Hey Everyone!
My name is Jessica. I am 35 years old from the West Coast of Canada - Born and raised.
My home town from my visit a couple weeks ago and took this photo from the fishing dock:
I love the concept of this site... I am ( like most on here, I'm sure) a tech, internet enthusiast & paid geek. My job main job is to teach people how to use Apple products but I have a few side jobs as well... a social media marketing & online presence consultant, tech consultant and am also a headshot photographer. Basically if it's geeky and I have to touch a computer to get it done... I'll probably take it on ;)
I'm not sure what topics I should focus on here at Steemit since I assume most of you are keen on technology and probably know everything already and I usually teach people who are afraid of it but please, let me know if any of my jobs interest you, I'd really appreciate to know what you all would like to hear about. I welcome any content inspiration.
To continue the visuals in my intro... Here's an example of my photo work:
I have only gotten into the crypto/blockchain world in the last couple months and I find it absolutely fascinating! So excited for our future if this is a glimpse of what is to come. Projects like Golem, IOTA, EOS... tinkle my geek fancy to the extreme ha.
I am also excited to explore this Steemit world. How long has it been around? Does everyone know everyone already? Am I too late to make friends? Do people on here make friends with each other? ha.
Anywho- I look forward to using this platform and I hope my introduction was adequate.
Sincerely,
Jessica
P.S. Can you say in your reply if you are human :) so many bots!
Nice to see you on steemit :D
Have a great day.

The random roller is amazing, I've certainly made more than I've lost, gets too fun. Worth checking out when you have extra STEEM and are bored in need of a small gamble. Just keep the amount low and probability high.
hello Favouritegeek!! Glad to see more people like you - here joining steemit ! Becoming a steamian is a great adventure ! Here you can win money while bloging ! At the beginning it wouldn't be easy, but it isn't impossible. So just write from your heart and everything will be allright. ! Cheers! Wish you much luck! Greetings, @khunpoom !
Hi awe Thank you @Khunpoom
That's really cool. How do you win money for blogging?
Hi @favouritegeek, Welcome to Steem, remember me when you are rich :]
Thanks for the welcome! but... I don't know you now so I likely won't remember you when i'm a billionaire :p
Welcome Jessica
Thank you!
Hey @favouritegeek !!
welcome to steemit............nice to know about you:)
best of luck fir the next!!
Hey! @fatema thank you very much :)
you'er welcome:)
Hi. I am a volunteer bot for @resteembot that upvoted you.
Your post was chosen at random, as part of the advertisment campaign for @resteembot.
@resteembot is meant to help minnows get noticed by re-steeming their posts
Even better: If your reputation is lower than 28 re-steeming only costs 0.001 SBD!
If you want to learn more - read the introduction post of @resteembot.
If you want help spread the word - read the advertisment program post.
There's a lot of bots on here... are there real people here as well? lol Is there a code world for human?
Hey!
I followed you, welcome to SteemIt!
The bots are to help newcomers and it is relatively recent. Trust me, you would prefer having bots boosting your posts and top posts being around 500 rather than a small group of whales with 1000-10000 posts and not being able to get money from the site.
Fair enough. Just when you're used to a chat site like yahoo being ruined by bots it makes me nervous :) I appreciate the positivity tho
No problem :) basically the bots give us both benefits. You get more curation and we get more content. It seems, though, that it is also working against itself.
For example, I can't upvote due to "not having enough voting weight" which is indicative of attempts to reduce spam content because you will have a few whales with like 300 some accounts auto spamming the whales into big numbers.
There's no easy way to have a decentralized system of payment without the hand of the free market giving favor to few at the expense of many.
Welcome,I'm new here also.
Wishing you all the best on your steemit journey!
Hi @kamalee Welcome to you too then :) and Back at you too! Thank you very much.
welcome to steemit fellow canadian... I'm from Quebec... ;) I for one am not a tech geek and know some people here who are not either, so if you have some things to teach us don't hesitate :) I'll be following you
Yay, you gave a very human response :) Thanks @jamisa . I'm from BC. Oh really? How did you discover steemit? I only heard about it through crypto. That's encouraging that some people may still need my help though. Are you an Apple user by chance?
Yes I am! :) ...I have an Iphone 6s...I discovered steemit trough a friend of my husband who used to work with him...He quit his job because he made it big on steemit, so it's encouraging! hahaha
Oh yay. I will definitely do some iOS content then. I'm really excited about iOS 11 so maybe something about that. Wow yep definitely encouraging lol. what is his name on here? I'll have to check him out.
It's @teamsteem
@favouritegeek - Welcome to the Steemit community and you are right about crypto world, it's really very fascinating. Looking forward to see more posts from you.

@favouritegeek - - I just upvoted you.
Stay Connected!
For example, I would not have been able to find you if the bot didn't randomly pump you. You would have had your post way down in obscurity.
Nice to see someone from our lovely neighbor joining! How's West Canada?
Well fair enough then. I see a lot of them so was curious the reasoning, all the bots seem to be nice hah. West Canada is stinking hot! but beautiful thanks :) Which neighbour are you?
USA. And, yeah SteemIt is having a big whale greed issue that the developers are trying to figure out ways to fix without encouraging whales to leave or newcomers to give up on the website.
Hello and welcome! (This message is from a non-bot human)
Hello Joseph! thanks human! haha
Hey Jessica! Thanks again for leaving me a comment on my intro post! I loved getting to know you from reading your introduction post. I really like your photography work! Those are some good headshots! :) I am fairly new to the whole blockchain/cryptocurrency as well! I hope we both make some friends on this platform and I agree with you about the bots! So many of them! Anyways, glad to have connected with a fellow human!

Hi Crissy, Nice to meet you too fellow human hah. I think the season has calmed down a bit and I'll have more time to be on here. Thanks so much - glad you like it. I will be shooting a music festival this weekend so perhaps will post some shots from that if I get time after.
Welcome to the community Jessica! I am just me, not sure if I can accurately complete your request as I have been accused of not being a human a few times because I have defied the laws of the living according to several doctors ;)
Steemit is a wonderfully supportive and encouraging community, you will enjoy it here :) I know what it's like to be the new kid, so I am here to tell you I will sit with you at lunch ;) I post a lot of "Minnow" support and tips for newbies, so please feel free to check out my older posts, and if you have any questions please ask :)
Great to have you join! I look forward to reading your posts :)
Hi Arbitrary Kitten, Nice to meet you thanks for not being a "Mean Girl" to the "New Kid", what's for lunch? lol. Also, what's Minnow? I will check your posts for sure thanks.
A minnow is what Steemit refers to a Newbie as. There's Minnows- new kids, Dolphins- in the middle, and Whales- the top cats at Steemit :)
