I've been getting a few extra days off work these past few weeks as I'm getting ready to move into my new home. And when that happens, I get to spend a lot more time back on the blockchain. There's something very comforting for me, to sit behind the computer at my desk with a cup of coffee in hand and fire up Threads!
Yeah it's safe to say...I still have a passion for this stuff :)
And something I thought I could talk about today is a technique that's available for every single person on chain. And it doesn't require huge stake, but it does require some elbow grease. And this technique, when used properly, can essentially translate into massive success in this community.
But first, a little backstory about someone a lot of you may know, but if you are new here, this name might not ring a bell.
His name is @nathanmars
This is Nathan.
This guy was arguably one of the most important people this blockchain ever produced and anyone he met on chain, instantly became a fan of his. He jumped on chain back when it was still 'steem' and had a passion unlike anything you ever have seen before.
He was everywhere. And he supported so many people here. While he wasn't a whale in the sense of the word, he did have a large stake and supported people with his delegation and upvotes. He truly was the salt of the earth and sadly, a lot of us are not sure what happened to him.
But why am I bringing him up for this little blog post of mine....
Because of the two things he did that anyone else can do.
He was everywhere! Commenting, making blog posts, promoting the chain to everyone that would listen. He became the face of promoting web 3 on web 2.
He supported people with encouragement and saw the best in everyone.
Be everywhere. Support your fellow community members.
That's the technique right there, and hopefully his example hits home with someone reading this blog post. You see, if you want to get more upvotes, more traction, more comments, more engagement....Give it!
If you want to get supported. Support. Be the change you want to see right here, right now. I wish it was more complicated than that, and I wish I could charge $49.99 a month for this advice lol But seriously, most people won't. They will say what can the blockchain do for me, rather than what can I do for this blockchain community.
And here's a super easy tip to get you started....It's a lot easier to get noticed and support within the $LEO community than anywhere on chain or even in web 2. And it's still super early to this stuff, so if you want to make an impact right now, and build a solid reputation for being just an awesome person, don't look much further than right here.
And if anyone knows how to get a hold of Nathan...Let him know we miss him and hope he is doing well!

I remember Nathan and it sucks to see that he is not around. He was amazing as a person and very outgoing. I agree that being outgoing is the way to build a following.
Such a valuable member of the community. He is greatly missed.
I heard he went through some personal stuff, probably with his family, immigration and all in the UK, and he's not been active online for a long time. I hope he's okay and gets to come back someday
Yeah that's the last I heard too. Sent him a note on Twitter a few months ago, I'll try to reach out again and see if he's around.
This is good advice. Commitment to the chain is always useful.
The best way to win long term here!
The little things matter. Supporting and commenting on this platform goes a long way. Well, I don’t make so many comments everyday but I’m able to get something out of the comments I make daily and that’s how it should be
I try to make sure I respond to every comment I get, but there I times...I completely forget lol
Omg that's an OG right there! I am lucky that I got the opportunity to talk to him even just in "online person"! Lol
I hope he's ok and ofc he's missed on the 'chain :)
yeah, miss the guy. hope he's doing ok.
!BBH !DIY !DOOK
You just got DOOKed!
@pepetoken thinks your content is the shit.
They have 15/400 DOOK left to drop today.
Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩
Being everywhere is hard to do, but potentially so worth it. Even if you don't "succeed" monetarily, you will succeed personally!
Yeah it really is. The rewards might not be there right away but they do show up
That's some golden advice you've given and I've been trying my best to follow it though I consider my efforts still underwhelming. But when I have more free time in the future I will give more support on hive like @nathanmars did and clearly he's an inspiration. Thanks for writing and have a fantastic week.
You too, thanks for stopping by!
@jongolson! @pepetoken likes your content! so I just sent 1 BBH to your account on behalf of @pepetoken. (17/100)
