Hello :)
I started my Steemit adventure in January 2021.
I've been away for a while due to boredom in my personal life which has taken me out of the steem world and the internet in general but I've always come back and now I'm sure it'll last :)
I stumbled across the platform by chance, I don't know how, maybe a blog post or a social network post.
I'm part of Worldofxpilar but nothing local, the French community seems very small.
I'm nearly at 15k SP so that's already a few dolphins ^^
So far I've always raised my own SP from the start even if sometimes I've needed money in my life I've always been able to get by without so Club 100!
I've set myself a minimum goal of 20k and then maybe I'll do club75 but for now it seems more interesting to put everything in SP to have a vision for the future.
I'm a photographer, so I mainly post my photo jobs and diary-style reports. I have a few contacts who regularly upvote my posts and I thank them! Especially @stef1 who has always been a support and a guide :) I'd also like to thank @axeman who has helped me understand this whole universe and introduced me to the Worldofxpilar community! And @pixelfan and a few others, sorry I'm probably forgetting some :)
I've received several upvotes from the @steemcurator accounts and I'd like to thank them for that. It's always a pleasure to discover their support for my posts and it motivates me to continue posting regularly!
The WOX community is pretty engaged, I don't get comments every day but it happens regularly anyway and it's always a pleasure to get feedback on my work.
I'm thinking about other ways of posting, maybe with less text as it's not my primary ability, but with, for example, light shots to show how certain photos are made.
Games and competitions are important for daily participation, and help when I'm not necessarily inspired :)
Games are always fun! I'd love to be able to propose an AI creation game, for example, but I don't think I've seen one.
I don't know any game developers in my community, sorry :)
Thank you all and I look forward to continuing this journey with you!
Hi Quentin, it was a pleasure to read your story and to discover once again your journey in Steemit. There are always many different reasons why we are here, but what values is that we can find our own niche but also good people who guide, support and encourage. Luckily there are some people who are helpful but also that they are also staying here for a long time.
I think throughout the life on Steemit we seek and try to find optimal way for us how to make our blogging interesting and how to gain consistency but also financial profit from it, because it is a rewarding system and why not to use it for our time spent here.
I am glad that you restarted and active now, hope you will reach your goal soon too.
I always keep an eye on your blog even though I am not commenting so often. You have such amazing portofolio and you are right, it is not necessary to write long texts, often we do not have much to say but to present in our photos. Thank you for your story!
Thank you very much :)
Greetings friend @quentindeschamps
I'm glad you're back, and that you're determined to stay active on the platform, and continue adding Steem Power. It's important to have friends or colleagues who guide and support us during our stay on Steemit. Photos are excellent for a post, I'm sure that with just a few words you can complement your content.
Thank you very much :)
It's great to read you and the Dutch community doesn't exist either.
Good luck, there is plenty of interest for photography especially if there's some discription.
🍀♥️
Thank you very much @steemcurator08 @wakeupkitty and all the community :)
You are welcome, a great day to you
♥️🍀
I'm glad you're back and sharing your pictures with us. Your pictures are great and so are your captions.
Thank you very much @xpilar :)
My journey in Steem/Steemit began almost immediately after its creation in 2016.
I can’t recall exactly how, but I stumbled upon a mention of it on some website. Back then, before the crypto boom, I dabbled in Forex. There were also clickers and email newsletters where you could "earn" 0.001.$ I was simply curious about how something could materialize out of nothing,
even just 1$. So, it’s no surprise I came across a Steem/Steemit ad.
Yes, I am a member of the Ukraine on Steem community—it’s great to have a place to communicate in my native language and share my life.
At first, it was very tough because the lack of support demotivates newcomers. After a few posts, I switched to a Steem clone and stayed there for several years. Four years ago, I returned, and for the last three years, I’ve been active, especially in the past six months. I’ve been part of the curator team twice and a teacher in the SLC twice.
If it weren’t for withdrawing 12 STEEM seven years ago (just 12!!! 😅), I’d say I’ve never done a Power Down and never cashed out STEEM. On the contrary, to increase my influence on the platform, I bought 3/4 of my STEEM POWER on exchanges back in the day. Now I have 31K SP and plan to reach at least 50K as a Club100 member. I’ll probably keep going in the same direction. Will I ever do a Power Down? No idea, hehe.
I prefer writing intellectual content as a counterbalance to today’s trends. Back then, there were calls to create "evergreen content," but now diaries dominate. For example, I’d write educational posts rather than daily logs. That’s why I’m not a fan of writing about yesterday’s coffee or shopping, though I’ve almost gotten used to it.
Yes, I occasionally receive curator votes, and I’m deeply grateful for them. Without that support, motivation often fades—or rather, their backing boosts it.
Sometimes posts get few comments, sometimes many—it depends on the topic, timing, community activity, and size. Recently, simplified registration was introduced, so I hope our numbers will grow. Many complained they couldn’t invite friends due to SMS issues. Since I mentioned active commenters, I’ll invite them here: @golden-rain, @diodao, @cranium.
As for games, I don’t know much. There were some with collectible cards, but they didn’t interest me, so I don’t remember details. Though if there were many, I’d probably know.
Привіт, дякую за запрошення.
Я також віддаю перевагу інтелектуальному контенту.
А що таке "вічнозелений контент"? От таке формулювання вперше чую.
Hi @sergeyk
Nice to see a veteran, there aren't many of us left from 2016.
I discovered steem via the crypto exchange back then and got curious.
I ended up buying 32K steem for a price between 3 and 4 dollars and opened the @xpilar account.
At first it was hard to get in touch with other users here, it was like they didn't care. But after a while I made a lot of friends from all over the world.
