure I see it and can promote it appropriately. I check my replies religiously :) Much love - Carl

I love it when you do this Sir, finding someone who seems promising and assisting them in any way you can. And yeah, I've asked the same question before and I kept on getting the same reply; "Focus more on building others and let your success come naturally." frankly, it seems like quite a lot to take in, but it just might be the truth. I'll try my best on here. Glad you could help her.

@Lorilikes
You so so right my dear.....that the words of a mirror ........yes i look beautiful ....appreciating self........promoting self so others will......thats what i do.......

But your steem power is like a NUCLEAR BOMB.....VERY FAT....LIKE A GLOBAL FART LOL

A fart? No no no why a fart? lol That is a foul comparison my friend!! HAHA

Hmmm my bad
@lorilikes

Amen sister

I think I was the "inspiration" behind this post!

You were part of the inspiration. However you are not the only one issuing warnings to me on things I do that may be tacky or seen as uncool. It is a growing group lol . I think it is great and I welcome everyone to assert their thoughts. I am new at this so I like to point out the flaws and the positives of my own journey too. @omarf we are learning together.
