Wow! That moment when I noticed my "followers" number was 1,007...
Selfie by @mininthecity taken with Samsung S7 mobile phone.
I was surprised to see my followers count at 1,007 and a wave of gratitude swept over me. It had been a couple months since I participated on Steemit. I'm un(der)employed and doing gig work to earn money. I took a break from Steemit because my time spent on the platform has not been profitable and my goal to pay off debt feels urgent. When I finally logged back in I did a "double-take" at my followers count. It was growing while I was living my offline life... Ok, that's my story. Now, let's get on to the fun!
Surpassing 1,000 feels significant and I want to recognize the milestone by interacting with my followers and sharing SBD. My wallet currently has 6.296 SBD. It's not a lot, yet it's enough to give a gift of gratitude. I'll promise at least 3 SBD to the winning participant in this contest; more may be added from the post's earnings.
ENTER TO WIN by completing three actions:
- Check that you are following @mininthecity
- Resteem and Upvote this post (before the post payout).
- Comment with one word describing yourself (an adjective that no one else has posted yet).
I'll assign each entry a number and randomly select a winning number after the post payout.
When I reached 300 followers I hosted my first contest, asking each Steemian to share one word. We had a lot of fun and learned about each other. To view examples, check out the comments in that contest: https://steemit.com/contest/@mininthecity/win-sbd-thank-you-contest-for-new-and-existing-followers
Now choose one word that describes you and post a comment!
I'll get it started with my word...
"quirky"
Each comment, follow, and vote is appreciated!

How many of your followers are dead, inactive or a bot?
Intriguing question. I have no idea. If Steemit was my money-making occupation, I would take time to look into it. However, I'm choosing to focus more of my time on income-producing work (off of this site) to pay my bills. It would be great to have a service to remove bots and inactive followers. When I was new I knew nothing about blockchains or bots or building a following on social media platforms. I still have a LOT to learn. If you want to determine how many of my followers are dead, inactive, or a bot, I would love to know! Thanks for your inquiry.
How many ghosts so you think?
And how many dead?
If you guess one of these two correct (less than 25 from the actual number) you win 0.25 SBD
I don't know precisely what the terms "ghosts" and "dead" mean regarding Steemit profiles. Are you really going to look through my follower accounts and determine the "correct" number of ghost or dead accounts? That sounds time-consuming... I don't need an SBD prize, yet I'm curious. If you figure it out let me know. And if you want a guess I'll say 125.
Dead means inactive for over a month.
Ghosts are followers that did not engage with you in your last 100 posts.
You can try to guess again. It's much higher.
Sorry
That's my one word.
Won't participate in your contest.
