BTW we have a lot of great artists outside our area so maybe we can invite Steemians to send their art and photos here for us to exhibit in late October to sell for SBD?
Please check out our upcoming events if you're in the SF Bay Area!
Phenomenal presentation skills from yourself and @steemrollin for explaining what steemit does and is all about. Would have loved to attend and get to know all of you in person. You are so right about this great community that is being built. The way I see it, with like-minded individuals such as you guys on here, content and the platform itself will hit the stratosphere soon and keep going.
Again, a very very well done job by both of you and here's to your continued success on Steemit. :)
Beautifully done by you both. You had an exceptional turnout and the setup with the projector and everything was just pure brilliance. Really wish I could have been there and met you all. Keep on being your amazing selves and promoting Steemit through your inspirational stories, it's just what we need right now, a lot of positivity and good spirit!
I didnt know you have a san fran. Meeting. That is awesome, i only thought there were meetups in germany. I could probably make it to one of the nexts ones, this is good news.
Looks like you had a successful night, congrats
I think there are a lot of Steemit Meetups popping up all over the place.
That's exciting to meet a fellow San Franciscan on Steemit, I hope to see you at our next event :-)
San Fran is far away from me. My cousin lives there though, I actually just visited the area in april for her wedding. I really like it down in California, but always thought the ocean was supposed to be warm - lame.
anyways, my comment was more that I thought all the meetings were in Europe. Its good news to see some happening in the states. I would definetly like to attend one. ~cheers
I know a good handful of people in the LA area on Steemit - and very active users as well. I'm sure a Meetup will pop up soon in your area, or you'll organize it :-)
Looks like a great event, and the video of the presentations was very informative for me! And I think it's great that you plan to do these monthly too, it's very productive and fun to keep in contact with other steemians from your area.
You speak really well in public, and also you show people that it's possible to quit a 9-5 and blog professionally. A lot of people don't believe it's possible to be a sustainable content producer and who knows it might turn out that Steemit isn't going to be able to provide sustainable income but you still inspire people to try.
I know rent is really high in San Francisco so if you live there then it's going to be very difficult to blog exclusively. On the other hand you travel a lot and you know your way around the world so I believe you can make it work.
Thank you so much. As of right now it has allowed me to sustain myself as a content producer, but you are right, San Francisco is extremely high in living expenses. I think the ability to make Steemit your full time job also depends on where you live in the world and how much the living costs are there. I'm curious - do you think that you, personally, could be a sustainable content producer relying solely on Steemit?
Not at the current prices of Steem. When the prices were around $3 and rising I was a bit more confident that it was trending in the right direction but it really depends on how many followers I have, how many upvotes I get, what the price of Steem currently is what determines how much is available for payouts and the price of Steem declining means Steemit as a platform supports a decreasing amount of people in developed countries with more focus switching to developing countries or just anywhere not in places like San Francisco.
In most places you need $5000 a month minimum, and on Steem it's currently very difficult to achieve that.
Thanks and great recap @anwenbaumeister!

We did! Good people, good conversation, good food :-)

Thank you and yes we're building a great community here!
Thank you for your very kind words! Yes, I agree, Steemit is all about the people and the community we are creating :-)

A job well done, @anwenbaumeister and @steemrollin, awesome communication skills, great job!
Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much @rea! Maybe one day you'll make it out to SF for a Meetup :-)
I love to see more meeting and presentation about steemit.
Me too!
seeing you guys is like, OOOOH , it's funny to meet some peers and talking the same topic . God Bless
It's a fun time for sure!

Got it! Lol yes our ocean is cold - a shock for many visitors. Though Southern California has some pretty warm water.
Man, this is way cool! so glad you all did this. I'm in L.A so hopefully we'll have one down here soon!
There are a few people I've seen from SoCal so I think you guys should start one up soon!
Ah, no kidding! Yes, I haven't looked yet to see if there is one. We should!
I know a good handful of people in the LA area on Steemit - and very active users as well. I'm sure a Meetup will pop up soon in your area, or you'll organize it :-)
Wow, another great meeting with a great turnout! I wish I lived in Germany or San Francisco so I could have attended one of these meetings!
Maybe you can start your own local Steemit Meetup!
I would like to but I don't have enough free time to plan one. I could swing attending one, but planning is definitely a time commitment.
It looks great and with great turn out. well done.
Thanks so much!
That looks fun and I see you had a good time there.
Cool!
Thanks!
That's a cool idea, hope to see more of these popping up.
Thanks! I have seen a good amount pop up and can't wait for more :-)

Glad to hear! We should collaborate with you and all the other city organizers so we can share event ideas. ttyl!
Your Meetup looked amazing as well! Cheers to Meetups well done and to creating local Steemit communities :-)
Seems that you all had a good time. Wished there is a meetup in Asia that I can go to.
It was a great time! Where in Asia are you located?
I am from Sarawak, Malaysia. Sarawak is actually on the island of Borneo
Awesome! Maybe you and @kevinwong are close enough to do a Meetup?
Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for the great article and incentive to now hold a Steemit meet-up in my small town!
I hope you do and best wishes that it goes well!
Wow so many people participated!
Yeah it was great!
Amazing!!!! Thanx for sharing the experiences!
Thanks for reading! Let me know if a Meetup happens in LA I may be able to come down :-)
