Calling on Facebookers to join a Win/Win Scenario!
Campaign to Save People from Facebook!!!
Ok, so it'd been about a week since the last attempt to "Save People from Facebook." With the last time around having such a focus on the money, I wanted to go a slightly different route to really show off how much Steemit allows us to search and usually find a great win/win scenario.
It's so easy for people to view this place as a TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE situation...heck, even I did at first. It took hearing about it from somebody whose opinion I actually trusted. So I wanted to touch on this right away in my latest Facebook 'outreach' post, being willing to stake my reputation on it being real. Then followed up with the massive support this community gives each other everyday in bits ranging from small to ENORMOUS!! I'm more than willing to bet that there are few (if any) online communities providing as much help (technical, emotional, psychological, financial, etc) to others as on here.
So first, let me show you my Facebook post followed by what it said:
What I am Asking From YOU!!
What I'd like to ask the Steemit community to do is two fold:
Share this piece around on your Facebook and/or Twitter. I want those people that have a penchant for caring for others to see this. While there is some mention of money in here...it's all focused around how it's been used to help others...not lining their own pockets.
Please leave leave comments either describing things you or somebody else, has done to help a fellow Steemian.
While it's not often talked about, we really are BUILDING A COMMUNITY here. I'm a Firm believer that life is NOT A ZERO SUM GAME and Steemit, more than anywhere else I've been...
...Provides us with a means to find more WIN/WIN Scenarios then every before.
Let's highlight this a little bit and attract others with this sort of mindset. It's often harder to take something that costs you nothing and is able to help out others as "too good to be true."
And as usual..here's the Obligatory Kitty Pic!

Resteemed upvoted and shared on fb :) totally awesome post I made a similiar one a few months ago !! Thanks for sharing @sykochica
Thank you!! :D
I personally want to see more posts like this get out beyond Steemit. Some people were drawn by the money...but others are drawn buy the opportunity to help others.
Shared on Facebook. Love @papa-pepper he does the most amazing contests, posts and helps people. @meesterboom is the greatest story teller does really funny animations. @olegw for his great flags of the world Steemit collaboration (and his posts are fun too). @giantbear for brilliant stories and motivating posts. @fatpandadesign for sharing his inspiring story and loads of initiatives to help other minnows.
Thanks for the mention :0)
Oh wow!! Absolutely top notch people to mention! What great 'rabbit holes' for perspective users to follow! :D
Though I'd not seen @olegw or @fatpandadesign's stuff before. On my way to check them out.
Thanks for the share and the fantastic list! :D
@sykochica I'm still inviting my FB friends but they are immune at this time. I guess my wallet and followers are not enough but soon it will be a statement for the to see as proof.
I up voted and please follow me @yehey
si hay que invitar todos nuestros amigos de facebook
saludos
Hello does everyone want to know the grow of steemit here is the amazing figures from May
https://steemit.com/steemit/@newmarket65/steemit-2-million-more-website-hits-in-may
follow me and i will follow you
Upvoted and resteemed. I jumped off the Facebook bandwagon a while ago. Sorry Barb from my high school health class, I really don't care what you had for dinner last night. I've been doing my best to spread the word to all my friends though, especially people I know who are fond of reddit.
Haha...that's awesome!!!
Keep that up! There's soo much room here for different content creators, even a little bit for just posting links. Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do to help bring them in, like providing info..maybe a little support at the beginning.
For sure. I'll be referring them to this post as well as some of the wonderful projects, namely the minnow support project, designed to help new users thrive and adjust to the community.
I really hope we get more integrations in the website and expand the ways that we can earn from.
There are external apps but I'd love to see some new stuff being added here on the site..
I'm definitely with you!
Things have been going in a good direction between having peerhub.com being available for sales, open mic nights, meme challenges, art contests, etc. But yea..be even better with more apps being built up like @steepshot and @chainbb. :)
@sykochica i dont think people of facebook will join steemit they will come sighnup and then leave the maain reason for dt is the UI which sucks and lack of knowledge about blockckain technology
If they get the point getting paid then the question in their mind will be how will i cashout and telling them about the whole procedure of cashing out makes them puke and only thing they will say in reply is
"Facebook is easy and better😉"
If u agree dn upvote
People truly and really have to start appreciate what the steem community is doing.
I have been here not long but i have seen something unique here and i intend ti stay and help out anyway i can to promote the work being done here.
Its great and it good to be part of something greater than yourself
We will spread the word.
Loved the article and its strange to find so many people to doubt what you are busy telling them. As i'm still new here and haven't earn anything yet, i am positive by giving and helping your fellow man will help you one day in need as well. I love the cat picture, reminds me alot of my tom boy that passed away not to long ago
Awwww, such a sweet looking kitty! They do look a lot like mine! Sorry to hear they passed away :( Losing pets are insanely rough times. :(
This is so true. I've pretty much built myself up on here over the last year being in the 'helping people' niche and I LOVE it! Such a great win/win. :)
I hope this conmunity will stay far away, as long as possible, from some of the facebook people. I preffer to grow slow instead of be victim of bullshit.
I can definitely understand this. While I don't necessarily want everybody from FB to come over...those who have the mentality of helping others and finding the possible win/win scenarios I'm rather happy to accept with open arms. :)
Totally agree!
I have shared it on my facebook. Usually not much luck with that, but will give it a try again
Love this. I'm so over Facebook. Steemit is so much better. Just a matter of time before Steem > Facebook! Followed/upvoted/appreciated!
Thank you!
I'm definitely with you. Facebook just hurts to be on now. It's also really strange not having the like/upvote button do anything over there. Lol
Time if definitely on our side! :D
