This is a great initiative and I must commend @evarich for this, God bless you real good.

I joined steemit through a friend as I have explained here. The first group I joined was @genesis-project on whatsapp where I interacted with @ewuoso and @pangoli.

@ewuoso told me:

Steemit is your business
treat it like one.

It encouraged me to be serious and work hard.
This spurred me and I got lucky to have good upvotes on my first posts. I can remember how many nights I stay awake just to research deeply about Steemit. I organised two successful meetups and I was able to bring in 6 people.

@pangoli told me:

Interact with people
You cannot make it on your own.

I joined other community and made good friends that has helped me tremendously. I comment on people's post just to make friends with them.

Steemit is a community and we must protect, guide and encourage it's growth so we can all enjoy all its benefits.

Thanks to @antigenx - he has once blessed my post with an upvote and I followed his blog immediately to read quality posts. God bless you too.
