"A social media platform that rewards its users and creators with cryptocurrency?! Sign me up!" ..... that's what I said a month ago when I first got exposed to this radical new vision of technology, commerce and community.
Now I am trying to share the Steemit message with my network and dive deeper into the details of the ways it operates and the reasons it is as revolutionary as it is.
I decided to host a webinar to share on fb, IG, linked and twitter about some of the ins and outs of this platform. I was joined for this webinar by veteran user, Anne-Marie Davies - @choogirl - who answered a bunch of my questions (and the questions of my followers).
Feel free to share this youtube link on other socials to accelerate the education!

@benleemusic
Great interview guys! And look at you go all #promo-steem. Good on ya @benleemusic!
Side note.. You werk it @choogirl!
Lol, thanks Arly. I was looking for the good light/not terrible light for about 10 mins beforehand. And I'm not sure why I look naked. I am actually wearing a top.
ohh please like you needed the lighting. Great job girl!
Its fun to share what inspires you!
It totally is, so great to see you coming to love Steemit.
I found this yesterday and thought of you Ben.

Maybe something you can do? I'll happily hit Listen to your tracks :)
ye she does! Anne Marrie.....
Awesome interview! Resteemed
Thank you!
Thank you!
@choogirl your voice is normal and you talk like a champ! Great interview @benleemusic and great post. Resteemed by @MrSquiggle too.
SO many people have that reaction to hearing their voice recorded. I think the resonance of the sound of our voices inside or skull distorts our perspective. But you sound great!
ohhh that explains why I think I'm an awesome singer until I hear myself 😜
I think it's cos how you think you sound is different to how you actually sound, which is usually worse.
Woo! Aussies 💗 Mr Squiggle
You sound just fine and I can tell you're wearing a top. Great video.
Good to hear. Thank you!
Great interview.. we love @choogirl in #teamaustralia. She really is a world of help to so many newbies and even us not so newbies anymore!
Also stoked to see some of the people who are joining Steem now - I've been a bit of a fan since I heard a recording you did of a song one of my friends wrote for his girlfriend for her birthday many many years ago :) (Okay sorry..fangirl moment over now :) )
Cheers - keep up the good work!
resteemed
Lol, you should talk to him in real life so you can have a proper fangirl moment. Like I was. On the inside. 😁
Nice to connect with you!
Steemit took me a little while to get into but it's so much easier when you follow authors that you're more interested in and join small communities. It's a good time to join, while the website is still relatively small! :)
Joining the communities that you're interested in definitely helps.
Yes its funny with a relatively small user # it can still be an overwhelming amount of content if we arent specific about our interests.
Beautiful interview between the two of you, loved how you really went over a lot of the questions new Steemians might have!
It was especially great for me watching one of my favorite Steemians and curator of Steemitworldmap, @choogirl going at it with you as an amazing new Steemian who already pinned a post to the map!
Hope you'll be doing more of these videos as they are great!
Aw, thanks Martibis.
If people find this content useful, and it draws some more curious people in, happy to do more.
Nice work @choogirl unfortunately the mystery of your nickname has been shattered and I now know you real name. However as already stated this is awesome
Lol. Sorry. And yes, now you can fully stalk me online. I'll get you started. I'm not the one that is in Brookside (is that even still going?) or the pole dancer. But they do both seem quite interesting. Maybe I should friend them on FB.
Brookside stopped a long time ago I hate to break it to you
I only watched it until I got Sky. Then it was gone. Those accents are too much anyway.
I thought breaking anonymity was a heroic move in this context!
Indeed it is !!
Good one guys!
Thank you!
great work @benlee and @choogirl. I popped this up on my facebook as this will help HEAPS of my friends.
Thanks Gohba. I'm getting a good response on FB so far too. Hopefully some of my real life friends will join.
Awesome. Feel free to use the FB embedded one too if that helps - FB tends to favor those over youtube links https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.m.lee.1/videos/10155846310535708/
This is great--I'm going to share it on Facebook. Really nice to "see" choogirl--she's been a huge support to me too!
Thanks Steph. Your content is amazing--you're easy to support.
Thanks, you're awesome!
So cool!
Great interview Ben, and it's good to hear a few more aussie accents on the platform. Keep up the great Promo-Steem work :-)
More Aussies on steemit can only be a good thing. And yes, Ben is doing an awesome job.
Psyched to see where we can take this!
Great vid! I'll be showing this to the wife so I don't have to struggle to explain where crypto and its value comes from. "It just does" doesn't really cut it for her. Cheers @benleemusic and @choogirl for this insightful conversation!
Cheers!
Thanks Token. I thought about this afterwards and came up with something much better. The joys of hindsight.
Great video. It’s helped me to understand a bit more about how steemit works. Thank you! I will be sharing.
Thanks so much - its fun right?
Hey Choo, it's lovely to see you in real life, after a while the discord character icon becomes the person. So it's nice to see the real face behind the persona.
Secondly, you're amazing. Thank you for helping everyone on TA. Team Australia wouldn't be even half of what it is without you. You and Ausbitbank and all the various mods (and all the MSP folks behind the PAL initiative TeemSteem, Aggroed, Discordiant etc.) have made it probably the best chat room and group on the internet. I would have probably quite out of it a while back if it wasn't for you and the TA team.
So you rock! You should be really proud of what you've done in this space. You're changing the world for the better with every new recruit you bring on - so thanks for taking so much time and care over everyone's profiles, it's hugely appreciated.
So awesome! Im shocked to learn @choogirl's real name is Anne Marrie! Wow
But seriously, this was an awesome post guys! Well done!
Dude, you spelt it wrong. It's Anne-Marie. Plus this has been inked on the block before. Only my last name was unknown until now.
Sorry, I didnt even read the text. I just heard him say it on the Video. So much for anonominity now.
Lol. It's all good. Anne-Maries are very particular about the spelling of their names though. It's a something I've noticed from the other ones I've met (which aren't that many). There's the combination of Anne or Ann and Maree or Marie and we've all been called MaryAnne numerous times, which we hate.
Nice Interview, nice to have a face to @choogirl. Very good description. Hope to see a lot of new nice people soon.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome interiview Ben! And well done @choogirl! You interview well. :)
I love your comment that the information you've read on Steemit has opened your mind, Choo.
I felt exactly the same thing when joining this platform. I found myself reading things every day that I would never have read before.
Love your work guys/ gals!
I read 2 unrelated posts last week about living in a yurt. Before that, I didn't even know what a yurt was.
Thanks Ben. This was fun to do and I think it turned out well. Still hate the sound of my own voice though.
Youre a natural!
Good interview to watch! Very interesting analyse... one of the reason I think steemit will be a sucess is that it is much easyer to donate to someone when you dont loose it!!! AND NO PUBLICITY too, because when you watch something on youtube, shure, you are indeed donating to the creator and not loosing money but you are payng that with your brain-time during the advertising!
And the part of rewarding positivity ... I agree 100% ... I've been here just 3 month and only goog human interactions.
All the best to both of you
Thanks for watching and for creating from a positive space!
This might be the best thing I've seen in this platform yet!!! I've been trying to learn as much as I can on this platform, and this really helped fill in the gaps... this should be a must-see for all new Aussie Steemazoids.
@choogirl you interview so well, I love how conversational and warm this was... @benleemusic your natural inquisitiveness makes for a great video. I'm so glad you're here and so super excited you're enjoying this platform that we all love so much.
Really hope this brings in some new Aussies!
Thanks Ninja. I like how it was conversational as well. I guess all those lectures and conference presentations I've had to give in the past paid off.
It feels like a bit of a magical moment!
Awesome to put a face to a name @choogirl. 🙂 Nice piece @benleemusic. Keep up the good work!
Oh cool, thanks for watching @oen!
Thank you so much!
Awesome!
Nice to see you again @choogirl, with voice this time, and movements even 😉
Great video, you too!
Just like a real girl!
Thanks for this :-) Just finished watching. Heaps of good info for a newbie like me. Thanks for taking the time.
Cool. I'm glad it helped.
Good informative video for my first day on Steemit. Thankyou Ben
Welcome to steemit!
Have a great adventure!
choo! Now everyone knows you are brilliant, beautiful, AND your name is royalty!
@benleemusic, thanks for having our beloved celebrity on your youtube channel. She pretends not to be a big deal, but as you can see. She is!
Aw Kubby. You're so awesome. I can't wait for our girls' week!
What a great post! For a minnow like me this is really valuable information. I'm truly excited to hear about how blockchain and cryptocurrency work! Could this be the beginning of a more just non debt-based economy? I'm beyond thrilled to hear about this! Thank you both so much!
PS Just resteemed it. My second post on this platform 😊
Awesome! Cool to be able to help.
What a great video @benleemusic
Thanks so much
Thank you for the video guys, super helpful for everyone starting off!
Happy to be of service!
Good job guys. You are getting the word out there which is great to see!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Always great to hear different perspectives about cryptos and Steem. Looking to wrap my head around cryptocurrencies and the magic of the blockchain!
Its a lot of fun!
Fantastic interview/webinar @choo and @benleemusic! The more folks we reach the more join our community... Fantastic work guys!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the post @choogirl and @benleemusic. Kinda got a bit more of an idea of what I'm doing now, although I'll probably have to watch it a few more time before the penny drops completely (I'm a bit slow on these things)
Me too! Its an ongoing education. But fascinating.
Bit by bit, Day by day we get better. The more you play on the platform the easier it get with good info.
True.
Thx, for the awesome info.
Youre welcome.
Yep i am there where you were 1 month ago.
Not bad since where i was a few weeks ago :-)
You got my follow. Please check my thoughts on a crypto currency economy.
@weddingdresses
Insightful.
Thank you
It’s kind of like learning how to play Monopoly. No risk till your in the game ☺️
;)
😊
such a great interview, thanks guys!
