Introduce Yourself In The Comments.. Meet Others and Compare Interests.
One of the most common complaints I hear from people with young accounts is it is difficult to find a following. I agree it is difficult to find others who might be interested in your posts. Don't feel too bad even those of us who have built an audience are feeling like readers are a bit scare right now.
Let's try this... (I have no idea if it will be effective)
Make a comment giving a short description of who you are and what you write about. I'm not looking for your real life name, but rather who you are on Steem and what you are about and interested in.
One of the reasons I quit myspace and moved to Facebook was how easy Facebook made it in the early years to find your friends and those who held the same interests. It was a lot more fun to engage with people who I either knew or had shared interests with.
I encourage you (on this post only to) drop a link and a description of yourself in the comments. If you drop one, also find someone else to follow. It is a slightly organized follow4follow post.
I will highlight the 10 introductions that I find the most interesting and there might be bonuses as well.
It's just an experiment, take a minute post about your interests and if you think it might be helpful give it a resteem.
Who knows you might find a new supporter as well.
Meet up in the comment section.
Feel free to invite others to your discord servers as well while you are at it, give your own a comment an upvote if you like! Have a little fun, let your hair down.
I hang out in SteemSpeak: Come in and say hi https://discord.gg/DdPVYE
Hi all! I initially came here as a means to earn some crypto but it’s evolved into so much more than that, leaving it behind so many other benefits.
I’d say the majority of the pieces deal with the world of comics and toys...movies and television. Things along that nature. I’m a giant child that’s made a few films and owns a comic and toy shop so those things along with my animals, and family & friends are what keeps me waking up in the morning.
I’m very active here so if any of that stuff interests ya, please feel free to hit me up and talk about some nerd shit. Check out my profile and see if any of my nonsense tickles your fancy. Would love to meet some fans who maybe lost their passion along the way or have never even considered picking up a comic. You’d be surprised how much you might enjoy it!!

If you own a toy shop , do u have the ability to MAKE toys? or u just resell them?
because we have a HUGE potential demand for steem toys, plastic steem logo figurines with arms and legs than you can adjust and move... (Imagien a steemlogo a btc and an eos and bitshares logo all just hangin out on your dekstop like office toys ! :D ) and steem buttons stickers, but especially likl steem logos in 3d plastic injected molded, we just need lots of lil steem logos evrywhere
That's a great idea!
Sadly I just own the shop that sells toys. Buuuuuut...Steemit’s very rockstar @saywha just got a 3D printer. Perhaps he could weigh in a bit??
Haha, a giant child should fit right in. I've already started to get used to seeing your name around. You I suspect will do well!
Thank so much!! Yeah I’ve seen yours as well since I’ve been on here which is about 3 months. I’m trying to connect with folks. Happy with the progress I have made so far. The community I’m in for the most part is pretty small but really supportive. We all look out for each other here. Sucks to see involvement decrease though when the price tanks a bit. I’m trying to take adbantage of it by churning out stuff on the regular. Thanks for the follow. I look forward to chatting with ya more but for now I’m going to bed. Lol. I just wrote and posted a long and mentally exhausting piece. Drained. G’night!!!!
Hi there! @blewitt I just sent you a free booster pack of Steem Monster cards! You can go to steemmonsters.com to open them up! I think you will love them, it is a new collectible trading card game with battles coming soon on the Steem blockchain! There is also a Discord you will like once you get into the Monsters! https://discord.gg/G2RtTSj
Yeah I’ve seen it around but don’t normally play. I’ve been interested to at least check it out so I know a bit about it. So thank you! I truly appreciate this gesture. I’ll let you know this week when I finally sit down and check it out! You rule!
We have a saying around here, " Come for the money, stay for the community" ....
Stay for the Crypto and Community :)
Thats my mantra too :) we want more people like this! Those who come for the money and stay for the money are often a drain on the system :P
That’s pretty much what’s it’s become. Don’t get me wrong...one of the goals is to build up my account to where it allows me freedoms to do the things I want and envision but it’s become so much more than that. The satisfaction I get when someone actually likes something I contributed is fantastic.
You own a toy shop? - Do you have military miniatures (plastic? airfix or revell - lots of others)
Did I ask you this already, sorry?
My current military figures are bamboo chopsticks, painted! (I kid you not)
😂 😂
That’s awesome! I have 0 talent when it. Ones to this kind of stuff. I love seeing it though.
Sadly our shop isn’t really a hobby shop but more of a comic book and toy store. Action figures, funko pops, statues, t-shirts, graphic novels. Things like that. We don’t really do the models. Hell, even gaming we are very limited with as there are so many gaming shops in our area.
Those are so awesome!
...talking about nerd shit - could you recommend a good program for drawing hex campaign maps (idiot proof, and free - I'll be using it)
Lol...here is where I disappoint you! That is some next level nerd shit that I know nothing about sadly. My brain is filled with tons of useless geek stuff but that...I am clueless on. I’m so sorry. I blewitt.
😂😂👍 👍
Hey @whatsup. I'm @Gersonsucks!
I enjoy writing and making music, it is therapeutic for me. It's kinda like writing in my diary or journal and then expressing it out loud. I post my songs on @dsound and they are more of a sad hiphop type genre just to warn you if you go looking at my sounds :)
I recently was living in Southern California running a medical @cannabis business with 2 greenhouses that I had to build from the ground up ( I should make a post about that) that also did thc extractions, but laws change and so we had to adjust to them. Hence, why I am back in Illinois.
I also plan on getting on @dlive and streaming whenever I work on a song or just game to meet new people. I am getting obsessed with @steemmonsters thanks to @clove71 and the rest of the @steemspeak community! I'm still waiting for my first gold foil card, but it will come with time :)
My Introduction post is https://steemit.com/introduction/@gersonsucks/hello-steemit-i-m-gerson if you want to know more!
It's nice to meet everyone!
I was sold on this first sentence! Music is life! Im into people who like to make and share music so I will follow you and check out your page :)
Welcome gersonsucks! It's been fun to meet you on SteemSpeak.
Awesome beat in I miss you :)
Thank you! It's a special song for me
<3
Glad you found Banjo :)
Banjo hates me for testing his gangster
Word! Nice to meet ya too bro I’m on Dsound a lot myself @gersonsucks
Nice pic, the cannabis community has grown massively since i joined steemit a year ago, be sure to use cannabis tag, there is also a canna curate group
I'll go first! I'm @mazzle and I write about beer (a lot!) and sometimes crypto stuff. I also write about wildlife photography and occasionally something deep and potentially dark about life in general.
I was doing video but have now started writing in Steem Press for something new and different.
I've been on Steemit for a while now, since October last year. So I'm not really new, I just like finding new content creators to follow and engage with. :)
nice to meet you @mazzle
Haha, given that I've shaken your hand in a bar I don't think this is our first time meeting. :P
Really? Dang it. I was so excited... Its working, it's working! haha.
Haha I think it is working for you, @itstime and I both live in Melbourne, Australia.
let's try again..take 2
Its nice to meet you @whatsup ..appreciate the meetup effort
Ha! That was fun and nice to meet you. I've followed you and look forward to checking out your blog.
same here..followed and resteemed
wow, what an interesting coincidence or do you just follow each other in comment and support as well as the local bar? LOL Too funny!!
We have Steemit meet ups in Melbourne from time to time which are quite neat. I had no idea that so many Aussies were on Steemit until I started going to the meet ups.
@mazzle oh so niceeee!!! lucky you and they must be lovely. :)
Aye, @erodedthoughts have you two met? You (and @irreverent-dan who also posts a lot about beer) are the people I probably feel can relate to @mazzle :D
Hey lady, how are things?
Awesome I believe... Arm is healing and I am doing more here :)
I follow @irreverent-dan. We participate in a weekly beer contest. :)
Awesome :)
I like beer! lol My buddy back in South Carolina is actually pursuing a career in the brewing industry. He has been home brewing for a couple of years now. He recently won first place at the local beer festival with his Taco beer. Gave you a follow so I can see what stuff you recommend in the future.
Awesome! I started homebrewing a little while ago as well. I greatly doubt I'm on the same skill level as your friend though. I've had a taco flavoured beer before. It was very different. :)
Lol I really like beer but I do enjoy wildlife photography. I'm sure we can reach a middle ground or something. Following you @mazzle and @itistime. I look forward to engaging. Kindly follow back if you can tolerate my content
Hello everyone! I'm nini, I like art since I was a girl, I like to draw and paint a lot, also sing and dance. I also like horror and science fiction movies. I love animals and I would like to form a foundation to protect those who leave the streets. I am a student of business administration and I would like so much to travel around the world!♥
Art is always in high demand and check out reddust.
Check out @eye4art from Monday :)
Hey everyone! I just started steemit this week! I'm a PhD student and I love taking photos. I'm planning on writing a series of blogs on obscure histories of everyday objects and symbols. I'm new to creative writing and this platform seems like a perfect way to hone in on the skill.
Here's a short article I wrote about the history of the Barber's Pole https://steemit.com/life/@capra/the-gruesome-history-of-the-barber-s-pole-ddb6e5e0fcafbest
Hi @capra Welcome to Steemit. Your choosen niche is very interesting. Hope to get interesting topics from you. Cheers
Hi @capra looking forward to seeing what type of photos you re taking! Yes, this is a perfect place to hone in on your skills.
Hey @capra :) Welcome to the community. If you write check out those who do five minute free writes with @mariannewest or follow @isleofwrite here and on discord https://discord.gg/juRSAdx to learn even more on writing contests and writing communities. This is just one of them to help you maneuver :)
Sweet! Thanks for the heads up, will do!
:)
Hey guys,
I'm new on Steemit. About a week ago I started to use it but at the beginning I have seen Steemit only a way to earn son cryptocurrencies. During this week I understood that it is much more.
Now I'm using Steemit more then Instagram and Facebook, it's very interesting and it has an amazing community
During my free time I play basketball and take some photos. Moreover I'm addicted to TV Series and I'm interested about Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies.
So if you want to see some amazing photos or to read some articles about basketball, blockchain or crypto follow me and tell me what you think about what I do. Now I'm really active
I write also in Italian
Huge basketball fan here too. I've been enjoying NBA free agency this offseason so far. Do you follow the NBA as well or only local leagues in your country?
Both. NBA offseason is really interesting. I'm a Lakers fan since I was a child and I'm really happy to see what happened. I hope in an amazing season (also for 76ers)
As a Lakers fan you must be excited about the Lebron James signing. It will be interesting to see if they can add another star for him to play with either this year or next year.
The perfect star to buy in my opinion is Kawhi Leonard but in this moment a trade is really unfair. Probably next year come (I hope)
GSW is unbelievable
Yea I agree he would be a good fit alongside Lebron. I think they will end up waiting until next year to make another big move in free agency. Klay Thompson is a name I am hearing that could go play there next year.
Klay would be really amazing. I love him like a player, fantastic shooter and super solid player
Welcome! We have a few others who are Italian. Hopefully someone will tag them.
Nice to meet new arrivals, where one lives does not really matter, we all live under the same blue sky...
Yes I have already seen them. Thank you
Basically, EVERYONE IS! welcome , welcome!
Hello all! Thanks for the great idea @whatsup!
Quick rundown: Father | U.S. Air Force veteran | Sports Fanatic | Amateur Photographer | Sports Performance Coach | Interested in all things (literally)
While my steemit account is almost a year old (343 days) I have only been active on it for a little over a month. Life got real busy last year as I was finishing up my B.S. in Exercise Science, completing an internship for a top Sports Performance company, and preparing for the arrival of my daughter Oaklyn all at the same time. Clearly I had no free time for blogging. The good news is now I do!
I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community and building relationships with a lot of you. If you have some free time check out my introduction post or some of my most recent posts below. Enjoy your weekend!✌️
• You are posting too often. Yes YOU!
• Ulog #2 - The rich get richer.
• NBA Free Agent Frenzy - Day 1
• U.S. Soccer = Pay to Play
• Casa Grande Domes - Tourist attraction, ritualistic satanic worship location, or both?
Nice, congrats on your recent activity. If you can carve out a niche and audience right now, with price and activity being a little low, imagine how it will be when we get active again!
Thanks @whatsup! I've really enjoyed the journey thus far. Carving out a niche is going to be the difficult part for me as I have countless interest, but I'm optimistic. I'm in it for the long run so we will see what happens.
Nice @ross-early, you had me at veteran. Following
I followed you as well. 😁
Hello @whatsup and all other Steemians here,
my name is Tom (Thomas), only my mum call me Thomas, hehehe..
I live in Thailand since 8 years now, but made in Germany😜
Travel, photography, spiritualism, nature and animals are my passion.
A truthfinder since a long time, honest and straight.
On Steemit I signed up August last year, but started posting since December.
I can agree, here on Steemit it's not so easy to find true followers for newbees, it's sometimes sad to see when new users writing nice posts and get 0 audience.
I support any similar initiative like yours @whatsup and hope there will come soon changes in the Steemit system, like upvotes, flags, bots etc. all is not perfect until now, but I think all is on a good way.
Here is a link to my latest #ulog post, #ulog is a creation of @surpassinggoogle, thanks again from here.

Best regards and a wonderful weekend to all here
Much Love
Tom
Great to meet you! Have a great weekend also
