Introduce Yourself In The Comments.. Meet Others and Compare Interests.

in #meetup6 years ago (edited)

One of the most common complaints I hear from people with young accounts is it is difficult to find a following.  I agree it is difficult to find others who might be interested in your posts.  Don't feel too bad even those of us who have built an audience are feeling like readers are a bit scare right now.

Let's try this...  (I have no idea if it will be effective)


Make a comment giving a short description of who you are and what you write about.  I'm not looking for your real life name, but rather who you are on Steem and what you are about and interested in.

One of the reasons I quit myspace and moved to Facebook was how easy Facebook made it in the early years to find your friends and those who held the same interests.  It was a lot more fun to engage with people who I either knew or had shared interests with.

I encourage you (on this post only to) drop a link and a description of yourself in the comments.  If you drop one, also find someone else to follow.  It is a slightly organized follow4follow post.

I will highlight the 10 introductions that I find the most interesting and there might be bonuses as well.

It's just an experiment, take a minute post about your interests and if you think it might be helpful give it a resteem.

Who knows you might find a new supporter as well.

Meet up in the comment section.

Feel free to invite others to your discord servers as well while you are at it, give your own a comment an upvote if you like!  Have a little fun, let your hair down.

Hi all! I initially came here as a means to earn some crypto but it’s evolved into so much more than that, leaving it behind so many other benefits.

I’d say the majority of the pieces deal with the world of comics and toys...movies and television. Things along that nature. I’m a giant child that’s made a few films and owns a comic and toy shop so those things along with my animals, and family & friends are what keeps me waking up in the morning.

I’m very active here so if any of that stuff interests ya, please feel free to hit me up and talk about some nerd shit. Check out my profile and see if any of my nonsense tickles your fancy. Would love to meet some fans who maybe lost their passion along the way or have never even considered picking up a comic. You’d be surprised how much you might enjoy it!!

Blewitt

If you own a toy shop , do u have the ability to MAKE toys? or u just resell them?

because we have a HUGE potential demand for steem toys, plastic steem logo figurines with arms and legs than you can adjust and move... (Imagien a steemlogo a btc and an eos and bitshares logo all just hangin out on your dekstop like office toys ! :D ) and steem buttons stickers, but especially likl steem logos in 3d plastic injected molded, we just need lots of lil steem logos evrywhere

That's a great idea!

Sadly I just own the shop that sells toys. Buuuuuut...Steemit’s very rockstar @saywha just got a 3D printer. Perhaps he could weigh in a bit??

Haha, a giant child should fit right in. I've already started to get used to seeing your name around. You I suspect will do well!

Thank so much!! Yeah I’ve seen yours as well since I’ve been on here which is about 3 months. I’m trying to connect with folks. Happy with the progress I have made so far. The community I’m in for the most part is pretty small but really supportive. We all look out for each other here. Sucks to see involvement decrease though when the price tanks a bit. I’m trying to take adbantage of it by churning out stuff on the regular. Thanks for the follow. I look forward to chatting with ya more but for now I’m going to bed. Lol. I just wrote and posted a long and mentally exhausting piece. Drained. G’night!!!!

Hi there! @blewitt I just sent you a free booster pack of Steem Monster cards! You can go to steemmonsters.com to open them up! I think you will love them, it is a new collectible trading card game with battles coming soon on the Steem blockchain! There is also a Discord you will like once you get into the Monsters! https://discord.gg/G2RtTSj

Yeah I’ve seen it around but don’t normally play. I’ve been interested to at least check it out so I know a bit about it. So thank you! I truly appreciate this gesture. I’ll let you know this week when I finally sit down and check it out! You rule!

We have a saying around here, " Come for the money, stay for the community" ....

Stay for the Crypto and Community :)

Thats my mantra too :) we want more people like this! Those who come for the money and stay for the money are often a drain on the system :P

That’s pretty much what’s it’s become. Don’t get me wrong...one of the goals is to build up my account to where it allows me freedoms to do the things I want and envision but it’s become so much more than that. The satisfaction I get when someone actually likes something I contributed is fantastic.

You own a toy shop? - Do you have military miniatures (plastic? airfix or revell - lots of others)
Did I ask you this already, sorry?

My current military figures are bamboo chopsticks, painted! (I kid you not)
😂 😂

daily patriot.jpg

That’s awesome! I have 0 talent when it. Ones to this kind of stuff. I love seeing it though.

Sadly our shop isn’t really a hobby shop but more of a comic book and toy store. Action figures, funko pops, statues, t-shirts, graphic novels. Things like that. We don’t really do the models. Hell, even gaming we are very limited with as there are so many gaming shops in our area.

Those are so awesome!

...talking about nerd shit - could you recommend a good program for drawing hex campaign maps (idiot proof, and free - I'll be using it)

Lol...here is where I disappoint you! That is some next level nerd shit that I know nothing about sadly. My brain is filled with tons of useless geek stuff but that...I am clueless on. I’m so sorry. I blewitt.

😂😂👍 👍

Hey @whatsup. I'm @Gersonsucks!

I enjoy writing and making music, it is therapeutic for me. It's kinda like writing in my diary or journal and then expressing it out loud. I post my songs on @dsound and they are more of a sad hiphop type genre just to warn you if you go looking at my sounds :)

I recently was living in Southern California running a medical @cannabis business with 2 greenhouses that I had to build from the ground up ( I should make a post about that) that also did thc extractions, but laws change and so we had to adjust to them. Hence, why I am back in Illinois.

I also plan on getting on @dlive and streaming whenever I work on a song or just game to meet new people. I am getting obsessed with @steemmonsters thanks to @clove71 and the rest of the @steemspeak community! I'm still waiting for my first gold foil card, but it will come with time :)

My Introduction post is https://steemit.com/introduction/@gersonsucks/hello-steemit-i-m-gerson if you want to know more!

It's nice to meet everyone!

I enjoy writing and making music, it is therapeutic for me

I was sold on this first sentence! Music is life! Im into people who like to make and share music so I will follow you and check out your page :)

Welcome gersonsucks! It's been fun to meet you on SteemSpeak.

Awesome beat in I miss you :)

Thank you! It's a special song for me

Glad you found Banjo :)

Banjo hates me for testing his gangster

Word! Nice to meet ya too bro I’m on Dsound a lot myself @gersonsucks

Nice pic, the cannabis community has grown massively since i joined steemit a year ago, be sure to use cannabis tag, there is also a canna curate group

I'll go first! I'm @mazzle and I write about beer (a lot!) and sometimes crypto stuff. I also write about wildlife photography and occasionally something deep and potentially dark about life in general.

I was doing video but have now started writing in Steem Press for something new and different.

I've been on Steemit for a while now, since October last year. So I'm not really new, I just like finding new content creators to follow and engage with. :)

nice to meet you @mazzle

Haha, given that I've shaken your hand in a bar I don't think this is our first time meeting. :P

Really? Dang it. I was so excited... Its working, it's working! haha.

Haha I think it is working for you, @itstime and I both live in Melbourne, Australia.

let's try again..take 2

Its nice to meet you @whatsup ..appreciate the meetup effort

Ha! That was fun and nice to meet you. I've followed you and look forward to checking out your blog.

wow, what an interesting coincidence or do you just follow each other in comment and support as well as the local bar? LOL Too funny!!

We have Steemit meet ups in Melbourne from time to time which are quite neat. I had no idea that so many Aussies were on Steemit until I started going to the meet ups.

@mazzle oh so niceeee!!! lucky you and they must be lovely. :)

Aye, @erodedthoughts have you two met? You (and @irreverent-dan who also posts a lot about beer) are the people I probably feel can relate to @mazzle :D

Hey lady, how are things?

Awesome I believe... Arm is healing and I am doing more here :)

I follow @irreverent-dan. We participate in a weekly beer contest. :)

Awesome :)

I like beer! lol My buddy back in South Carolina is actually pursuing a career in the brewing industry. He has been home brewing for a couple of years now. He recently won first place at the local beer festival with his Taco beer. Gave you a follow so I can see what stuff you recommend in the future.

Awesome! I started homebrewing a little while ago as well. I greatly doubt I'm on the same skill level as your friend though. I've had a taco flavoured beer before. It was very different. :)

Lol I really like beer but I do enjoy wildlife photography. I'm sure we can reach a middle ground or something. Following you @mazzle and @itistime. I look forward to engaging. Kindly follow back if you can tolerate my content

Hello everyone! I'm nini, I like art since I was a girl, I like to draw and paint a lot, also sing and dance. I also like horror and science fiction movies. I love animals and I would like to form a foundation to protect those who leave the streets. I am a student of business administration and I would like so much to travel around the world!♥

Art is always in high demand and check out reddust.

Check out @eye4art from Monday :)

Hey everyone! I just started steemit this week! I'm a PhD student and I love taking photos. I'm planning on writing a series of blogs on obscure histories of everyday objects and symbols. I'm new to creative writing and this platform seems like a perfect way to hone in on the skill.

Here's a short article I wrote about the history of the Barber's Pole https://steemit.com/life/@capra/the-gruesome-history-of-the-barber-s-pole-ddb6e5e0fcafbest

Hi @capra Welcome to Steemit. Your choosen niche is very interesting. Hope to get interesting topics from you. Cheers

Hi @capra looking forward to seeing what type of photos you re taking! Yes, this is a perfect place to hone in on your skills.

Hey @capra :) Welcome to the community. If you write check out those who do five minute free writes with @mariannewest or follow @isleofwrite here and on discord https://discord.gg/juRSAdx to learn even more on writing contests and writing communities. This is just one of them to help you maneuver :)

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, will do!

Hey guys,
I'm new on Steemit. About a week ago I started to use it but at the beginning I have seen Steemit only a way to earn son cryptocurrencies. During this week I understood that it is much more.
Now I'm using Steemit more then Instagram and Facebook, it's very interesting and it has an amazing community

During my free time I play basketball and take some photos. Moreover I'm addicted to TV Series and I'm interested about Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies.
So if you want to see some amazing photos or to read some articles about basketball, blockchain or crypto follow me and tell me what you think about what I do. Now I'm really active
I write also in Italian

Huge basketball fan here too. I've been enjoying NBA free agency this offseason so far. Do you follow the NBA as well or only local leagues in your country?

Both. NBA offseason is really interesting. I'm a Lakers fan since I was a child and I'm really happy to see what happened. I hope in an amazing season (also for 76ers)

As a Lakers fan you must be excited about the Lebron James signing. It will be interesting to see if they can add another star for him to play with either this year or next year.

The perfect star to buy in my opinion is Kawhi Leonard but in this moment a trade is really unfair. Probably next year come (I hope)
GSW is unbelievable

Yea I agree he would be a good fit alongside Lebron. I think they will end up waiting until next year to make another big move in free agency. Klay Thompson is a name I am hearing that could go play there next year.

Klay would be really amazing. I love him like a player, fantastic shooter and super solid player

Welcome! We have a few others who are Italian. Hopefully someone will tag them.

Nice to meet new arrivals, where one lives does not really matter, we all live under the same blue sky...

Yes I have already seen them. Thank you

Now I'm using Steemit more then Instagram and Facebook, it's very interesting and it has an amazing community

Basically, EVERYONE IS! welcome , welcome!

Hello all! Thanks for the great idea @whatsup!

Quick rundown: Father | U.S. Air Force veteran | Sports Fanatic | Amateur Photographer | Sports Performance Coach | Interested in all things (literally)

While my steemit account is almost a year old (343 days) I have only been active on it for a little over a month. Life got real busy last year as I was finishing up my B.S. in Exercise Science, completing an internship for a top Sports Performance company, and preparing for the arrival of my daughter Oaklyn all at the same time. Clearly I had no free time for blogging. The good news is now I do!

I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community and building relationships with a lot of you. If you have some free time check out my introduction post or some of my most recent posts below. Enjoy your weekend!✌️

Check out my most recent work

• You are posting too often. Yes YOU!
• Ulog #2 - The rich get richer.
• NBA Free Agent Frenzy - Day 1
• U.S. Soccer = Pay to Play
• Casa Grande Domes - Tourist attraction, ritualistic satanic worship location, or both?

Nice, congrats on your recent activity. If you can carve out a niche and audience right now, with price and activity being a little low, imagine how it will be when we get active again!

Thanks @whatsup! I've really enjoyed the journey thus far. Carving out a niche is going to be the difficult part for me as I have countless interest, but I'm optimistic. I'm in it for the long run so we will see what happens.

Nice @ross-early, you had me at veteran. Following

I followed you as well. 😁

Hello @whatsup and all other Steemians here,
my name is Tom (Thomas), only my mum call me Thomas, hehehe..
I live in Thailand since 8 years now, but made in Germany😜
Travel, photography, spiritualism, nature and animals are my passion.
A truthfinder since a long time, honest and straight.
On Steemit I signed up August last year, but started posting since December.
I can agree, here on Steemit it's not so easy to find true followers for newbees, it's sometimes sad to see when new users writing nice posts and get 0 audience.
I support any similar initiative like yours @whatsup and hope there will come soon changes in the Steemit system, like upvotes, flags, bots etc. all is not perfect until now, but I think all is on a good way.
Here is a link to my latest #ulog post, #ulog is a creation of @surpassinggoogle, thanks again from here.

Best regards and a wonderful weekend to all here
Much Love

Great to meet you! Have a great weekend also

Hello!

My name is @eaglespirit and I've been on Steemit since around Thanksgiving (American). I love to write about a lot of different things that include but not limited to contests, poetry, travel, food, north native american culture, fiction and non-fiction.

My latest post is the last fundraiser I held for the National Alliance on Mental Illness for those suffering from depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, racism and to bring awareness. It's important that people do not feel alone.

https://steemit.com/psychology/@eaglespirit/don-t-suffer-in-silence-donation-proof-of-payout-to-national-alliance-on-mental-illness

I'm a first time blogger and I hold many interests so please feel free to Meetup! :)

Yours,
Eagle Spirit

I think I've seen you around. :) I'm very glad you've stopped by and are participating.

@whatsup oh hey, fancy seeing you here. hehe
yes, i figured i'd join in and possibly make some friends and give some upvotes. :)

@eaglspirit definitely following. Thank you @whatsup for this, if I had known this would besuch fun, I'd have checked out other comments earlier

@empress-eremmy hi there, thank you for the meetup and this is my first time around too. woot

I call myself 'the geeky guitarist'. Technology and music are my main interests, but I'm also a runner. I work with computers for a living, but the other things are just for fun. I've been writing songs for a few years and am active in the Open Mic contests.

I joined Steemit after using Tsu that also paid users. Steemit just seemed like a great idea that could change the world. I want to see it succeed and I've been doing my best to promote it as well as helping other users.

Steem on!

One of the best and calmest people in the community. Right here ^

@steevc you are the best!

@steevc shocked to see even you participating. The empress Jodie humbly follows you

Why not? I enjoy building connections

Am a bit late to the party, oh well. Am a bit of an all rounder here on steem. My blog consists of a bit of passion, activism and a lot of philosophy. I consider myself someone with diverse interests and despite calls to stick to a niche, I still love it that way.

I also consider steem a long term investment so I keep powering up with any rewards I get.

I am thinking about starting a community of just 50 redfishes and minnows interested in growth called ANGRYREDFISHES, for those who believe the community has a role to play On this platform.

Thank you @whatsup for this post, you've given us an opportunity to network even this way. I'll be going through the comments a little later to find like minds so feel free to comment If you want to be part of the redfishes community or you liked my interests, followed me and want a follow back

It's never too late. :) I see you all over the place and I know you are going to do great.

Hi everyone, the name is @delani, still an aspiring Surveyor but somehow gets hooked on writing LOL. Joined Steemit about 7 months ago but then lost my log in details about 4 months ago but with the help of my ever supporting community @steemnaira, and @bcrafts, I got logged on back this week. I'm a news addict which drove me to opening a website (delaniblog.com.ng), I also write everything that comes to mind and often pour all my emotions into writing, feel free to stop by often as I start steeming again. CHEERS

A surveyor of land? Nice combination of skills. I used to know a group of surveyors, they were a fun group. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, a land surveyor (Geoinformatics also). The pleasure is all mine.

Holy cow that is interesting land surveyor ? You need to write a post about what was the most interesting land you've ever survey'd.

Really?
Lol, I'm still an undergrad, but part of what we've practiced I'll say leveling a land before a construction is pretty interesting, yunno, using a level to check the land for where to cut from and where to fill and all those stuffs, it's interesting in its on way. Thanks for asking @steemitqa

Hello everyone! I am @donna-metcalfe and I like to think about things and then write about them. Well, I think about all sorts of things and I only write about some of them. Some things I talk about and then think, I could write about that! Some things I think about and then think, hmm, I probably shouldn't share those thoughts with anyone. But I digress.

I write about things that interest me, and that covers a lot of ground. (One thing I was never interested in was cryptocurrency, until I found Steemit!) I started out writing about my garden, and I still do, but lately I've been writing more about spiritual stuff. I don't know how interesting that is for other people.

I love to learn about other people's lives, how they look at things, how they think about things. It's always a great day when I learn something new! I love words and writers who use words well. If they make me laugh that's a bonus.

The first thing I read from you @whatsup was about the mouse in your house. I didn't know it was not your usual kind of post but it made me laugh and I always like to see what you are thinking about and writing about. Even though it is sometimes serious. I would like people to think about me that way - "Oh boy, here's something new from @donna-metcalfe! I can't wait to see what she's written now!

In the meantime I just wander around here and enjoy myself.

Nice to meet you @donna-metcalfe

Haha, Love to see people wandering around having fun. That is usually my niche as well.

It's a niche? I didn't know it could be a niche - that's awesome! (singing quietly to myself) tra la la I have a niche la la!

Believe me having fun is a niche on Steem. The fun seekers have to avoid the mad mobs.

Mad as in angry? Or insane? :-}
Either way, I'll just be sitting over here ignoring all that. So many nice people here and I choose to associate with them.

Hi everyone, I am a Computer Engineer. I work as an I.T. in a private company. I love reading articles around the internet particularly about technology, sports, current events, movies, photography and many more.

Here in Steemit I always post tutorial articles about computers, internet, security, programming and of course, once in a while, photography.

I guess i can do this!

I'm a nerd, i like tech, programming, history and games of course! I hang out around Steem a lot and Steem basically killed/replaced my Reddit addiction, in Reddit I was mostly a lurker but around here i post and comment more often :^)

I Hang out in a lot of Discord servers but my main one is the Crypto Empire!

Hi, @ lunaticpandora! Nice to meet another Reddit to Steemit convert. I do think that Steemit is a bit more encouraging when it comes to comments and interaction. Case in point.

Agreed, you feel more encouraged to comment here but reddit was already becoming to much of a politics propaganda place after a while, lots of places to evade :^)

True that. I also somehow became more inclined to comment on other social media after being on steemit, though. Whether it's just reaching out to your favourite artist on instagram or to some profession leaders on LinkedIn, the interactivity here kinda leads you to be more open on other platforms too.

funny seeing you here froggy!! :p

I'm everywhere!

@lunaticpandora yeah yeah ... are kissing butt again? bwhahahaahahah

I don't kiss butt! I lick it with my long, slimy frog tongue!

013117_SM_frog-tongue_main_free.jpg

Hehehe following!

@lunaticpandora okay that is totally YOU, funny and yuck for that gross tongueee ewwww

Another face that is out and around! :) Engaging. Seems like it is working.

We like Nerds around here @lunaticpandora :)

If you want to hang out with some fellow steemian nerds we have SteemSpeak on Discord to fill that need.

The name is @tezmel and I am a poet. Sometimes I also do stories and deep dark pieces. I usually say, writing is my own therapy and I use it to heal myself of a painful past. I am also very interested in Art so my timeline usually has many resteemed good art posts.

That said, I am also currently working with a small team to revive a project that used to support less earning artists @eye4art :) Officially beginning on Monday 9th, we will highlight one deserving art post every day and support (by upvoting) those who deserve it... your work determines what you get.

Follow @eye4art if you are an artist in such caliber, you have an opportunity for your best work to be featured as the artist of the day and get upvotes of course! Use the #eye4art tag for our team to find you beginning next week. Do I need to add it has to be YOUR own original work? It has to be... Sorry, plagiarizers. Talk to me :)

Nice! :) Just what I was hoping people would do

Haha, this is kind of like the arranged marriage of steemit.

And just for that, here goes:

I'm an architect-urbanist. I study cities and the systems that inhabit it. A lot of my work involves interacting with the local community to derive plans and strategies for neighbourhoods from their viewpoints. On steemit, I mostly post my artwork, thoughts on design and log my travels.

The platform's been wonderful to me and has inspired so much of my current work. I've been a bit quiet for a couple of weeks though so this tinder-like match meetup is perfect to discover some new people!

Here's a link to my first introduceyourself](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@manouche/why-i-call-myself-an-urbanist) post if you'd like to give it a read and don't hesitate to say hello!

Thanks @whatsup for this. Hi to you too!

It's great to meet you, I've followed you

Likewise! You've been on my feed a while now but my interaction game is not at its best. Butyour post about this dude with shitty photos who's always on the trending page really made me go 'YES SOMEONE ELSE NOTICES'. And right after, you introduced us to this great thread so I had to drop by and say hello!

Hello! I'm Suman from Kolkata, India.
I'm pursuing B. Tech in Computer Science Engineering.
I'm a crypto lover, game addicted person :)
I love the latest technology very much :)
Try to keep always up to date with technology.

Hi @whatsup
I'm not looking for your real life name, but rather who you are on Steem and what you are about and interested in.
Goog line,we all should to do this things.
It's just an experiment, take a minute post about your interests and if you think it might be helpful give it a resteem.
Take it up and help us to grew up and become a successful steemman.

Hi @whatsup, thanks for the opportunity to say something :)
Hi all , i am Arif. Professionally i am an oracle database programmer. Personally i try to be lead a honest life. I don't like fake peoples and don't like lie. i like disciplinary life. One of my hobby was to post,comment on facebook. But i did not get so much response and i feel that was waste of my time when i spend much time there though i have friend there whom i chat a very little time. Next i found the steemit with similar functionality of facebook post,comment besides here is a possibility to get a like(upvote) from users that have value. So i feel interest. First 1-3 weeks was so much hard for me. I did not even get 0.001 SBD help from online friend. I am still new here because its only 3 months running of my steemit experience. By thinking of very new steemit users i plan to run a little contest with a little amount of prize. Among my 800+ followers i guess 95% are bots. So its hard to reach to new steemit users, i am trying to promote to discord channel and facebook group. If any user feel interest about it so here is my link of contest.

That is one aspect of Ubuntu, but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves.

Life is give and take, social media is about being social, blogging is sharing knowledge.

It looks really interesting. Social Media is totally about being social. Many want to post and wait, but it often doesn't work that way.

Hey there.

Papa Rodin is my name and I have been around Steemit for about 6 weeks now. I have about quite a few topics, but the one topic that has given me the most enjoyment so far has been books and things related to it.

I started because I was interested in blogging and steemit was a simple and convenient way to get some experience regarding this. So far, it has been a blast and I am looking forward to expand on that.

I post daily, usually once a day, over the course of this month twice because of me doing some extra work because of the #upvoteplankton and #minnowuprising movements. In the morning, read through a book chapter by chapter together with you, a criminal thriller at the moment while in the noon, I just post about whatever else I feel like.

On weekend, I usually make a quick recap about how the week was, steemit related and I will also cover some posts created by other steemians that left an impact. These posts I usually gather on that same weekend.

Want to be a part of it? Come on over and be welcomed with open arms.

I love the idea of the Minnowuprising!

So do I. And your posts have been a great way to support people who are still new and learning in many a case, so we can be glad to have you.

Awesome idea @whatsup!

Hey everyone Im Conrad, I have been on Steem for about four months now and loving it!

I am from New Zealand but have been living in Spain for 8 months where I teach English. It is summer over here in Europe now and we are travelling around Europe for 3 months (loving it! Never experiences heat like this in my life though)

I generally post about Steemit (helping out new users/community, culture - comparing New Zealand to Europe and my experiences, music (started up the #musicdiscovery tag which I love and have met some great people through, crypto, tech and memes!

I am a noob that writes about alcohol problems regularly. At least I try to blog regularly (that is I do blog unregularly^^). Sometimes I write about games and stuff. I also state opinions on several things. And I always try to make sure that my reasoning is consistent enough to actually publish my opinion.

I've seen some others who write about alcohol addiction recovery! Maybe you will find each other. I've wondered about having 12 step meetings/groups online. I'm a fan of recovery.

What are 12 steps? Is this the Alc Anonymous program? I´ve never visited one of their meetings. I thought about creating a community of people who want to fight an addiction whether it´s alcohol or cigarettes or hard drugs or even slight things like coffeine. Yet it is hard to organize stuff on steemit. And I am only sober since 3 weeks so I don´t really feel qualified lol

Ah! @whatsup. I suspect you already know me pretty well. (same as others in steemit). But well, just to take advantage of your invitation here and as a reminder for everyone else, let's give to this callout a shot. At least, to Have a little fun, let my hair down. }:)

I encourage you (on this post only to) drop a link and a description of yourself in the comments. If you drop one, also find someone else to follow. It is a slightly organized follow4follow post.

I am just that eerie old guy who since two years ago post extravagant stuff in a neverending soliloquy on steemit. And eventually, I also ornament them with weird but stunning musical videoclips as corollaries. }:)

Cheers!!

@whatsup I am Preetika. I began yesterday :) I like playing Table Tennis and enjoy reading books. One might say that I'm a voracious reader and I might attempt at writing book reviews. Moreover, I love nature and I'm very health conscious so most of my posts are going to be related to either health or nature. I have a sound knowledge of cryptocurrency as well (Thanks to my reading tendencies) and I will surely share the knowledge with you guys.

Well welcome, welcome.

Hi guys. I'm a coder, blogger, surfer and adventure seeker. I founded the adventure lifestyle website ADAPTNetwork.com to share my love for outdoor adventure and Steemit has been a great place to meet new people who are also into the outdoors.

I've been on Steemit since August 2016 and recently came across Steem Monsters. At first, I wasn't sure if I would get involved but after purchasing the starter pack and a few booster packs I'm reminded of Pokémon cards back in the day. Looking forward to the start of the tournaments.

Looking forward to chatting more on Steemit. 👍

@whatsup,
I think I already stopped following new people! But somehow it might be change in future. Who knows! We are here for a long run ins't it!

Cheers~

Now now, that is why we are having issues getting our new comers to stay... tsk tsk. :)

@whatsup,
Let's see what I can do! Hope you can find few good newbies here!

Cheers~

Too much people and hard to find good ones!

People who try Steemit and stay are just awesome... Well, My friends call me Betza, I'm a romantic about life, science, friendship, love, scifi... Coffee. You'll enjoy What I have to share #TrustMeImAnEngineer

Hi everyone I am @mrnightmare89, i love reading post that talks about life and nature. I love to take photo but my phone is not good. Im a marine engineering student who loves to write about emotions of human. Im not good but Im hoping to be good in writing article and I love to explore of history. I love also that someone wants to hear my advices. Thank you

Nice idea.

I'm a pretty heavy Steemit user. I've done a lot of stuff so far. No bots, bots, delegations etc. Hopefully someday I can really help lead the Steem Blockchain forward.

Anti-bot ? Uh oh! jk lol

I guess I am quasi anti-bot since I am in competition with the bots now. lol I use Minnowbooster to get Steem Power and do compete with the bots for Steem Power delegations.

necessary post indeed. i write about Cryptocurrency. Though I am not a good writer at all, But I try to write something and learn from fellow steemians.

Hello everyone.
This is my first introduction and I think I have said it all in this post.

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@heartbeat1515/my-proper-introduction-introducemyself

I made a normal introduceyourself post five day ago, but i think, i'm too ugly to reach great succes :D

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@kriptonik/this-is-kriptonik-eng-hun

Welcome! Good to see you out and making friends.

Hey! Here ceparl, initially wrote about several things that I like just to get money. But as time went on, I still do it. Haha okno. Since a time here I devoted myself much more to music than at the beginning since it's my passion and helping my friends to enjoy this great community of steemit!

It is a fun community.

@Josediccus, basically I write poems and well I also write prose, not been easy finding people with good understanding of my niche

I relate to this!

well since we both relate, I'm sure we can become friends then hahahaha since it's a friendship blog post

Yes please :D

Hallo @whatsup
I am Md Masud Rana.I am desinger and an artist too .you can visit my wall to see last art from me.i think you about utopian-io.I am also a contributor on utopian love to design.I created some contribution in graphics catagory.your idea is great but wgere is the discord link ?

Hey Masud...nice to meet you here

cool sketches...

Nice to meet you. I'll check out your art. I added the discord link where I hang out. Where is yours?

Hi! I am from Philippines. I post anything comes to mind but my favorite topic is CASHING OUT and it's my TOP PAID POSTS here upvoted by @blocktrades and @hr1. LOL!
You can click my #introduceyourself link below to know more about me ;)
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@pinay/getting-you-to-know-me

Nice to meet you and I will check out your introduction.

Thank You! 😘

What does CASHING OUT correspond to ? i mean what is the context of this...

It's the TOPIC I WRITE ABOUT here at Steemit. I am not an artist, a poet, a cook nor a traveler so I only write mostly related to online earnings/activities.

@pinay what is Cashing Out ? Sounds like a fun thing!

ah, this make sense! lol

Hahahaha, did you honestly type those tags. I can't stop laughing.

Well, let's see how this experiment will go. I'll come back in a couple of hours to check if I'll find one or two introduction to check out. I'm sure it's gonna be fun.

Now where is my alarm clock. Oh here it is @remind.bot 5 hours

Hey this is cool! Give it a plug!

@lordjames how does the bot work...it leaves a comment after X hours?

You just type the bot name in your comment followed by when you want it to remind you of a particular post or comments. In the following examples I'll separate the @ and the bot name since it's just to show you how it works

Eg

@ remind.bot 18 minutes

@ remind.bot 10 hours

@ remind.bot 9 days.

It's very effective because often times I see a post I want to read later or check out in the future. I have never tested to see if it can work for weeks or for months. But it's cool

tks ..but how does it remind you ? replying to the thread at the requested time ?

Yes, that's the idea. It will also mention my user name. Since I use Ginabot for notification when my name is mentioned, I'll get a notification on my phone that I've been mentioned by remind.bot

Pretty simple, isn't it.

That is cool! Now many will see it.

@remind.bot 24 hours.

That’s dope

I love using weird tags. I think it annoys some people also... That just adds to my enjoyment.

it's pretty cool, i especially like the "meetup" tag a lot. :)

Great Idea, @whatsup!
With all the negativity lately, this is a good "housewarming"

😎

I might "steal" this idea, spin it a little different and recycle it, with your kind permission. In fact, you could make a unique #hashtag and tag me and I bet it will take off! Looks like a WINNER! :-)

Please feel free to copy the idea however you would like! I'll be pleased. Also you can link it to me! This was great with a lot of participation.
