I've been on @steemit for less than 4 months and it's been an amazing journey. I started in the dark without knowing a soul and only knowing the @dollarvigilante through his youtube videos.
I can remember jumping all in and grinding through weeks of no post payouts. I loved the challenge, but it was frustrating. I didn't cry, but was incourage after @blocktrades upvoted my #introduceyourself.
I'm still a tiny minnow, and I love upvoting all the tiny fish posts. One day my vote will be strong enough that it might add a few $.01 to a post, and I can't wait for that day.
A shout out to a few users in my community that helped me build my profile on Steemit. First has to be @fyrstikken. When @fyrstikken started upvoting my post, I really started seeing my steem power grow. @benjojo has been an absolute blessing to my account. His Steem Power increased my momentum considerably. Both @benjojo and @fyrstikken provide first-class original content.
Now to my early support, the minnows and dolphins who I united with in the beginning. @venuspcs was a huge motivator in the beginning, because my post were no longer $.00 payouts. @dumar022 stands out as one of my first supporters. He has an amazing profile, and has some of the best content on Steemit. Of course @moon32walker has to be mentioned. When users like @tee-em, @moon32walker, @etcmike, @dexter-k, @ervin-lemark, @levycore, @ace108 and @whatsup started upvoting me, I was hooked for good. I was making friends with people who I have never met in person.
Special thanks to @whatsup who started on @steemit around the same time as me. I can remember her sincere comments to my early post. She has always been a great support to my profle.
So many others to thank, like my favorite artist, @steemit-life or the great motivator, @craig-grant. If you aren't following any of the above profiles on Steemit, you need to start.
I'm so thankful for all the followers and I hope we all continue to grow in steem power and reputation on this amazing platform. Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes to my @steemit family from @runridefly.
