YOU GUYS are amazing!
It's only been about 5 months since I joined the wonderful community that is Steemit.
I logged on this morning and found that I have 300 followers! You guys rock!!
This is a milestone for me!
I love Steemit.
I have to admit, I joined because, like most people, I DO spend a certain amount of time on social media every day. Catching up with friends, looking for ideas, reading interesting posts, etc. When I heard about Steemit, I thought, why not? Even if I only get a few cents per post, that is still MUCH more than I EVER got from those other sites!
Yes, there is a little money to be had here. No, it is not a work from home business, by any stretch of the imagination.
Sure, there are a handful at the top that ARE probably making a living, but the average Joe on here certainly is not.
But that's okay! You know why? There is something even BETTER here!
Friends. Community. A very interesting group of like-minded people to connect with!
I have to be honest here, that is ABSOLUTELY my favorite thing about Steemit. Even if, someday, I actually make enough money to supplement our income, that is only secondary.
You people are the best!
I thought about making a list of some of the people I love on here, but I know, with my forgetful Mom-brain, I would leave out many of you, so I will just say thanks for your support guys! You know who you are!
As always friends, have a blessed day!

so Squishy, is there anything you can recommend based on your experience so far that I could do to help attract more followers? Was there anything in particular that you did, or that happened, that seemed to really boost it?
Well, I find that if I post every day, that helps a lot! Also, I make it a point to go around and comment on peoples' posts. People already on my followers list of course, but ALSO I go into the 'new posts' section, and pick random people who's posts interest me and comment there as well. I find that generally people, when seeing a new face commenting on their posts, will check out their profile and start commenting in return, many times following. :)
I'm am one of you new followers. To me we are here to learn and get laughs from one another.
Haha, I am one of your new followers too! :D
I agree, learning and laughs are one of the best things around here.
I am pleased to be one of your followers! I have enjoyed "meeting" a wide variety of people here on Steemit.
You are definitely one of the people I enjoy on here! I always look forward to your comments! ♥
There really are some amazing folks on this platform. From my first blog, there have been certain people that have supported me as well, even though I am a little spotty. :) Have a great week.
This is the first time I have ever blogged, but I am a long time peruser of blogs. ;)
Im enjoying Steemit immensely. :)
Hope your week is great as well!
so far so good. Got my second load of laundry in and the sun is shining. May get to that burn pile this afternoon. :)
Way to go!! :)
wind was blowing the wrong direction to burn today! :( I would of smoked the house out and made my clean clothes smell like a bonfire.
Oh no! Ive done that before, haha!
I have a pile of old nasty siding that needs burned, but Im waiting on a day that is not windy or rainy... Hopefully soon~!
I will have to wait until it drys out a little now. Rain and more rain. Someone is predicting perhaps snow! I just had my snow tires taken off today! go figure. lol
That is great! Nice work. Keep it up !
Thanks!! :D
That is so awesome! Congratulations are in order for sure. 300 seems SO FAR AWAY for me so I imagine the excitement. Happy Monday and keep cranking out those awesome posts!
Haha, it seemed far away for me too, not long ago!
Before too long, Im sure 300 will seem like small change, to us, haha.
Congratulations! I completely agree with you! The best part of steemit is the people, the sense of community and the kindness that people put forth! I love it here!
Thanks! Its fantastic here. ♥
