Hi,
I heard someone already asking, "disciples!?"
Oh yeah! Disciples although not as those of Jesus Christ of course. I joined this platform with a bit of skepticism because I had tried several money making systems online and reached miserable failures....
But then when I signed up I roamed the steemit community and realized there was something different about the way it felt. Firstly I was informed it took averagely about 24 hrs for account registration to be approved but mine took like some few hours. Even @kshemen was surprised how fast I had been approved. At that point, I knew it was my time and I was making the right move. After my first week of steeming I couldn't shut up about this....I needed to share with people what I had discovered and I succeeded in getting @hajia4real to join. That was my disciple number 1.
I continued Steeming and telling people.....In my 3rd week, I joined a #promo-steem contest by promoting Steemit to my friends and followers on Facebook. I received lots of questions about the platform from skeptical readers. I gave out what I knew and the instructions to join... but I don't know if anyone has joined through that promo yet.... then I got @madrid-man on board...and he became my disciple number 2
I realized that I was slow partly because I was back in my village and there was very little I could do from there because many folks don't even have smart phones and even if they did they have no access to internet connection which makes utilizing online opportunities very difficult for them.....
I decided to author an article on my website about cryptocurrency and how it was changing the world. I mentioned Steemit among the ways to earn bitcoin and I explained how in the article. The article is still out there getting more and more views by the day and through the article I had my next 3 disciples joining up...first it was @fariedfab who asked lots of questions just to make sense of why you would get reward by blogging....then came @jawaddandawa and @common24 making up my first 5 disciples on steemit..
A few others have since joined through me and a couple still waiting for approval but that is how far I've come in my first 41 days of joining on 5th December.....working from a village has not been easy because of network frustrations but the work has to be done.....
I am like Floki of Vikings, I can't enjoy this heaven alone.....
It hurts me that I cannot directly help my disciples up because my voting power is still next to nothing but I have made the pledge to up my game by continuously powering up. I begun this journey yesterday by powering up from 30 to 60 Steem Power.....
Soon I would be able to do more and give more back to the community.....helping has always been my passion and this is what got me into medicine....now I'm here and I have to bring my life along....I have launched Operation reach 2000 STEEM POWER in 3 months... I don't yet know how I will do it but I know I would... I will keep creating and connecting with the community and when the right moment comes I will make use of it to get there.....I hate giving less..and this is my pledge so help me God!.....
