I feel a small amount of pride when I see that in just 10 short days my 2 proteges have not only firmly established themselves on Steemit, but they have also both seen incredible rewards for their work.
@jockey has been on the platform for under a week and already has a pending payout of $389 for his awesome article:
My Participation In Corruption Of The Medical Industry!
And I happen to know that he is working on a bunch of really exciting new subjects for us.
In addition to this he is helping me with the development of @steemshop for which I am most grateful!
@robintherunner has a pending payout of $165 for his article:
Last Day Of College - Bitter Sweet
Robin is a teenager yet his life experiences clearly still have value on this platform.
And I look forward to learning more about his vegan diet and iron man training.
What is a protege?
A protege is a person who is guided and supported by an older and more experienced or influential person.
And my two friends have become perfect examples of proteges.
They have taken in the huge amount of information I have given them over the last 10 days and I am really impressed by the way in which they have already found their niche and without any further help from myself are now flying firmly on their way to Steemit stardom!
Naturally I assisted them as much as I could with guidance, 100% upvotes and resteeming to my 1000 followers.
But they did the hard work.
And in the end it will be them who are helping me because as their power increases, so too will the value of their consistent upvotes for my work.
If you do happen to adopt a protege you may want to show them this film I recorded a few days ago. It documents me walking through the basics of Steemit with my next group of proteges ;)
Blessings to you all.
