Our bed broke and we are too, so we relied on the donation of a bed from someone my wife found on social media. I organised a van to go and collect it and I went to help.
I got there 45 minutes before the van even turned up, trust Mick the Van man to be late.(it was my fault because I had forgotten to text him the address and postcode, Opps)
I met this guy who kindly helped me get the bed outside and while I waited for the van to turn up we had a good chat about life.
It started with a little chat like you do when you a filling up time, where there is that moment of silence so you know you better say something.
So as we talked I found out a few things about him, his name, that he lived in Kent and he moved to Sheffield recently and was looking for work.
It doesn't take me long to talk about my passion for Steemit, so I explained how it worked and what it was. he had never heard of Steem before but bitcoin so it was easier to explain.
I showed him my blog page and account to prove to him that I was making Steem through posting and commenting, I said to him at one point, do you waste your time on Facebook? well, why would you when if you go and spend that time on Steemit.com you get paid for it.
I think that was the selling point too be honest. haha
As we were leaving he told me he was going to join there and then. which is good. but we all know how long we had to wait to get into Steemit so I hope that doesn't put him off.
So I would like to introduce to you @dobusinessdirect, I would like for you all to give him a follow and an up-vote for his first post to show him what kind of community we have here.
He is such a nice genuine guy, someone I would like to be involved in Steemit, he is laid back and chilled and a good conversationalist.
He didn't have to but he brought his kids outside to hang around with me and my lad while we waited for the van, he even invited me into his house so my lad could play with his.
I think Steemit would benefit him and his family just like it has done with mine and many others too.
I am @artonmysleeve and the picture is the proof.
