In less than a week, Steemit has helped me find so many amazing people from all corners of the earth! YAY! :)
First of all, if you have no idea what #TheAlliance is (I’m just learning, but I can point the way), check out the latest note’s issue. I joined the Light Artillery Discord group from that post, and was instructed to post an application on Steemit to be considered for the group.
I’m game!
Question 1: How did I find #thealliance?
Oh geeze. I don’t know when I first stumbled upon the tag… I’ve been wandering down so many Steemit paths through posts and links... I don’t even know how I got there! I eventually found the #haturday tag, mothered by @saffisara, and that solidified my opinion that these Alliance members must be pretty cool.
Question 2: Why do I want to be part of this group?
I’ve got a few reasons for wanting to join. First of all, I’m looking for fun people to connect with on Steemit, to make the experience better overall. This seems like a great group.
Second, #thealliance is makes me think of The Rebel Alliance, and I always wanted to be Princess Leia, so I naturally gravitate towards things that remind me of her.
Third, I’m a new minnow in a big ocean, and am looking for ways to grow into a bigger fish. Maybe even a sea otter to start. ;) Finding supportive family helps anyone grow, so here I am!
Couldn’t resist throwing this picture into this post!

Question 3: What do I have to contribute?
I’m fun, enthusiastic, I care about the people I interact with, and I write kick-ass comments! As someone whose vote doesn’t have a ton of power yet, I feel like the most important thing I can bring to the table is my passion to encourage Steemians by engaging in meaningful conversation in the comments section of posts. I make a point to only leave thoughtful replies, and appreciate it when others do the same!
If you want to check out another of my posts to see the quality of my content, I’m super-proud of this piece of flash fiction, a love story between two people and a piano: GIVE ME MOONLIGHT — a short story inspired by Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata This story hit me like a bomb yesterday, and I’ve already had requests to continue it! If you want to make my day, please head over and let me know what you think. :)

Thanks for considering adopting me, Alliance peeps! I’ll do you proud.
PEACE! @katrina-ariel

Thanks very much for the welcome. :)
Nice to meet you!
Sounds like you found your family!! You are going to love all the friends waiting for you. and @topkpop and @saffisara are the best!! And they never sleep! You can always find them when you are in need. Just kidding. But they really are awesome and always willing to help.
Welcome to the family :)
Thank you so much, Marianne! I'm glowing over here. #gratitude
Hello!! I'm from Philippines. Please follow my blogs and i will follow yours as well. I'm a newbie and I would really appreciated getting positive feedback from this community . Hope we can all be good friends :)
If you leave a comment asking people to follow you and you will follow them, people will consider you a spammer.
And when your comment looks a lot like spam, people on this platform do not like this. Actually, some of the bigger accounts might downvote you to a point where you are not visible anymore. Here are two good articles which will help you to be successful on this platform.

What a great application and you're 100% right, the greatest contribution minnows like us can make is producing quality content, quality comments and continuing to support the growth of this amazing platform.
I'm also in Alpha so looking forward to seeing you around!
So glad to meet you in Alpha, @phamished! Stoked to be part of an active, supportive community. 💕
Yes lovely to have met you too and chat to you again soon on Discord :)
I absolutely adore the hat! Wow, just like for so many reasons. I am also originally from Canada so hello! Glad you picked the Alpha Syndicate and I want to say, welcome aboard! This was a fantastic application by the ways.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I'm originally from the States, but made my way up here in 2000. I love both countries for the amazing people and landscape. (In fact, I feel the same about most places I've been in the world.) I'm thrilled to have picked the Alpha Syndicate and am most grateful for the kindness y'all have shown me thus far. :)
You have definitely covered the #haturday tag well in your post!
and I will admit that I am a sucker for a Canadian Flag!
You are right about a few things, the alliance is a great group of people who like to have fun. We support each other with love and support!
Keep posting great content and membership will be sure to follow.
May the force be with you. always

Welcome to the family :)
Aw, thank you so much! It already feels like a family. Amazing! :)
Terrific application post. You'll have fun in alpha.
Thanks so much! I'm already having a blast. :)
Nice to meet you Kat Leia, may the force be with you. Love your photos. love the Rebels and the cartoon show Rebels and Star Wars in general. You have a great smile. Keep smiling. You're full of life. May the power protect you. That is from the Power Rangers.
Thanks for the warm welcome! You made me blush calling me Kat Leia. :) May the force be with you!
Love the moon too. May the moon keep you wild.
Aaaaooooooo
(Howling... in case you couldn't tell.) :)
you are a funny bunny, ow owwwwww
And you are Ariel, of the Little Mermaids.
Yes. That too. :)
Hi Katrina, best of luck to you and welcome to Steemit!
Thank you so much! All the best to you, as well. :)
I actually haven't heard about the (rebel) alliance! There are so many microcosms on here, love all the ones that support interacting with each other - being a good commentator is a much-appreciated skill.
"There are so many microcosms on here, love all the ones that support interacting with each other..." Right?! That's such a good way to put it. This is another microcosm I stumbled upon recently, but, for me, the most important thing is genuine connection. Thanks for your awesome comments on my posts!
Glad to see you finding your way here!
Thank you so much! I think I stumbled onto another gem in the treasure that is Steemit! :)
Hey! Welcome to Steemit! This community is amazing but does take some getting use to since it’s a bit different than the other social media platforms.
I joined Steemit December 30th, 2017 and have had a blast networking, learning and earning (actually made some pretty good money so far)!
I'd suggest signing up for these free applications for Steemit that gets you upvotes and followers. The first thing you need to do as a new user is to increase your STEEM POWER (SP), which increases your visibility and voting power. These were a huge help for me.
Feel free to follow me @entrepreneur916, as I continue to post content to help make the Steemit community better and to help new members!
Respectfully yours,
Jacob A. Billett, M.B.A
CEO Billett Enterprises, Inc.
Thanks for the welcome. :)
You are very welcome! Let's both realize our dreams! 2018 is our year!
May the Force be with you...
Always!
Look forward to seeing you around sweets, thanks for the app! Love the hats too 😎
Thank you for the top-notch welcome today! I'll keep bringing out the hats. lol! Steemit is so much fun. :)

Hey @katrina-ariel! I had a read about the alliance it sounds interesting.
Along with having a nice community of people, I guess it also acts as an engagement group where you upvote and comment on each others posts? Is that right?
Yes, Jeremy, that's the idea of quite a few groups I've found. You support each other, and in doing so, uplift the whole community. I'm still resistant to the idea of bots, so networking via groups like this seems the way to go (and so much fun!!!) Thanks for stopping by. You're awesome!
I totally agree. I have tried to learn a lot about bots but it just does not sound appealing to me. These groups sound like a much better idea!
I might be interested in joining myself, but do you know how I can find other groups too so I can see my options?
Great post! Someone is going to get very lucky if they adopt this minnow!
YAY!!!! It's the legendary @whatsup, who adopted the fabulous @brandyb! Thanks so much for saying hello, and for your generous nature. You and others like you make Steemit amazing!
