Wowzers... I just reached 100 followers and actually said wowzers for the first time. I was just at like, 50 followers yesterday and all of a sudden I'm at 100. Thank you all so much. I have truly tried to engage with each follower and anyone that has replied or voted. Seriously, I appreciate each one of you.
(I'm Jonah Hill in this gif from Giphy.com, but feel like Brad)
To say thank you, I am going to give some things away but first I am going to share some thoughts I learned so far here at Steemit to help the new Steemonians.
1. If you want people to read and respond to your stuff, you are going to have to get out there and read and respond to people.
2. If the rewards on Steemit are secondary to the reward of being involved in a great community then you will win. Being on Steemit is its own reward.
3. Be yourself. I love the fact that this community is based on lifting each other up and adding valuable insight. The one thing that nobody can experience fully without you is you. Tell your story and you will find people will gravitate to you.
4. Be interested in others and you will become more interesting.
My goal is to provide thought provoking content and honest feelings and experiences around my many interests.

If you like poetry, click here and here.
If you are just now following me and want to know more about me, here is my stand up comedy special. It is only posted and shared on Steemit and it is the best way to know what kind of person you are following. hahaha.
Now to the good stuff. Let me do some giveaways.
To anyone that is following me that votes on this and replies, then I will send you each a digital copy of my eBook series called "Becoming a Prepper" as a way to say thanks. It is a very good series that will walk you through all the steps to help you build your prepping plan to deal with any natural or man-made disaster. I sell it for $14.99 but free to anyone that replies and votes in the first seven days of this post.
PLEASE REPLY WITH AN EMAIL. WHEN I SEE IT, AND COMMENT BACK, YOU CAN EDIT YOUR POST SO YOUR EMAIL ISN'T PUBLIC.
Maybe when my rewards start rolling in I'll give away some Steem for my 500 follower celebration, but right now, this is the best I can do.
I really appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you so much for your support and please reach out if you ever want some feedback or have any questions about things that I might know.
You all rock. Thank you!
Alright... that's it.

Congratulations, I started 3 days ago and would love to get 100 followers. I love the platform. never used facebook in my live and now I really want to share things with you all. I start to think about a giveaway also.
Well you are one step closer to 100 now. I just followed you. All it takes is spending time finding cool people and interacting with them on their posts. Most people return the favor. If you are interesting, they'll stay. Good luck and thank you very much!
Congrats on the milestone! Sent an upvote and a follow to help you on the next step forward, working my way to 100 followers too!
Thank you for the follow and taking the time to reply. You are also one step closer to your 100 followers. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions along the way that I might be able to help with. Thanks again.
I have a quick one, I typically can't post until later on at night sometimes around 2-3 am EST. Is it better to just post it then or to just draft it up and then post it during the day to get the most exposure?
To be honest, I have seen my best results happen at night as well. I've posted at all hours of the day, but mostly at night. Posting on a schedule also allows you to be on at the same time consistently with the same people. For example I am on around the same time almost every night and we can get into dialogues like this. My suggestion is to keep trying new things and find what works best for the content you are sharing. I hope that helps.
Sure does, thanks again!
no problem. Anytime!!!
I've Upvoted for sure. happy to meet you in this big family.
looking forward to your next post.
