This is huge, and getting huger by the minute!
For those of you who do not already know, @papa-pepper is not what you would call a "computer guy." Most of the time, he's out in the wild on some sort of adventure, or at least he wants to be. Somehow, after joining steemit almost a year ago, @papa-pepper has kind of made his way to the front of the pack.
Obviously, I had some sort of role to play, but without all of the support that I get from all of you, this would have never been possible. To show exactly how well I am doing on steemit, let's look at some data quick.
8th Highest Overall
Recently, my reputation just made it all the way up to a 75. Now obviously that is just a number and my real reputation is made up of many other different elements, but how does that number fit into the steemit ecosystem.
If you follow this link here https://steemwhales.com/?p=1&s=reputation to steemwhales.com and check out the reputation listing, I am # 8. That means that out of everyone in the steemit community, somehow I currently have the 8th highest reputation of all. This is amazing to me, and I owe you all a HUGE THANKS for that.
10th Highest Overall
Also, if you look at the total number of followers by following this link here https://steemwhales.com/?p=1&s=followers to steemwhales.com, you will see that I am # 10. That means that out of everyone in the entire community, I have the 10th highest number of followers. Again, I cannot do that myself, it is only because of all of you.
75 STEEM GIVEAWAY
I did something similar when my reputation hit 74, and I'll do it again now as a way to do a bit of research and give back to the community.
Often, people ask me how I do so well on steemit. Obviously, I cannot control who upvotes my posts, so it is really not up to me. In many ways, it has more to do with everyone else. I can't make my followers, reputation, or wallet grow on my own. This all happens because of your support.
Therefore, I'll ask you the question: "Why do you think that @papa-pepper does so well on steemit?"
Please comment below with your answer. I'll wait about a day or more and then choose my favorite comment. Whoever made it will receive 75 STEEM for their efforts. Also, I'm not looking for praise here, I'm just wondering. Please answer honestly.
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
HEY GUYS! Upvote full steem. This man is trying to build a house for his family and do it debt free. He's an example of living the American Dream that we all can follow! Congrats on your achievement! FANTASTIC!

The reason you have found such wonderful success on this platform is:
You make "it" all about us.
My brother, you have mailed out insanely hot peppers 🌶 to fellow Steemians, you carefully craft excellent choose-your-own-adventure survival games which you invite us all to participate in, you teach us about nature, you generously share with us how to successfully contribute to the Steemit platform with your instructional videos...
Your success comes from your generosity and sagely making your contributions not about you and instead focus your intent externally, and direct your content for, and about, your readers.
Your massive success comes from both your outward focus and your tremendous generosity.
#papa-pepper-for-president 😉
Cheers to you brother, my sincere thanks for all that you do 🤝

I think the reason you're doing so well has three parts.
Hard work for a long time.
You've been plugging away on Steemit for months, even through the dip when everybody seemed to loose faith in the platform. You believed and stuck with it.
Constantly improving content.
Your content is good, and it's getting better all the time. Always incorporating new themes and kinds of content.
Momentum.
You've embodied the spirit of Steemit in your account. It is a snowball, and you are continually pushing it forward. You are doing exactly what the platform is designed for.
Well done @papa-pepper!
Well done.

Why is @papa-pepper so ridiculously popular on steemit?
Well, you're a fountain of knowledge. And not just worthless things that'll most likely never apply to us but might be kinda interesting to know. No. You teach us things that while we may go our entire lives without needing that information, should out lives take the direction of needing it, that information could easily be the difference between life and death.
Your series The Edible Outdoors is very interesting and holds very important information that everyone should really know. And you present it in a manner that's easy to absorb, easy to reference, and easy to understand. You don't really leave any important questions unanswered.
You teach us about homesteading. Which is another thing that is really important to know, whether your practice it or not. There may come a time in someone's life where homesteading becomes the only option to survival, and when that time comes, they may not have easy access to that information. But what you teach is easy to remember, and if they were paying any attention, they should at least be able to keep themselves alive.
You turned a survival-based critical thinking exercise into a choose your own adventure game. Whether or not they realize it, this game allows us the chance to make mistakes and die in game, but we get to analyse why we failed, and then we can try again the next game. Some decisions are more important than others, obviously, but overall, you're getting us thinking, and giving us a safe environment to practice the things we've learned without the risk of our failures being deadly.
Those things are all extremely important, but especially so given the current state of geopolitics and how it seems like things will only keep going downhill from here.
You also share your life with us. You don't just make posts, you're sharing your life and experience with us. You're also very, very interactive with the community and you're very generous. And it feels like you really care about this community.
Your handle shouldn't be Papa Pepper, it should be Papa Steemit.

In my opinion from least to most impactful reasons:
This is a message to everyone: if you want to succeed on Steemit, you have to have something that adds value to the block chain.
Since I have made original posts, take my time on them, and make sure they provide something to the community in some way or another... I have been overwhelmed with the response, and getting rewarded for hard work makes the payout feel so much more earned.
Anyways Steem on @papa-pepper, and cheers to your milestone.

I have thought a great deal about steemit in general and quite a bit about you specifically Pappa P.
I think about the elements that you bring together to form your own hot sauce, if you will.
You are an early adaptor
You have positioned yourself in expanding niche: homesteading/back to the earth movement
You have a nice writing style with a good mix of pictures and video.
You are a prolific poster with quality content
You have built a community because of your engagement. When I first got on You immediately gave me thoughtful responses and encouragement. -ty
All of these things in and of themselves are just the ingredients,
-I feel like you are a person,like myself that has been road tested. Maybe banged themselves up enough to realize a few things in life. Slapped across the face just the right amount. Lived a little as it were and you came out just fine, just the right mix of heat and smoke with some molasses and wild honey to balance the flavor.
Steem on Pappa P.

I'll ask you, how does a man like that not be blessed? The main reason why you're receiving a lot of blessings is that because you're giving a lot. You are the true definition of a person with God intervention. Giving without asking in return, but giving because that's what your heart tells you.
This clearly reminded me how the bible says, give and you will receive 77 times what you had given. Thank you @papa-pepper. Truly, a man for Steemit community.

Poeh, it's gonna take you some time to go through all these comments... good luck with that ;)
I think your success comes from a lot of factors. The obvious ones being consistency and dedication over a long period of time.
Okay, you're more often in the wilderness than behind the computer. But you keep returning to the computer so you keep your audience posted. We never know what animal you'll introduce us to next and while you're playing crocodile dundee we're waiting: which keeps us interested.
By being in the wilderness often you offer something interesting for all of the people that spend more time behind the computer than in the wilderness (obviously quite a lot of people these days).
In addition, you come up with creative challenges and competitions like the wild and strange contest and the steem-pocalypse survival game. Getting people involved and therefore investing in the community. I really love the steem-pocalypse survival game btw but somehow I keep missing the sign up... Shoot, haha! To be continued ;)
Furthermore, from what I've seen so far you're a good man. Helping out others, both digitally and the old fashioned way. A hard working man. You interact with people: You appear easy to approach. And you're honest about why you do things. Transparant, so people can relate.
Maybe most importantly: you're having fun doing it! You can't fake that.
I think all these things together make up the great steemian you are today.
Thank you for being a great part of this awesome community and keep up the good work ;) Congrats on this epic milestone! On your way to becoming a whale.
I, as a guppy, salute you.

Ok, so I´ve been on Steemit for aprox 24 hours.. So obviously I wont have a very good insight why @papa-pepper does so well on Steemit.
However after checking your blog I´m thinking it must be...
“The Wild-man’s Wild Friends”!!
Or your beard! Or probably a combination! Yes, that´s it! :)
But, seriously, I checked out a few of those videos and they were sweet!
Plus off course you seem like a guy that´s likable and that care and try to help other people. To me at least that´s the kind of people I´d want to engage with.
So anyways. Again, congrats and well done!

You instantly consider @papa-pepper as a friend. For many, he's certainly a guardian angel.
His videos are educative, funny, light-hearted, informational - they come in so many forms, And the effort he puts into each of his posts shows. It sets a benchmark for all of us to follow, we learn from him, we gain so much from him.
For me personally, @papa-pepper is a role-model. There is so much I can add, but for now, I just end it saying @papa-pepper is a steemit superstar, a true legend.
congratulations for the milestone, well-deserved!

Congratulation on your achievement! You are selfless, honest, truthful, grateful, humble, You have helped the little guys here on steemit to write better posts and have guided others to become minnows and dolphins. You write about your own experiences in life and the nature around you. That is interesting to people because maybe they can not do what you do or they themselves are too afraid to make a change in their life. You inspire people to be better then they are. To over come fear they may have to make a change.
Congrats Again. I wish you and your family the best life has to offer.
Peace to all and have a great day!

I freakin love your tagline, "Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com"
Such an epic phrase to peak people's interest in Steemit.
This leads me to why you are so successful on here; it is because you understand influence and how to obtain and use it.
Looking forward to more content from you buddy

I think you do so well because you seem like a legendary character. You go out in nature and take close up pictures with snakes, raccoons, turtles, and other wild animals. Like the Steemit version of Steve Irwin. You take beautiful photographs of the natural world. You have a great community spirit and do things to bring steemers together like your contests. You are friendly and always comment when people leave you comments. You do so well because you make this place better and people adore your work because of it.

I think @papa-pepper does so great on the site because you are genuinely invested in your content. You know you have a place in the community and you don't try to take advantages of your reputation to rack it in for yourself. You conduct yourself in a hospitable manner to the entire community (which I can't say for all whales) and you never forget to give back to the minnows and dolphins who support you. Overall you're just a swell guy, and you give inspiration to others to succeed with your content.

@papa-pepper, on a multi-daily basis, provides original, thought-provoking, entertaining, educational, well-formatted, sincere, honest, and above all interesting content. His reputation stands as a testament to this, and steemit would be a far, far poorer place without him. That's why you do so well, papa. Well done, sir.

Because @papa-pepper engages the community in ways that others don't. Most importantly, @papa-pepper gives.
"If you give more, you have more."
Sounds counterintuitive but it is the truth. Giving makes @papa-pepper have more (reputation, followers and Steems).

Awesome @papa-pepper !
For me, you show that nature and man are not as separated as we've all grown up believing. You're showing us a world where simple understanding, knowledge, curiosity and hard-work can bridge the gap between man and nature.
You are showing us, also, a way of life that is both old and new.
To a lot of people, homesteading made us think (before we followed your adventures ;) ) that it was somehow one or the other. Technology or Nature, and that we couldn't have both.
You're showing us a vision where homesteading is simply a more meaningful way to live life, disassociation our daily life from all that makes our modern societies so stressful, connecting with our families, but still keeping in touch with technology.
TL;DR: You are showing us that homesteading is not an extreme, but a viable option, even if we're not ready to sever all ties with technology.
Just my take on your importance to the community :)
PS: You're also showing us that even the most dangerous seeming animal can live in relative harmony with us if we understand them. Something a lot of people in our modern society needs... Too many see it as a Us or Them battle.

I found you because you were running the survival game. So for me, the fact that you tell interesting, interactive stories is why you do so well on Steemit. I have furthermore heard about you being a kind, generous gift-giver from others, so presumably that is another reason. And finally your focus seems to be on developing community, which is why I'm here in the first place (and thank you for your donation to the open mic; I'm pumped, and I hope, even if I can't find Steemians to come to the open mic, I can get the people at the open mic to join Steem so they can try to win the prize!).

Dang, 75 Rep & 4000 followers. Honestly, I think what has set you a part from a lot of the people at this community is your authenticity. I think without that you wouldn't have had and continue the success that you have had here.
You've had the ability to make people care about subjects that they normally wouldn't even give a second thought about!

Well done @papa-pepper.
Why do you do so well?
I think it is your enthusiasm, and down to earth way of delivering content.
It's raw and unpolished. To people coming from the likes of Facebook where most of the content is professionally written, and / or staged, your posts are refreshing and real.
You are a likeable character, and it is fun to see just what you and the other peppers are going to get up to next.

You are honest, a little crazy, kind and your posts are varied, inspiring and fun. Your faith speaks a million words through your actions. You reach out to people without them asking and love to help when you can (I still love my Hope Huggs signature you did for me when I was greenie steemie, when I remember to include it). You are someone that everyone can learn something from.

Your posts are loaded with adventure. But I believe that is only part of the story. A successful account is being visited by many in the network particularly to connect and boost themselves. I don't like it but this is how it works here. Don't get me wrong, I love Steemit but I think there should be a better way to spread posts and content for a beginner.

Honestly.. It's because you're sincere and honest. You came from a selfish background and allowed this amazing platform to humble you....and the community has fallen in love with it. Add to that, you do so much for this community and those that are new to it. I for one have learned much from you and it's inspired me to no end.
