This has ever been my idea of steem:
We don't follow steem to the moon. We take steem to the moon.
And if you look closely, it is on this very model that steem will end up thriving.
Everyone, even a redfish has a stake and each one is incentivized to grow this stake by incessantly "mining with minds", while maintaining good behavior.
You are started up on steem to some delegated steem power (at the very least), starting you up to ownership of steem. I think that establishing this sole knowledge from the outset, will instantly spur you on to steemit success because your mindset starts out all different (this sole knowledge almost instantly sets you apart and gives you an edge because this sole knowledge, many steemians spend ages to identify and establish in their minds):
We take steem to the moon!
Yes, establishing the above solidly in your steemit/steem-knowledge-base and no longer will you spend too much steam, actively/passionately seeking out things that are wrong with steemit/steem or possible reasons why it will fail or endlessly question whether it will end up succeeding etc
For you will land (on steem/steemit) and build-base! You will not just perch on it.
Yes, many content-sharing blockchain-based platforms may pop up, that look to offer more balance in terms of reward distribution etc but how will they compare to the "steem-blockchain" also, when it comes to security, capacity, speed, fees and ease-of-use?
Speaking of ease-of-use, you don't have to download an entire blockchain to access steem!
And can any content-creation platform out there, beat steemit/steem in the aspect of "a reputable community of great minds"?
Except they try copy steemit/steem! (Steemit is the first of its kind (that works) on blockchain)
Not a soul can today, can be fully said to be a better break-dancer than Michael Jackson.
Okay, there has been Akasha, Synereo etc trying to pop up but are they on a blockchain better than steem?
Open this in new tab
Don't Keep Stressing
While others who understand fully that they are co-owners of steem are incessantly looking for reputable ways to shoot steem to the moon, we lose steam even steem, indecisive on whether to perch or land.
Without landing, you can't be really effective towards your steemit success, for there will always be "but(s)".
And while you spend ages hoping that whales will come around and visit and ages getting deterred when they don't visit, how about spending that time building your own whale? How about remembering this:
You are whale to me!
For Why Should Steem Fail, When You Are (Really-Fully) Here?
It so shouldn't! It so wouldn't
For while you tire out a bit, to go into-the-box to regain energy, rest assured, someone is coming out-of-the-box, at that very moment to create awesomeness.
The whole model of steem revolves just around that.
The more people there are realizing that "we take steem to the moon", the more it is less likely to fail.
I Am Not A Coder/Developer/Programmer?
Hahaha, this is just one way of the ton of ways out there, to take your portion of steem to the moon. Its an ecosystem and to me, every role is equal; you know why?
Cos there is no real ways to measure value or effort.
So who says a developer/programmer etc does a better job than you in taking steem to the moon? Who says, your simple blogs about "life" etc has not triggered action in the search engines and brought thousands to steemit today or potential thousands next-next tomorrow?
When i started Untalented for instance, i had steemit growth very much in mind as well. I wanted people to share these untalented posts to their social media accounts as well, to spur steemit growth even to those downtrodden or lowly-at-heart; to revert even the spammers and give them newer use as innovators and content-creators, but did i have any real measure of my impact, until one person left a comment, saying that #untalented changed his life and because of it 15 or so of his friends have joined steemit?
Plain No
We all play a role in this ecosystem and minnow or whale; is negligible. What counts is:
that tiny thing that you do
"The High Road"
In reality, this the road that successful people take.
While you argue about whether those who trend, are suppose to trend; those who trend; trend!
See, Dan who created steem, is currently busy on EOS. Hahaha, Ned who created steemit, is evolving into Smart Media Tokens
There is nothing you can't build on steem and if steem/steemit has issues, spend more steam/steem conceiving of ways to fix it or your portion of it and let it be fun and let it be because your sole aim is to take your portion of steem to the moon.
Not because you want to win people's attention or impress people, for impressing yourself has more far-reaching satisfying impact and is more testimonial!
You are whale to me
Promoting steem/steemit in reality is our role. Why?
- Because it is your steem
- There is no doubt about steem/steemit's potential in impacting lives positively
- Because "steem to the moon", benefits you too
- Because the more reputable great minds in incessant mind-mining on steem, the more steem won't fail.
- Because if the numbers grow, you can run entire real-world businesses or enterprises on steem/steemit
- Because it is a way of giving
- Because it is a way of educating
- Because you want an audience
- Because you want a movement
- Because you want a team
- etc
Whether you promote steemit, @utopian-io, @busy.org, @dmania, @steepshot, @dtube, @chainbb, @esteem @chainbb @zappl @dsound @steemgigs etc or you build your own app, solely to promote it while building your empire, you are taking steem to the moon.
Promoting Steem is not as hard as you think!
Simply pick your audience and tell them of the exact app for their needs or build an app solely for their needs and promote that app.
Here are many apps on Steem that you can use organically:
- Steemgigs (coming soonest): Offer a service in
- Dmania: if your friend likes imgur or 9gag
- Zappl: if your friend loves tweets
- Dsound: if your friend loves soundclound, itunes etc
- Dtube: If you friend relishes earning from vlogs
- Chainbb: If your friend likes forums
- Busy: if your friend is always on Facebook
- Utopian: if your friend is an innovator
- Steepshot: if you friend likes looking at photos, images or loves selfies and groupies
- etc
And A Little Improvisation
And if it is a game that may appeal to your friends and family, there are games e.g there is a recent simple game by @netuoso and alot of other games in the making, by @sirlunchthehost etc
or you can tell your friend who is a game developer to come continue building his game on steem or tell your friend who has been looking for funds to develop his open-source game, to come sync his game (github) with Utopian and get possible support from the steemit community funding-wise etc
Now if your friends are all freelancers etc, tell them https:steemgigs.org is getting ready and if they want to beat-box or create music, simply tell them of dsound or of a growing beat-boxing community being spearheaded by @jaderpogi
And just if there is no app to fit their needs, you can invite them solely to participate in contests and steemit has a ton of them daily. Simply pick one such post from https://steemit.com/created/contests
If they are fans of 9gag or Imgur, simply pick up Dmania and show that to them.
The process there upon is seamless. They will be redirected to sign-up on steemit same as they would on Facebook etc; The only slight difference is, you will need to remind them to backup their password. Overtime, interfaces on steem may start to have direct sign-ups; by-passing steemit altogether as will be the case with @utopian-io soon.
Overall, some time next year, by means of Hardfork 20, steemit sign-ups will be faster but the awareness we do even now, instead of waiting till then, can work then.
I didn't join steemit, the first time i learned about steemit. I eventually joined by means of an organic blog that i found in the search engine, that had attempted to answer my then question and whose author i connected with!
Why bring your own community or friends & family?
"Steem to the moon" aside; you will have your own like-minded people from the get-go to spark your fire and you do need fire.
In today's world, in any endeavor, you do need fire and if you need fire, you need a spark!
"You and your own community" and it gets much easier to gradually take your portion of steem to the moon at least.
But I don't Have Steem Power
Hahaha, do you really really think steem power is stronger than will power or people power (community power)?
People who you invite to steemit, should want to join steemit also because of the person of you and what you represent; minnow or whale.
So let your substance grow and shine!
If you promote steemit and do posts about it and get rewarded for it, it is more that steemians are encouraging the act. It is not because you are doing better than others or cos it is our right or because we have to be rewarded for putting effort to promote steemit.
Hahaha, it is your steem too and if it is, promoting it should be a fun thing to do!
Plus, a ton of people promote steemit behind-the-scenes.
Even the simple "thank you" comment plays its role in promoting steem.
In this post, i will like you to tell me what current endeavors you are doing towards telling "steemit or steem-apps" to others. This can also include updates about your own evolution as a steemian because according to me, a very solid way of promoting steem is in your own "steemit evolution".
To be effective in drawing people up the ladder, you have to have climbed the ladder first!
Infact, as your steemit effect starts to appreciate, people will join steemit as a result of you, without you asking.
So, how has your steemit journey been, how has your conviction about steemit been, have you done some steemit promotion's lately etc Let's discuss!
I like to carry my steemit gift-cards around and give them out to as many people as i get the chance to meet and much more including simple shareable posts (to inspire) like this!
If you want to print them out too and do edits, all good:

What an excellent post Terry!
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US is responsible for the growth of steemit.
We have to bring more people to the platform, steem is just not popular enough.
I am 100% sure, there are millions of people out there, who would directly join steemit on love the platform.
I can talk for myself: If I didn't get to know steemit by accident I wouldn't be here because nobody of my circle of friends knew from this opportunity right here.
I am on steemit for over a month now and I don't really use Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram that much anymore.
I hope I would have heard of steemit earlier..
And because I know that many people out there think the same, I told my family, friends and other contacts about steemit and they love it.
a few of them already signed in and more will follow.
Also people on Facebook texted me and asked about steemit, because I publish my content On Facebook too.
People love it, if they know it. So do your best to make to make steemit more popular guys!
Steemit is growing and growing and there are already very much projects currently on steemit and there are more to come.
I'm looking forward to do my own project right here in the future but until that, I try to give the platform more value by creating good content and also rewarding good content by others.
I hope you guys do the same and don't upvote just any shit but rather make differences between high quality and spam/bad posts.
By the way Terry, you are doing a very good job on here. I just voted for you for witness and I recommend everyone else to do the same.
Keep up the work! :)
You are very right my friend. Even when I think Steemit is already fairly know...guess what? I am very wrong! I just finished a webinar to some 125 people now. Bad before my lecture got under way, I asked if there was anyone who know about steem. The answer was, a 'no' in a group of 125 people despite all the awareness that's ongoing in Nigeria today.
I was startled. I have resolved to give steemit promotion some 80 % of my time next year.
@surpassinggoogle taught me to see myself as a stake holder in steem holdings. And since then, I have never looked back in my promotion of Steemit at every slightest opportunity.
All hands most be on deck to realize globalization of steem blockchain. We will achieve this... I have no doubt we will.
Thanks
@eurogee
We are all stake holders
I will follow suit next year giving most of my time to promote steemit@eurogee
Pure awesomeness. This is practically world change (adjustment), so it is win-win and for you, down the road, it will create awesomeness for you. No loss
That’s funny. I also met Steemit by accident via a Skillshare class i was watching.
I keep telling everybody about Steemit and now that I am writing my travel blog on Steemit, instead of starting an own blog, I hope that some of my friends and family will come and join the big Steemit family. I also talk about Steemit with the people I meet on my journey. I even have business cards with my Steemit address.
I also startet one or to Pinterest boards for Steemit Tipps and tricks and my own Steemit posts.
One handicap is that if you come over to Steemit without having known it before, it somehow doesn’t look trustworthy enough and a little bit chaotic.
Which just brings me to the idea, that I could create a footer telling more about me for every post, making it look more like a personal blog somebody would trust...
Anyway, I for my part do the promotion work...
So much awesomeness. Thank you for all the effort you put in and enthusiasm. Down the road, it will all create so much more awesomeness. Keep it up. If you are stuck, visit!
Awesomeness.
I saw your act of awesomeness in my wallet and what can i say, it's here again. Keep on awesome.
Thank you very much
Dear @surpassinggoogle,
Great post you got there.
I am a new member of STEEMIT. I heard about this from a friend and we tried signing up, but we both do not know how to efficiently post topics/blogs. We would greatly and gratefully appreciate some help. May somebody generously spend time by giving me instructions about few basics of @STEEMIT? I already know about inserting images, formatting texts like BOLD and ITALIC. I do not know other than that. I already made some posts but seems like inefficient.
On that note, I would like to humbly ask for an assistance on STEEMIT. I can see that you've been efficiently posting some topics. A generous help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance and God bless!
Truly yours,
@alwintejedor
I will try visit. I am usually so much productive and fast but my mum just died and i am slow but i will get to your blog. In the meantime, you and your friend, join the discord underneath my post here. Then look for or mention @artaddict in the general chat. you can also mention @steemitph @samic @ewuoso, they will help you in the chats there. I am also reachable but this period i may delay a bit. Welcome on steemit. Drop me a link to your post and perhaps your friend, lemme visit
there is no one that is not inspired by your post and work on this platform. You are just a great guy. Check out my other comments as you move on. Thank you for been here. Compliment of the season
Of course I will, I definitely have goals on here!
See you soon buddy!
Pure awesomeness. This is practically world change (adjustment), so it is win-win and for you, down the road, it will create awesomeness for you. No loss
This reminds me of the acronym "WAHOR" which the Ron Paul supporters frequently used: "We All Have Our Roles". I really like it.
In my previous software career (ended, hopefully temporarily, by concussions), I tended to play a "support" role, helping to build a solid infrastructure so that the "rock star developers" could build a much better structure.
They were the rock stars. But if they built their castle on a swamp, it'd be more likely to burn down, fall over, and then sink into the swamp... :)
My role was essential for their success. Or like we said at a company I worked at which went public, "An overnight success! -- ten years in the making." :)
No doubt. Same applies here. One may get to carried away and feel he is doing more than others etc and others may get discourage by the small they feel the offer. In reality, there is no true measure of it and here on steemit. Most people use steemit.com and sometimes post payout as a measure of it but it isn't and can't be sufficient as a true measure so to be every role is equal, even a simple "thank you" goes a long way and depending on its timeliness can be all that's needed to fix someone. Long time. My mum died in the last few weeks, so i have been struggling. I spent her last 16 days with her and before that had not seen her for close to 5 years
"My mum died in the last few weeks, so i have been struggling"I think the best is to just do your own thing whether you are talented or #untalented, you will always pass message. Like someone said even in a non-sense there is sense. And i truly agree with that. Just do your best and leave the rest. @surpassinggoogle please be careful with your use of word. Quoting you:
You will not struggle in Jehovah's name. Remember it is what you call it that it will be. You have the power to do that. The Lord is your strength. I understand you but you still have to remain positive.. One love bro.
Okay. I am getting better. I will rise up. Did the gym yesterday to get my energy levels up today but i skipped today cos of soreness.
Thank God for that. At least those exercise will help you to rest your mind and think clearly. Thanks for responding back. You are blessed.
So sorry to hear about your mom. Mine's still with me and I treasure her presence, even if I often appear to be irritated in her direction, due to these concussion symptoms.
I agree, there are few "measures" in life that truly demonstrate one's worth. I think gifting is one of them, but then, crowing about one's gifts tends to denigrate them.
A few days ago, I read about a society which values their people based on how much they give away. Which is really neat, as I had an idea for a coin with those characteristics a few weeks ago: rather than "proof of work" or "proof of stake", it'd be "proof of spend".
I searched for it when I had the idea, and came across only one other person asking about it, in a forum post with no comments. So, the idea has been thought of before, but doesn't seem like it had been developed.
One downside I can see to it is: someone creates two accounts, and moves a set of coins back-and-forth. Two ways to handle that, technically: the "proof-of-spend" would have time periods, so the rewards are for the coins one spent during a certain period of time. It could track the coins, and detect whether they're "circling" during that time interval -- and, if so, those coins would only account for one "spend", not all of the ones that happened.
Another way would be to have the fees higher, but that then presents downsides to adoption of the coin in general, so I'd rather not do that. Perhaps two coins could be created, similar to STEEM and SBD? One would be monitored for spending, and the other would be the reward. And, thinking while typing, I suppose the reward could be in BTC. But then it would require some backing, so perhaps two new coins would be better. Or just one coin. Anyway...
It's good that you got to spend time with her. Way back in college, I had two relatives pass, a couple years apart. I overslept for the Saturday morning bus when my grandmother was failing, and thought to myself, "I can go next weekend" -- and she passed during the week. I was heart-broken, thinking I had failed her. My uncle later was dying of cancer, and I made the effort to make the trip. He was strapped to the bed, writhing in pain, no intelligence behind those eyes. It was very sad and traumatic. There's no good way to lose someone.
Just said a prayer for you.
After going through all of the comments,and especially yours, I felt like I am listening to my friends and family, but the reality is I have not talked to or met anybody who had a comment on this post. This is the power of steemit.
You got a 0.54% upvote from @postpromoter courtesy of @hackedlife!
I found Steemit by accident, I was looking for information on YouTube, when I found a video of a Venezuelan guy who was talking about Steemit. Now I am so happy to have come here, and to have found you @surpassinggoogle. You are very inspiring and I admire you lots, besides I am infinitely grateful to you. You are here in a special place in my heart. As for the promotion, I have managed to bring some members of my family and a couple of friends to steemit, of course the work continues. All of them have chosen you as a witness, you are the witness of the loving family.
Hahaha thank you very much. I won't lie, i smiled. I smiled! Thank you. You are so in my heart
I've been waiting for this posts for days now
You did meet my expectation
when steemit grows we grow
I've been promoting steemit offline since i join steemit in August
I was even nicknamed steemit propeller.
The failure of steemit is our failure, the success of steemit is our success.
I've always wanted a place to air my voice and gradually i'm being heard.
I've always wanted to touch lives and currently i'm already touching lives.
The recent cashout from steemit by some newbies i introduces really brought some testimonies.
To an extend i feel fulfill, seeing school fees being paid from cashout and people getting new gadget or capital to startup businesses offline has really fuel my passion to do more.
I wanna reach out to more, I want to save that next soul who is alreadying losing hope and giving up in life, I want to tap into that shallow mind and see the creativity from the crust.
All our social media profile should be branded steemit
Everyone around up should be heard about it until they give it a go.hello @surpassinggoogle
Prromoter of steemit
Building a better society through steemit blockchain.I'm @samiwhyte
I am telling you, there will be a ton more testimonies
Yeah
Mind blowing testimonies
The best is yet to come
Hahahah awesomeness. You are awesome. I feel it everytime you talk. Please show me their intro post, DMs or here, so i can encourage them
Oh Terry love, Im always overwhelmed by your never ending support. Thank you so much.
And here he just made his intro!
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@davinsh/introducing-me-and-what-i-do-but-a-master-of-none
"Yes, many content-sharing blockchain-based platforms may pop up, that look to offer more balance in terms of reward distribution etc but how will they compare to the "steem-blockchain" also, when it comes to security, capacity, speed, fees and ease-of-use?Hi @surpassinggoogle. How are you feeling now? I can see all is going on fine. now just quoting you:
Speaking of ease-of-use, you don't have to download an entire blockchain to access steem!
And can any content-creation platform out there, beat steemit/steem in the aspect of "a reputable community of great minds"?
Except they try copy steemit/steem! (Steemit is the first of its kind (that works) on blockchain)
Not a soul can today, can be fully said to be a better break-dancer than Michael Jackson.
Okay, there has been Akasha, Synereo etc trying to pop up but are they on a blockchain better than steem? ?
NOW MY COMMENT
I like the question you ask about " how can any content- creation platform out there beat steemit/steemit....?" I dont think they can only if they will have to copy the platform. But even if they try to copy steemit/steem like the motto of 7UP ( the difference will be clear). You can try to be like someone but can you actually be like that person? Just like someone trying to be like you.......(laughing). Though the person will try but you can only be. When i see people put things on facebook now, really i feel sorry for them especially when its something that is intellectual in nature. I feel I wish this can put this on steemit/steem.
What is happening on this blockchain is really mind blowing because you just find out the world is filled with great mind.
Steemit/steem has created a reputation for itself and it will take time before any other platform ca beat it. Just facebook when it came.
Now the good thing about steemit is that their is room for constant improvement and upgrade. Thanks to all kinds of project like #steemgig, #untalented, #utopia-oi, #busy etc. Just to mentioned few. THE MOON SHOULD BE READY FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE COMING WITH FULL FORCE.
Nice hearing from you Terry Boy.
I am still owing your awesome comments on my previous post but i will get to them. I am slower these days cos of energy levels and mood but i will be there. The beauty of steemit is the blockchain it is on. the capacitiy of this blockchain and its speed, its feelessness etc is where no other copy can beat it. Anther thing is ease of use. For many of these other upcoming social interfaces, they may have good proposal but i tell you, just to get on them for the several i have seen, you ill have to download an entire blockchain and gosh this is a hassle, slows your PC and sucks out all your internet and pc resources cos of this too, there is no google ranking which is steemit's secret weapon. Soon there will be a steemit post answering any topic or question organically in the search engines and this is the height of genuis and where steemit is just bound to go mainstream. if you have been on the internet for long, you will understand better, till date insurance companies still pay 50 dollars per click for ads that may not bring a customer. just a click and they lose 50 dollars. and their sole aim is to appear on the first page of google. A simple steemit blog can accomplish this without much effort. this is the aspect of a steemit blog that many miss out on as the goald becomes to please just the steemit audience and get blinded to other facets of steemit beauty. There are ton of things i can say but i will stop, so we can go. Let's go
And I am ready to join you as we move with out steem to the moon. Thank you for your response. Even your simple response is interesting and inspiring. Thank you Boy Terry.
I do agree with everything you've said and I think you've done a great job nailing it down like this. Well done!
That being said, I'm a firm believer in Steem and Steemit, but I also believe that we must take care of our own, before anything else.
This is from one of my previous articles for insance:
And that's what I've been trying to do. However, I also talk with people about Steemit. I ask people if they've heard about it and things like that, because I truly want more people to join... - But I want to make sure that those we already have onboard, will continue to stay.
Hahaha yes. That is at the core of my post as well. Bring your own community and i spoke of your portion of steem. i was touching there on catering to your community and not inviting people solely cos your imitating others or trying to attract votes etc. i also spoke of building a whale but on steemit i am very technical when dispensing info so that info attains in intending purpose to upbuild and inspire. You know it is a community and you have been here for long and you know how community works. For the new ones staying, i work on that lot in the DMs. Thank you for an awesome comment. You method is where true success lies.
Thank you for a wonderful reply! - A good start on a new day. :)
I wish you awesomeness today and on and on and on
I've been having great days since the day before yesterday. Better days than the normal average so to speak and hopefully it will continue in the same direction.
There are still many difficulties and obstacles I have to encounter, but these two last days have given me more hope and power compared to before, so I'm ready to fight!
Thanks for your wonderful wishes. I truly appreciate it. :)
I've always wondered if there's ever anyone interested with what we have been writing. They're mostly about family, my kids and our life experiences. But you said it yourself;
When we got introuduced to Steemit, I was hesitant at first because it felt like I have to be a knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and stuff. Then we wrote our first post, and it was just a simple idea about us. We got upvotes for it. I never knew sharing something about your life gets you something. I should have shared more with steemit than facebook or Twitter or wherever. This platform has made us feel appreciated. Thank you, @surpassinggoogle for all your kind words.
Yes, you are awesome and i tell you the awesomest version of yourself is a gift to humanity everytime. I created #untalented and i am very much illiterate and all the words here are me, "no books" involved and it is awesome, sweet, real. So keep it up and keep on awesome. You can always visit with me, when you need strength, direction or advice
I appreciate it so much!!!
I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I lost mine 6 years ago. I'm still struggling with her loss but it gets better everyday. I am sure that wherever your mother is now, she must be really proud of you because you have been an inspiration to many!
Thank you for highlighting that she would be proud. May Jehovah heal us all in Jesus' name amen
Oh Terry, I love your posts so much, they always uplift me right at the perfect moment :) I just wrote a comment to someone that had a very similar message to this post, they were concerned about this and that and negative aspects and wanting people to change, but I told them you can't change anyone, you can only BE the change and if it is positive, practical, uplifting and touches people, then that's how you can affect others to change.
I wish the platform was full of people like you, but you have the energy and presence of twenty people. And I will resteem this post so that others can be affected by you, who is always Being the change he wants to see!
Yeah man
We can only be the change
@surpassinggoogle is a real figure i know soon bro Terry will surpass google
Well I'm 'sis' not bro, lol, but Terry is definitely the man! ;)
Aww dreemit, what can i say, you are full of so much love, it is so touching and sweet that i get speechless. You know i look at steemit and it has life and all its lessons in it and reminds me of humans and how much so the same we are. It is like a mirror and thoguh people don't know it, they are so displayed and its there, with all the eliteness, they are still too much human with all the flaws and it is so obvious even when they feel they can determine other people's value. No one has unforgivable crimes here because everyone so has flaws. Steemit is like cctv for me and its fun to see and a very learning experience. I am slow in my energy level this period, so i am not fast to reach all the comment. I love you and especially now with you and your dad. It is tough. I have notice about these cancer issues, that its the infection part that is even the more harmful part. my mum's was not noticed till it was too late because we didnt have knowledge and not even the doctors in these developing nations. they just keep focusing on the anemia but the infection was the problem like the pneumonia in this case and my mum wasnt showing symptoms, mostly weakness. I am glad they spotted that for your dad in the meantime and that they are working on it. If i came to USA, i will tell you my story more fully. it breaks that heart. In posts, it can't be fully expressed because the tears will be missing
I hope so much that you will one day come here! I will make sure you have the grandest of all vacations, and you would meet so many people who are full of love like you, so many hugs would come your way! And you and I would have tears together too. xxxooo to the moon!
Very inspiring...
I have been promoting steemit passively without know and I just realized that.And I think it is because in back of my mind I know that I own steemit or at least apart of it.
In every gathering I bolster steemit, I have been talking about steemit to my colleagues in office and to my friends...
I guess I my self am becoming steemit.
I will like you to join the group of promoter on steemit discord.
Hello @xabi, nice that you are promoting steemit to people around you. Link: https://discord.gg/WyAqgZ
I will be glad to see you there.
Thanks.
@seyiodus.
yeah sure why not
Hahaha so touching funny xabi but i tell you that is how it works. One has to feel these things, else we won't be as effective and this goes for things in general. Jumping steps aren't as effective
Yes you are right.. So I am taking practical steps now, like inviting my friend on tea to promote steemit and designing steem logo shirts to distribute among fellows.
Hi Terry,happy you are back in the mix after the sad loss of your mum. Thanks for your inspiring words on a vision we all should own going into the new year....that is to spread the steemit gospel far and wide. I am the nigerian guy you made a promise to the other day alongside @oluwolelaide
Hahaha awesome.. Long time. I am still struggling but i am here. Please read my previous post too. I have more tips for you in my response there. When you do your #introduceyourself post, you can drop me the url or olu can in chat. Yes i lost her and i am touched that you know.
There is no limit on how we can work on steemit and also help boost the Steem, We all have to join hands together and work so as to enable the Steem spring up, Steem is currently struggling to make a space and moon up but with our consistent help we can help ease that struggle and see Steem at the top as we are all benefactors if it does, So why don't we want to raise it?? currently we are all focused on the sbd which is pegged at a dollar and will also return to a dollar, Why not work for something that is certain to be up permanently and not fluctuate like the sbd.
You have written well, we should work for what will stay up and not fluctuate.
Apart from promoting steem, we aren't to dwell too much on how steem won't work but more on how we won't let it fail
I agree with much of what you said so much I tweeted the link out and shared it on my facebook page.
Great work for promoting it
Thank you very much. That is already something big. Every tiny role here counts. Thank you again. Hope you are doing okay
I am doing good, still waiting to get to move into my house, but at least it is done, we are now waiting on the city too get the state to approve the permit for the transformer for the electric to be connected. Hoping for a Christmas Miracle, as I was told it can be as quick as a week to as long as 3 months before the state approves it. Talk about stressful.
Hi sir terry, i already voted you as witness, im so proud of you! Many filipinos and nigerian are active because you value and appreciates our post and promoting steemit. Our testimony is one of the best promoting steemit! Thank you @surpassinggoogle :)
You are welcome. I am proud of you too and thank you for expressing these things to inspire me in return. Keep on awesome
YES. Most people are in it as passengers hoping for a free ride into orbit. If each person on here took a tiny bit of personal responsibility to promote and bring value to the platform...BOOM!
Hahaha to how you describe but it is so true. I smile/laughed though but its so true and simply what i painted here in the entire blog. Sometimes people use length of blog to define value but its all subjective cos technical zaps like this, equals quality too. This feels like a zap on @zappl to me
Brevity. It's a beautiful thing. Thanks @surpassingoogle
Another miraculous post my friend. Thank you for sharing these wonderful words. I am writing a series about why steem will explode due to a convergence of many things aligning. It is people like you who make that so.
I am going to have to mull over this thought. I love the ownership mindset. This is ours...we each own a piece of this. Now what are you going to do with it? Stop complaining and get busy.
You are a blessing to all of us on here...Thanks @surpassinggoogle.
Hahaha so yes and that sole knowledge is alot. You are a blessing. Hahaha i wonder if i am owing a comment in my previous post but i will get to it. I am really slow this period
Thank you for the kind words @surpassinggoogle.
We are all blessed to find this place. I am writing a post now off the basic idea you mentioned in here. I will post a link to this article for you so that anyone can read the source....
You inspired this.....and give you credit...thank you....

Hahaha i am your fan. Everything i build and do on steemit is for you and humans in general even those yet unborn. Even my very simple posts is targetted at them
Thank you sir.
This is one of my blog. Future steemian. Hope you take time to read it. Sorry but its just simple. https://steemit.com/untalented/@tentalavera/hi-i-m-eugo
Your are just an inspiration all by yourself. How do you do all that you do?
You are richer on your inside than you think Sir. Like I always say, I will be waiting to read all your thoughts in a book. You will say I said it, #bestselling author loading.....
very true bro
But i think he will do well @SurpassingBestSeelerAuthors I never thought of book by @surpassinggoogle before
Yes bro, it is Jehovah's special gift to me. Thanking you for spotting the spottables. The books will be written.
Yes i agree! ngayon ko lng na realize na dapat pala rin ako mag advertise ng steem at steemit.... thanks for the informations....
Salamat po. Walang anuman. Welcome on steemit
sana maka sali ako minsan sa steem meet ups ng steemph... ako lang kase mag isa steemer dito sa probinsya namin...
You're one of the best!
Let's take steemit to the moon and with you it's not impossible
I take step in your goals
I join and help in the campaign with all i have
For the benefits of the many
Thanks for this inspiring post again @surpassinggoogle. You have everyone on your back supporting you because of your hardwork and ideals. And also for the #untalented ones
Hahaha thank you bro for a wonderful piece of comment
You're as inspiring as ever, sir Terry... In terms of promotion, I recently went to my uncle's house. As I was catching up with everyone there, I wore my Steemit shirt and introduced the platform to them... They asked lots of questions and are very interested about Steemit... My cousin immediately signed up that day... Unfortunately, they're having a problem right now since my uncle's father died... However, after everything settles down they'll be on here.. I'll be telling my other cousins about other alternatives.. Will dO my best in promoting steemit In the family first... then, I'll start with friend (though some other friends are already here, too).. ^^
Yes, i know of you and what you do. Sorry about what they had to go through. May Jehovah heal them. You are doing really well. It will get obviouser over time
Thank you sir.. We offer it all to our God... I created a post earlier inspired by this lost of yours.. I tried promoting steem in my own style.. I hope you can give me a feedback on it. Much appreciated sir Terry.
This is really true.
Thats why I always read your blogs terry I always get inspiration and advises from your blogs although mostly of my blogs now are contributions to utopian I make my graphics design as much as possible presentable so not only to impress the moderators but It also feels good that youve done your best as well. And thanks for always supporting my new recruits whenever I reached-out to you terry, God bless
I'm always inspired by his articles also especially the quoted ones it moves me.
Hahaha thank you
You are welcome, stay awesome.
Awesomeness. Doing things to impress others is always there but it very much involve impress us first. I have so noticed your progress and you are on the right track. Keep on like that and opportunities will seek you
Thanks terry your blogs still amazes me it seems like im chatting with someone with long conversation :○ stay awesome terry
Hahaha yes. It is shaped that way cos i actually care and talk to everyone as i write. And seriously, i talk to the world and generations yet unborn and people at the edge of a cliff and breakdown
Tnx Terry you just dont know you inspired me how to bring steem to the Moon.Our team will continue working hard to bring steem to the moon through campaign..And good news my daughter is now at steemit and we will both do a Mother and Daughter team up youth campaign.My daughter username is @Jimbarcelona she has a lot to share at steemit anf a good youth role model to the community by bringing youth to steemit..Youth must learn more from steemit and develope their talents here such as #steemgigs and #untalented.

fantastic post that had to upvote and resteem, every little micro transaction we do, every bit of time we spend here, every bit of value we put in, every little conversation, all adds up. hear hear!
Hahaha bro, so yes. You grasped. Long time no hear but i have been seeing your progress. Working on steemgigs alpha, hopefully in a few weeks something should be out for testers
i'm excited mate. i've had a bit of flu but i'm getting better and more clearer and returning to full strength soon! :) but yeah, building up, bit by bit! :)
Sorry about the flu. Rest is good. I am resting too. My mum died and it is still fresh. I spent the last 16 days of her life with her from hospital to hospital. Burial was recently done too. Before that i hadn't seen her for close to 5 years. So i am in rest mode too
yeah i saw a few posts, i found it hard to tune into that phase of time, i hope you are in rest mode but are keeping mentally tuned in. extremely sorry for your loss. it's still hard regardless if you had not seen her. i don't see my mum or father too.
I am in rest mode but mentally tuned in. Now i want to do more than before or ever. There will be good times
no doubt. glad your mind is firing and you have a clear perspective on the way forward.
Storing the coins isn't a bad idea at all. We store the coins and work hard so that steem works and steem moons
If we make it happen and eventually make Steem high, it is for out own good, we don't need to impress people to work on something that would benefit our pockets l, The current price of the Steem and sbd is so wide and it has been like that for almost two weeks or more, since the increase I found a video yesterday that could explain better why the sbd was up and meanwhile was meant to be tagged at a dollar, At the end of the video the user said it would surely go down because what goes up must surely come down, Hahaha, Steem is the real deal we should focus on it and I hope it overcome this struggles lately.
You need no soothsayer th
O tell you steem is a future bomb awaiting explosion. I am happy that I am playing a major role in marketing of steem blockchain to whoever I happen to come across. It is my wish that steem takes over our worthless national currency.
@eurogee
@eurogee no love for our naira? :)
Your naira is being mismanaged, making its value worthless. I have no regards for it. Sorry
Hahaha
I never intend to power down not because I dont have need for cash but its my little token/investment to to steemit.
I believe Steem will soon shoot.
Hahaha the naira. Hahaha Jehovah help us. I will write so much about Naija in the near future. We will have roles together
Hahaha, steem will thrive. We are here. We all have to be solidly here and steem is bound to thrive, for it has all it takes, us included.
Well said it has us and we should support.
How do I do the gift cards. I am really interested in this way of promoting Steem. I also need your support too since it involves giving out to the newbies.
I am always your witness and supporting you.
Thanks.This is an inspiring post. I am doing #promo-steem for #promo-southafrica. In fact, I am the only one that is using the tag for South Africa. You have really giving me an idea on the gift card thing for promotion.
@seyiodus.
you are already doing great on promotions
The gift card will really help you
I have something similar that helps me.@seyiodus
Thanks @samiwhyte. It will really help but it will need funding too. In that aspect, I am not financially buoyant since things are expensive here. But i am looking forward to it and make some sacrifice for it also.
Doesn't exactly need money. You can always improvise. The card is an effective improvisation. Then share steemit posts of established users using posts in the niche of your audience. You can hijack meetups that are already in existence and add to it a steemit agenda. You can also invite steemians to talk in video calls or lt them record the videos in advance. Plus, the normal step to take, is to elevate your own journey first, this will give you way more impact.
Thanks @surpassinggoogle. I really appreciate your advice and I will do as you have said especially the hijacking of meetups that are already in existence and giving them the gift cards.
#africa is for africa in general too. I know many steemians who reside in SA. You will come accross them overtime. The image i laid out is all you need. You simply show it to the printer and they will print copies on hard card-like paper. You can edit the contact number in the text to be yours and perhaps the gift amount to the SA currency, then show off new people who join (their #introduceyourself post). i don't mind seeing these posts
Alright sir. I am asking of where to see a printer around already. I am not leaving in the main city but I know I will see one easily. I will also let you know how it is going and those that will join through the idea because I get the idea from.
Also , I am working on my steemit Tshirt. Both will make my promotion more effective.
Thanks and God bless you.
Ultimately if you have what you have in mind already, things will start to pave way. If there is money or even steemians in your area can do things, like courier printouts. Steemians can do these thingsIn your case, you may have to join in with some from SA. I will look for way to drop you link to the #africa discord. There are lot of SA residents there. giantbear, dragonslayer, dracosalieri, onetree etc are all in SA. Since you life faraway from the city area.
I am in the #africa discord and I had a chat with dragonslayer once before but he was busy and we could not chat for long. Others, I have not chat with and I am looking forward to #promo-steem with them. Thanks sir.
Quoting you again
"Don't Keep Stressing
While others who understand fully that they are co-owners of steem are incessantly looking for reputable ways to shoot steem to the moon, we lose steam even steem, indecisive on whether to perch or land.
Without landing, you can't be really effective towards your steemit success, for there will always be "but(s)".
And while you spend ages hoping that whales will come around and visit and ages getting deterred when they don't visit, how about spending that time building your own whale? How about remembering this:
You are whale to me!"
NOW MY COMMENT.
To be successful on this platform then you need to look beyond just making money or SBD. There is more to steemit/steem. Thus point has been repeatedly emphasized but i still people that just want to keep doing it for the of the monetary gain. I think that should be a secondary thing. The primary purpose should be that everyone to see this platform as an avenue to prove a point the world or any one that cares to know the stuff they are made through various invention and ideas that can be displayed through this platform.
If everyone can have that mentality then landing o the moon is a reality that can quickly.
I try to focus more on buliding my Steem Power(sbd) in other to be more useful like @surpassinggooogle to the newbies and minnows. And as well acquire more Steem in order to build this platform to what we want it to be. Thats why I refuse to Power down.
I'm not saying those that power down don't have plan but am only trying to share my own long time plan for this platform.
I pray the steemit/ steem will continue to grow especiaily when it is finally lunched officially.
Just my thought about how landing properly on the moon can be possible. Thank you.
So on point. So one point. Another thing is several sapping so much energy on what's wrong with steem or unnecessary fears as to whether steem will crumble. How about gather them tokens and put all that effort into "steem won't fail". Overall, this post touches on life itself. When i talk steemit i talk mostly life cos this is the very weakness of the developing nations, where my voice lies
Thank you for this great response. Always inspired by you. Doing all i can to make sure that I make some positive impact in my vicinity as well. Just believe in service to humanity which is the best work of life. Thank you
Yea bro absolutely correct these word is very motivation for me so i reblog this post awesome post keep posting a blog like this great work bro. And so steem is doing great work i salute to steemit.
Thank you very much for the acknowledgement. Steemit does change life
Many thankful to you for motivating my life and change my mood for using steemit again. By watchibg your progress and blog i am able to use steemit otherwise i left steemit.
a tree does not make a forest, while a single person cannot make a crowd.it true that a simple thank you can change many things, it can even inspire the author to do more to promote steem.
So no doubt
sure no doubt, cos the greatest thing is to invest in other people
Beautifully said, thank you for the encouragement! I am a minnow but I hope to soar one day!
You so will! Let some time fly but not emptily by
Fantastic post, very inspiring, full steemit ahead!
You're one of the best!Thanks for such inspiring words @surpassinggoogle !
I have been on Steemit about 5 months and Steemit has become a wonderful special place to me! I have been able to do many things here and I enjoy being here.
I do my best to make Steemit more popular: I tell about Steemit all my friends and acquaintances. I have been promoting Steemit, I bolster it in every gathering!
I have already turned all big amount of my SBD into STEEM POWER to grow my vote!
Awesomeness
Damm! Ryt steemit is us and its our responsibility taking it to the moon 🌚 wonderful thought it's a great model
No doubt
I am wowed by this post. I may not have posted or done anything spectacular on steemit, but I must confess that I have learnt a whole lot from you. I am inspired and I must make it work on steemit. Thanks for the motivation.
It will work. My posts usually have all the information for speed on steemit and life as a whole. "No books" involved. I am wowed by you and expression of your awesomeness here. You inspired me in return
Hey Terry! i like ur style and always get uplifted after reading one of ur posts. very cool. and i hope i can folllow ur example and spread the steemit word..
Thank you bro. Really inspiring. You will do great things for sure
a tree does not make a forest, while a single person cannot make a crowd.it true that a simple thank you can change many things, it can even inspire the author to do more to promote steem.
No doubt
Hi Terry, we will work hard to bring it to the moon and Further. Trust we have, Day by Day we have to make people aware; and it will be BIG. There will be one platform... only one! And we are one!
Hardwork is the key and I hope when we put more effort the Steem responds sooner.
Agreed
Inspiring... Yup!! I'll do my best to get steemit to the moost, I just got an idea for uptopian (is your untalented utopian contest still running?)... wish me luck!!
Yes with untalented contests, everyone wins something. It is till open, just submit me the url of the post in a comment. I will try look out for the comment. These days, i miss out on some comments cos i get plenty
my brain got tremblig in these ideas. i need more rice to eat ...hehehe but keep it up sir @surpassinggoogle
Okay, i will keep it up. Eat rice and do thinking too.
yes sir, i am looking forward for the new updates. @surpassinggoogle
Wow! Your passion with Steemit is truly amazing. You motivate people to do good here. You’re indeed a blessing to so many Steemians! I wonder how we can repay your kindness. Thank you very much.
Hahaha thank you. Just create awesomeness. We repay the world with it.
But I don't Have Steem Power
Hahaha, do you really really think steem power is stronger than will power or people power (community power)?
This is great lines ..
No doubt.
Steemit is sharing :) I love your gift cards sir. Hope to share it soon :)
Please share freely
Wow, I've got goosebumbs on this post Sir. I've been contributing on Utopian for a while now and it's very rewarding and also busy. Thank you for the other links. I'll cherish it and check some of them to see what would fit me too like utopian and busy. I am looking forward to your steemgigs to have its own too. Cheers!
I do hope steemgigs come out well. Utopian and busy is good for you. For promoting steem others will come in handy depending on your audience. There is also dlive, for someone who is fond of doing live videos
Nice , information, thanks for that, steemit deserve to be promoted for it has done us good, I will like to join the promoting group.
Please join in and yes steemit is awesome
Thanks
Big ups to @onos for this great help he did for me
Awesome. Welcome on steemit. I tell you, it is life-changing
I think you are absolutely right Steemit first of all society, and a person can not live without society, he alone is something, together we are power and only together we can create such a platform that there are no analogues and together we will fly to the moon.
No doubt
great dear friend Terry I feel that I really became talented with you even if I'm still untalented.....your blogs always give me power and energy to continue ....great news dear wish you success forever @surpassinggoogle
Yes. I am glad about that. You are a rare gem to me
and you are my inspirational dear Terry
I am glad
Very interesting blog post terry. Steemit already changed my life without my knowledge. I don't know how was attracted my mind fro steemit. I believe steemit is better media platform around the world. It would be giving more opportunities to me. No I am being promoting level coz steemit.
I have already talked to my friends, office mates, village peoples about steem platform. They will coming soon to steem community.
Awesome. There is something called the "steemit effect", you wouldn't know it is creeping in and it is a beautiful thing.
Steemit is life. Steemit is love. That's how I I live my life these days. Yeah, it's crazy I know ;) Terry is very influential. Wink.
Wink Ms. Awesome
