Hi everyone,
How are all of you doing? I'm really excited to get started in this amazing community.
Just a quick intro of how I got here before I tell you guys how long it took me to get my Steemit account approved.
I am a Graphic Designer|Web Designer|Freelancer. I've been doing freelancing for over 10 years. And I love to watch tutorials and I learn a great deal from them. That's exactly what I was doing when I happened to land on one of the very fine tutorials of a Gentleman @joeparys. And I decided to come join Steemit getting inspired from his videos. So out of honor, I am just adding his reference here.
This is @joeparys - Online Instructor with various courses on Udemy and youtube and also active on Steemit.
So now coming to the real topic, I created my account on November 13, somewhere around 11 in the night. And after verification they asked me to wait until my account was approved. I was really worried because the message said that the new accounts are verified within 7 days. I thought I'd have to wait for centuries to come start on Steemit.
Then I looked for reviews, tried to find out what other people had to say about account approval. Also there, I found out that many of them were taking 2-7 days to get approved. So I made up my mind that atleast I have to wait for 2 days, but I wasn't really sure that I'd get approved in 2 days, I thought It'll take 4-5 days.
But today, when I checked my gmail, I was really amazed when I found this in my email :
I at once opened Steemit and here I am, writing my first post, getting to be a part of Steemit Community.
I thank you all for taking out your team and reading my post. That's what I love about Steemit, people are so friendly here and encourage and appreciate other's work.
I hope to stay in touch with all of you. Just need your support and appreciation. Do let me know if you guys have any suggestions for me as I am a newbie here.
