Let's Build A Shareable Steemit Post, That Answers Every Newbie Question And Dispel All Doubts About Steemit! (Ask Me Anything Steemit)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

A Power-up Series For The Philippine Community & Every Newbie And Answers Every Steemit-Related Question!

Brief History

Before steemit, i was surpassing Google

Tackling the aspect of "surpassing Google"; that has to do with surpassing the search engine "Google", here is some things i like to say in my mind's eye:

Type the word "money" into the Google search engine and it should at least give you the address to the nearest ATM.
Human intelligence beats artificial intelligence! Google wake up, else i take over.

In general, "i wanted to poke the globe from its outskirts, with beautiful awesome vibes and rain it with more "tears of joy" and one of the gifts involved in accomplishing this, was an innovation from me!

One such innovation, is a special type of social network, one that infuses the world with love, brotherhood and forgiveness; one that brings about equality and turns boring internet into a haven; a home! 

I drew up the entire model for it and stayed in research-mode to rehearse it into fruition, then i found steemit & steem technology and i instantly understood it. 

"Visions within a dream"; i understood those word from Ned Scott from day one on steemit, without reading the whitepapers. I instantly grasped the underlying beautiful concepts, forming the base of steemit's creation and i saw why it couldn't crumbled. I saw why it fixes!

I didn't stop surpassing Google! "I continued surpassing Google with steemit.com

Why Won't Steemit Crumble?


 "Mining with minds" in a never-ending loop, guarded by a reputation model that checks behavior is genius every time and a gift to humanity". 

If you decide to take a pause, turn your mind's ignition off, even for a short period and think that steemit will falter; "sleep tight; someone out here on steemit, is mining". 

 When I look at it from every angle, the first law of steemit states that:

 "If you bunch up creators; innovators; great minds and especially "humans", out of their own hearty volition, to mine steem with their minds reputably, while making them stakeholders, co-owners etc, of steem technology; then this equal to or greater than; 'a never-ending mini-dream'. @surpassinggoogle

So how about, we look at steemit and steem technology as ours!

 So how about, we look at steemit and steem technology as oursInvestors here, most definitely; convincingly see steem technology as if it is theirs. Whales, dolphins etc; definitely see steem technology as theirs! 

How about steemians like me, with say 1,000 steem power and below? 
How about if we started to treat steemit, like the co-owners that we actually are, as well! 

My point is, if you own a house and you get tenants into it and they misuse the furniture and puncture the walls etc; do we hastily react and pull down the house? Do you leave the house out of tiredness and abandon ownership of it; to the tenants? Most likely, no! We will passionately put in effort to renovate it; to fix it and if it is only one room in the entire building that we own, we will renovate and fix that room!

So if you have only 5 steem power; you are co-owner of steem technology. 

Now, "steemit is beautiful!" If my dear little portion of steemit, is starting to grow scars, do i quit? 

"I will try donate my portion to fix the entire steemit or fix my tiny portion of steemit!"

My conviction is strong! Is yours strong yet? Let's try to fix that, within this post!


 Steemit isn't build to fail!

But if it does fail; in my case, there can't have been a loss! The culture of "mining with minds" as instill in us incessantly by "steemit", will continue endlessly! Only the token changes! 

For an investor here on steemit, it may not be that easy! But the "solution" for steemit not to fail, is easy; 

"We must make sure it doesn't fail and we can!"


Due To Steemit; "Everyone is a GIVER!"

Steemit and steem technology means alot to different people and for some steemians; amongst many other things; steemit is a means to GIVE. "A means to inspire, influence, touch someone out there; by means of a simple upvote or by means of a timely comment".

Once possible, I would buy steem, power it up, just to give it out in upvotes. 

If giving has become as easy as an upvote; "Then for the first time ever, WE have all given". 

"If we have all given; then we have not lost!" 

Be on steemit and there can never be loss!


 

"Come For The Rewards, Stay for the community!"

I wont lie, this is a big statement! On today's internet, a "true community of great minds" is LUXURY. It doesn't exist anywhere! 

 

Facebook can suspend your account, if you live in Philippines and you even as much as send a friend request to someone in USA. 

Steemit is ours and if it fading, we will fix it, enhance it, etc; BUT just if we are a bit tired; if we maintain community at the very least; some steemian out there, will fix it or create something to fix it!  

We must the steemit community, deep, strong and filled with love; a haven; a home!

 

Steemit Has Lots Of Drama?

There may have been talks of drama on steemit, the downvotes, disagreements, people leaving etc! 

Then "sift the bad, to find good in it" and you will notice, that the really beautiful drama on steemit, to constantly see; is in the truly loving, homely, heartfelt, enthusiastic sweetness; that it spills endlessly, in its every nook and cranny! 


A core facet of steemit growth is the conviction of its base community and today we will try to tackle this, within this post and strengthen our community while answering every newbie's steemit-related questions and create one gem of a post that we can share all over the internet, to help us in accomplishing steemit growth on the outside.

Steemit growth starts from the inside; YOU & ME!

The truth is: if your conviction about steemit and its community is at an all-time high, you will be drastically more effective at bringing friends, family and new ones to steemit. I tell you, your vibe will be just plain different.

If you fully understand steemit, as also a means to empower humans and create best versions of society; presenting steemit to everyone you meet becomes a notch easier!

So let's use this post, to fix our conviction, then let's share and share and create more awareness to steemit by means of our own vibe (steemit effect) and create steemit growth.

Let's bring our own communities on steemit and build together and take our portion of steem to the moon.

A top question from the most recent @redfishpillar post and my answer:

@bollutech:
This is a great project that enables newbies like i to know more about steemit,well my questions goes thus

  1. How can i get more followers that upvotes my posts
  2. how does earning on steemit works
  3. What are the advantages of being a member on steemit
  4. How wont i spend much on subscription before earning my reward.

@redfishpillar:
Welcome to AMAWED, @bollutech! Thank you for your questions. I like the way @surpassinggoogle responded to your questions. To add to all what he has stated, my response to question 1 would be to sincerely willing to help others who are in need of assistance. Find people in your niche, read their posts and leave valuable comments there. There are lots of advantages of being on steemit. Let me paraphrase what @surpassinggoogle stated. You had a vision and a life before steemit, bring your vision and life unto the steemit blockchain and sell it to as many who believe in your vision. They'll help you run with it . A little caveat, though would be for you to first work on building a good reputation here. That takes a while. So, don't hurry. Personally, it has taken me (@maryfavour) about 6 months to build my reputation to about 60. My response to question 3, if I understood it well, is that you would't need to spend much on subscription . Maybe you mean data subscription. Well, there is nothing good that doesn't come with sacrifice.

@surpassinggoogle:
It is free. Don't pursue it. Draw it in. Shake steemit, influence it with you, you vision, your presence, your substance, the spanlessness of your mind. It is like real life. If you are girl, catwalk that walk and halt the room, cos you walked in and your presence filled it. So pace thing, mine with your mind, grow in your substance and shine. financial earning will meet you half way. If you had a vision before steemit, play it out on the blockchain! you have mirrors in the form of reputable great minds, feed off of their feedback and keep building that dream or keep your dreams alive in dream-bits and rehearse them till fruition. This is life!
Tap in to this too. #steemgigs or #steemgig. Hone your expertise, while playing a role in potential history by helping other steemians bring their dreams into fruition. make connections, build the impossible, innovate. You didn't have an enabling environment? Now you have one in steem. I just gave you one million. Read between the lines. Apply foresight and you will see these things. There is no competition if your vision is staunch cos you will be above the competition.

@surpassinggoogle, you are indeed a leader, you are too much........ I'm speechless right now...... But you are promoting this community the way no one is doing........ In fact you are a worthy Leader...... You are a blessing to steemit community 👍 sir

Leader and I follow

Hahaha, thank you! Please share, i want to answer questions in a way, that will help you tap into the "vision aspect"

I'll be glad if you can explain this line for me tonight. "Visions within a dream"

Yes, these posts are simple eye openers. With these knowledge, you will see steemit in new light. Were you stand out from every other man, is in the weight of your dreams and visions. Even Africa, girls can spot this in a man, sharply. Even without money, wrecked clothes, they will stick to this kind of man, even when Ferrari riders whistle at them every minute. i can tell you this from experience

Thanks for this responses sir

Let time fly but don't let it emptily fly by., without you evolving in your substance. Life is way more than rice and kpomo

i agree with you...that's why i follow his works here..

"Visions within a dream"

I bet, I'm gonna understand this more and right something unique about it by next week

@surpassinggoogle You are indeed a great role model , since you encouraged and taught me how to move ahead on steemit on AMAWED @redfishpillar project which has been on my mind.
Your words on AMAWED @redfishpillar really inspired me and makes my thinking goes positively 'I will make it to be a whale' .

@harbysco @honourmaus thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to be a participant of this learning rewarding initiative ....... I will forever be greatful

Hahaha, you are a whale to me. Remember that. It all starts there!

Bro, you're already a whale from day one you hope to be one, the only task left for you is to build your whale

You are welcome @bollutech. @surpassinggoogle is a leader we are all aspiring to be. The #LAUTECHSTEEMITCOMMUNITY is just a miniscule to what leader @surpassinggoogle has been doing and currently doing for the Steemit community. I hope you see him befitting as your witness.

Hey Terry!

I'm not sure if I am too late to get questions in, there are so many. My question isn't about Steem the platform, but about your vision for it.

As a advocate in the Philippines getting Steem running like mad through that community, what is your larger vision? Are there other countries you personally would like to get to and make a difference?

I know your health may prohibit heavy travel, but I'm sure there are many many places that need a dose of @surpassinggoogle.

Okay, I will ask one Steem Related question.

I've noticed that people are trying to use "bribes" to get users like yourself to check out (and upvote) their posts. Sending small SBD transfers with a note along with it to the user in hopes they will get a return of as much or more when that person looks at the post. I see similar transactions in your wallet although I do not have the time at the moment to see if you are reacting to those or not. I just wanted to know your general thought on this kind of promotion. Does it really work to draw people to look at your content? Or is it better to stick to the relationship building side by conversing in comments?

All the best sir! Be well!

Hi everyone, im new here, please excuse my post if i may do wrong. I was invited by @surpassinggoogle to visit his profile if i needed some question. To be honest with you, i will not belive this if i haven't seen this. i was shocked what i have read here in this article, i never knew somebody in my own country to be so determined and passionate in looking forward in the future of steemit. I also felt that steemit has future, it will surpass everything i think because everything is for the user. A friend of mine introduced me to steemit, i was not so good in english but the eagerness to somehow post a blog and communicate is helping me to practice my gramar and its very helpful. At first i was so eager to start but after a while, with less votes and less seen on my posts, i was a little bit frustrated. As a newbee, i havent seen the long run yet, that's why if I look at the long run, and there maybe more bigger frustrations, how can i survive? I was so lucky i had a friend @kennyroy who is so helpful answering every questions i ask, he helped me move forward. I seen your profile that you started august 2016, how did you start and how you succeed? Thanks and God bless

This great article @smokinglems. Proud to be Pinoy

Just by reading the comments we are learning, everything are so valuable, thanks also terry 😊👍

A beautiful comment and this " i never new somebody in my own country to be so determined and passionate in looking forward in the future of steemit" is true and is a reason for this post.

The simple truth is, give it time, read my posts deeply and look for the underlying life lessons in it. Steemit is more about life and humans and understanding it and you are already successful just by being here. These are the best times on steemit. The past on steemit will help you realized this. In the past the price of steem was a low as 7 or 15 cents. It was too hard to earn but that base of steemians still remained to hold steemit up strong. If you read this post, you will understand better:

https://steemit.com/steemit/@surpassinggoogle/how-to-become-hotcake-on-steemit-using-just-your-steemit-posts-and-valuable-tips-for-philippines-based-content-creators

then read this one:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@surpassinggoogle/rewardpoolrape-is-an-illusionary-word-nothing-like-that-existed-on-steemit-why-the-trending-steemit-posts-are-really-trending

You will learn so much from those two posts. I also pulled up old posts of mind in the first post, so you can see the earning but does it matter if you don't earn on steemit?

The easy answer is no becos learning is earning, personal growth is earning, practicing grammar is earning, good behavior is earning, friends from around the world, is earning, opportunities is earning. It wont be obvious now but it will be in the near future and ofcourse, you need mirrors, someone to tell you of your progress and with this amazing comment, reading a grasping my post and asking a thought-provoking question with "God (Jehovah) bless at the end, i can tell you for sure, that you have earned. I won't need to check you wallet to be sure of that. You are not the same person that you were before steemit because you have evolved. So about posts, being hit or miss, does it matter? Well, here is how i put it: hit or miss; as long as you evolve, it will always be a hit. As you evolve, quality sets in, even in your post, in physical real life, you decision-making is better, your foresight is better. You may never have know of crypto before steemit, now you do. For the steem, keep gathering it, there is no loss there. It may just be 10 dollars tomorrow. Presence of steemit is essential because opportunity can arise any where, any day or time and it can be a gem in the next post you read. You have the world on steemit too, so expand your horizon. Speak to be, share a piece of you, inspire.
If you have kids, the blockchain is permanent, write down legacies to leave it for them, to impact them in the future. They will shed tears of joy when they read it. These things are priceless!

You got me inspired. Oh wait, the name of the True God!

Hahaha the name of the True God is Jehovah. I will pause there! Stay inspired

Yeah. Ps 83:18. Have a blessed day. Will be out today.

Awesome. Let me read!

You sound like an old wise person, but as I see on your profile you're still young. Your words are filled with wisdom sir Terry and I'm learning a lot from you. I've read every words, and in them I'm learning and earning. Thank you cos I'm always inspired by them...and by the way, I hope and pray I would meet you in person someday in not so distant future.

I am really old really. My age is young though! There is a story and that makes me old. I am glad you got some inspiration. The word need loads of it. Stay inspired. Meeting in person is very possible

Wow i was so overwhelmed again with your thoughts and thinking. Thanks for the inspiring advice making me realize, yes we have lots of things to gain here to be frustrated and to stop, practically everybody wants to earn, honestly, was convinced because i will earn money doing what i like to do, anyway in facebook we are not earning anything but we keep on posting, here there is possibility to earn and learn, actually i wasn't that interested in conversation especially in english which is not our native language, but steemit made it for me. I am learning to socialize, to be good to others and to learn to appreciate, learn to give, gather friends, so much to earn which i never have imagined. We are all in different shapes and sizes, but they are right, i see you as a good leader in your level of thinking, able to change people and myself for the better, but staying humble, that's the best, i admire that, hoping to reach not exactly the same but to atleast catch up. I thank you for following me during my first day in steemit and your continous support. Hoping you will still stay in supporting and guiding us on our journey here in steemit. Thank you very much brother 😊

You are welcome. Earning takes different forms. You will certainly earn

Wow @surpassinggoogle. You are really surpassing google. I like that you have taken Steemit as your own. With people like you on this platform this community of mining with our dear minds will last forever. You have given me a better understanding of this platform and now i know i'm actually giving with my upvotes of which i will continue to do even though its nothing now but i know with time it will get better.

I only have one question

  • how can i be like you?

Bro, I read a post of @surpassinggoogle recently I think this is gonna help You and I, HOW TO BE COME HOTCAKE ON STEEMIT

Hahaha, "to be like me, you will have to be stubbornly "YOU". @surpassinggoogle. I spoke to honoramaus alot. He can share some DMs. But the post he recommended as well. i have all you guys in mind, no doubt but i really, dont have 5 mins space a day. So posts help!

I understand your busy schedule sir. I will contact @honourmaus to get some of your motivational talks. I love your kind of person.

Hahaha yes. I am a boy like you, so no reservations with me. Exercise all freedom.

Alright sir.

This is very great. You are such a great leader and you work speaks volume. reading through @redfishpillar's post today, i knew i missed a great time to be 'involved' in the questions and answer segment.lolz

my campaign of steemit has always been facial and i am really faced with some hardcore questions which i tried to answer few in my series why steemit?

What we need to do is to understand that steemit is a community and a community can unite as one to face the forces outside. As the statement goes that a tree cannot make a forest, it applies here too. many people get discouraged after staying in steemit for maybe a month or two and with all they have tried they hardly get a 1cent payout weekly. first, we need to see what we can do it this regards. how will newbies be motivated to stay?

Big ups to the great guys who are making steemit enjoyable for us; i must confess that i am privileged. We must translate steemit beyond the online platfom and let as many as we are inviting to steemit see the evidence of what we are saying, first from us. remember, steemit is not a pyramid-multilevel payment plan where rewards flow downwards, so the next question is this. if a steemain wrote a nice post that doesnt get seen and encouraged, what gets him motivated then?

i introduces someone to steemit almost immediately i entered in June and about a month after, she told me that she was opting out. she said that the circle-system will not allow the community grow and that she was better not wasting her time writing articles that wont get the rewards i told her that steemit can bring. how do you bridge the gap in the mindset of someone who wants reward to feel motivated and not feel-motivated to want reward?

this is part one of my thought! lolz.

We will start small in answering. Let's make this a very shareable post. As for motivation, open ways for her to have one chat session with me.

Add this post to the dose: https://steemit.com/steemit/@surpassinggoogle/how-to-become-hotcake-on-steemit-using-just-your-steemit-posts-and-valuable-tips-for-philippines-based-content-creators

There is also the steem blockchain and note that many successful steemians are not blogging, so there is a ton of other things to do.

She has a biz, let's make it happen, let's infuse steemit into it.
She has a venture model and she is not sure they will work, let her bring them here and play them out
She wants to create the world and she doesn't know how to but she has the innovation concept, @steemgigs has all the talent and expertise.

There are some things i say only in the DMs but this is not a lie, many of the people i have tutored with this love inside, have gone on to succeed more than me, steemit and beyond. I have not been able to fix myself though but this is real talk. Everything simply has to do with the substance of the human.

What if i don't get paid, but i have this awesome community, will i write?
Steemit ranks well in search engines, then i reshape the internet. In reality, i would pay to use "steemit".
Really, what's money compared to real legacies, touch generations yet unborn. It is not about the moolah, it is more about the spender. I will pause. DM soon

You are indeed a leader. i will DM you. i just have to reserve my comment. you are a leader. you truly, are a leader! Thanks for all you do through steemit.

i will connect with her and let her chat with you. she needs to mind-set ignition from you.

thanks

Hahaha exactly; she does!

Wow wow this is really a wonderful article.
The internet rarely produces such great content like you have written here.

Indeed Steemit is a community of lovers who strengthen and build each other up.

There are many ways people here are very lovable.People upvote and leave meaningful comments.

I remember when i just joined in June,i saw how the community was contributing/raising money for a fellow Steemian who was going to undergo surgery.

This was the best thing i have seen happening on the internet.

I love the love being manifested here on Steemit,i thank you @surpassinggoogle and @maryfavour for answering my question and the questions of others on the Ask Me Anything Wednesday.

Thanks for showing us love.

Awesome. The internet needs steemit. I know the "internet world" that existed before steemit. I am from it and steemit is indeed a haven.

I follow and support you sir @surpassinggoogle 😊. Im happy about it as you inspired us 😊. Resteemed.

Can you do a breakdown of curation rewards. How do they work and when is it best to upvote?

Hahaha, great question. Yes, there are rules to maximise getting curation rewards, but for me as a curator, i don't let timing deter me. i vote based on many factors and many times sift even the not-so-good for the good in it. Basically, curation is a talent too. Some people are good at it, some people study it, so it is subjective depending on the needs of the curator. timing parameters were put in place to many bot votes which are more perfectly timed than humans. for. Some people also target upvoting valuable comments too. Alot too has to do with amount of steempower and percentages. The best person to explain the timing aspect of it will be @timcliff

Thanks for one more opportunity to ask you a question @surpassinggoogle, tell me, if I have, for example, a lot of SP , this gives an advantage when starting messages on Steemit ?

I also want to know the same thing.

I left the answer just below

Do you mean on "steemit.chat"? Well, investing in steempower is always a plus cos like i said there is always a "human factor", so sometims, thing revolve around high steempower. With high steem power, there is a lot you can do, even without posting. Curation gives higher rewards, even when you never posts. Some whales only curate and never post. Plus, many people may copy your votes, using voting parameters on steemvoter, making you vote more powerful

Thanks for the answer, tell me how you can be contacted in the chat room?

Underneath my post has the url for discord. On both discord and steemit.chat, i have the same username

I have same username of discord and steemit.chat

This post was very informative thank you for sharing
you have my upvote
Keep smiling, reading, writing and voting!!!
