Thanks for such a useful post full of great information. I too feel like a whale on the inside and hopefully sometimes that will come out in a brighter light than in does now. But for now I am really happy with how things are going.Since I first got here 4 months ago I started badly with some shitposts because I didn't really grasp the concept behind steemit and how it really works. After some time I got the hang of it and decided to give a big piece of myself to steemit.
Steemit's community is like no other I came across on the internet. May it be fb, insta, reddit, 4chan or whatever.Where the community is filled with hate speech, trolls and bullying.
People here are really passionate, loving, giving, humbling, creative and really and truly want to help you and the whole platform to succeed.
When I realized that I asked myself what can I do to give something back and create value for the community.
I came up with @steemcreations
A project to ensure FREE digital artwork/photography and even services For steemians by steemians
It's just in it's beginning phase but a lot of users have already contributed some cool artwork and shared it for free with the community. To use for whatever purpose they like.
And that is awesome. I hope more people will join the project and create something special for the community.
I promote and give away digital artwork whenever I can on my main accoutn to bring more eyeballs on the project.
Things are moving slowly but they are moving and I'm really happy to see that.
Wow... Sorry for such a long rant. Anyway, thanks for the info, you really helped me with how to get free artwork that can be reused and modified. That is perfect for me as I do a lot in photoshop and adobe illustrator.
Have a great day sir.
Cheers!
No rant here. You are on the right track. Right mindset. Evident evolution and you are looking at the bigger picture and at steem itself as well, where beauty lies. Just keep pushing till its ripe, then you can look into your own interface. On steemit community is very very very key, so push and pace things till is ripe. In reality, with a great vision that's unshaken, whales will contact you. You can also be partner and apprentice even, but even at those times people with vision, will know of your vision regardless and everything will be 50/50. Ofcourse, we can go seek help, by why not go 50/50 like you said with strong evidence of the value you offer and let a whale be looking to gain too. Too, community is coming up later in the year and your name space will count and when #smt happens, even bigger things. Stay awesome!
I'm looking at steemit as a retirement fund of some sort (and I'm 22). I can see steemit going places in a couple of years but until then I'm hoarding as much sp as I can get my hand on as a student with limited budget on my hand.
It still seems like it is hard to connect with people on steemit. Because I am not the kind to ask for help or favours or anything else for that matter. But good things will come I'm sure.
Just have to be patient and persistent. And that's what I am :)
Hopefully college will leave me with enough time to contribute to steemit more than now because currently it isn't letting me :/
Anyway, thanks for the kind words and encouragement I'll do my best to make something great.
You will do great things. You mindset is perfect. I hardly ask help too. Connection is possible. I am always here and in the chats. Alot goes on there
glad you think so (:
won't bother you in chats but would love your entry for my little promo contest for @steemcreations I did on my main blog check it out here here and enter if you want to show some support.
