Yesterday , i meet several friends during an outing. i learn that one of my old tourism friend have now become a full time artist.
The moment i heard that, i started briefly shared about what steemit is all about including how steem blockchain works. But i am also aware that the timing and the circumstances was not right for me to brief or gave my pull pitch about steemit, so yes. it was a brief one.
I gave him my phone number and told him that if he is interested to know more, i will make myself available to brief him.
Today, i received a phone call from him wanting to meet up and hoping for me to brief him more. we schedule the time and off i went with other meetups.
In the evening during our meet up, i got a bit into details and more importantly answers all the question.
He shows me his artistic work , he does his artwork on oil painting. i love oil paintings , i wish i am just as talented as him. looking through his artwork on his phone, remind me of all the oil painting i bought in indonesia and vietnam. Perhaps its time to unbox them. LOL.
Anyway , i guess my pitch was interesting enough that he cant wait to sign up. I told him to actually do some research on it, only then register. The reason is simple, i want people to be part of steemit because it is based on one's research and conviction that it is the right platform for them, i dont want people i presented about steemit join steemit just because of the herd mentality or just because they are my friend.
Because of today meet up, i will organized another steemit bootcamp in few weeks. This is so that people can learn more , ask question and perhaps invite some of their friends.
What is lovely about steemit is that if other steemian truly love a good post, they will upvote them willingly, so i shared a sample of a fellow artist that recently had good upvote including from @curie, his name is @borneoairbrush, check out his post HERE
One of the challenges for artist in Sabah is that the local dont truly know how to value and appreciate arts. I honestly think that this is one areas that really need to put lots of effort on to promote local artist.
The good thing about steemit for local artist is that , it now become a platform that showcase their artwork sort of like a portfolio for artist and make some income through tutorial, finish artwork etc.
This truly grab the attention of my friend and he is now truly exciting about how steemit can contribute to the local art scene.
My friend name is howard, and he dont have the username yet, hopefully he get it soon and i look forward for him to show his beautiful artwork so you guys can enjoy them too as much as i did when i saw it. Will keep you guys posted when he is done with his first steemit post.
I encourage you to continuously share the power and wonders of steemit. While some think of this a merely a blogging platform but the opportunities that this platform does in changing peoples lives is amazing. And in all honestly , it is always nice feeling to do a service to other just by sharing steemit to those who needs it.
Very good thing you introduced steemit to him. His artistic works will add more value to steem blockchain.
thats the way it should be Mr. SA. Top 10 juga lah ..
