The other day, I wrote about people who hop on the interwebs and advertise that you can make 1k/day on steemit and that's all they focus on when trying to get new users to the platform.
Then a couple of days later, I went to catch up on @whatsup's posts as I always do now because she's a great writer...
...and I ended up seeing that she also wants us to spread good stories about steemit (besides just all the $$ ones floating around there).
I immediately knew I wanted to chime in, 'cause it's a great mission and goes hand in hand with what I was just talking about the other day.
@whatsup is hosting a contest called #SteemStory and it basically encourages us to talk about other reasons we love steemit!
Like, has steemit allowed us to be uncensored whereas other platforms were censored?
Were we able to learn here on steemit? Stuff like that.
So guys, let's make steemit look great again! haha.
I made a video which I don't usually do, but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and get better with.
Also, I injured my finger and don't feel like typing (yet here I am. This is for you anti-video folks).
My reasons are basically this (for the short version):
I've made more friends here than on any other social media platform, which is crazy because I've only been around for 5 months!
The community is so supportive and encouraging! I feel like superwoman here. I'm VERY inspired to get better at photography, writing, and video because I want to create content for the community. I'm very motivated to just keep improving here, and I know people will support me along the way.
I feel like I can ask for help here, whereas, on other platforms, it would feel really out of place to ask for help with something like giving me tips on editing video or something. Here though, I feel totally safe to do that and people really do help! I can do so much growing here!
I look forward to steemit every day! I get excited when I talk about it. My face lights up. I mean, I'm not looking at it when I'm talking to people...
...but it FEELS like it lights up.
It's social media with a mission to change the world. No censorship. Social media with a mission. With a purpose.
That's something to get excited about!
