Right Now is a Great Time to be a Minnow

It's that time for another video, friend! Thank you for joining me as we discuss what a great time it is to be a minnow in the Steem ecosystem.

Minnows are Steemians who are just starting out on their Steem journey, and sometimes they can be thought of as unimportant. I want to crush that thought today and replace it with new ones.

Being a minnow is new, it's fresh, it's exciting. You are getting started in something amazing and you might not even realize it yet. The Steem blockchain and community has only been around for about 2 years and the future looks extremely bright.

Blockchain technology is still in its infancy. You are getting started on the ground floor of one of the biggest shifts in history in terms of social media and wealth transference.

Right now is a great time to be a minnow because you are in the learning stages. You are working on figuring things out such as how to format text or how to come up with a content schedule. Each day brings something new that can be learned like increasing engagement, upvotes, and followers.

Being a minnow is a time of rich self-discovery. We get to learn more about ourselves and discover who we really are. We get to discover the type of content that we love to post and are passionate about.

Publishing content that we enjoy is part of the fun of this experience. Meeting new people who share in our likes and interests can result in life-long friendships of mutually exchanged time and value.

The ability to create is an adventure all on it's own. The creative process can unlock the greatness inside of you. Be yourself in your posts and show the world the true you. The great thing about Steem is that you will be rewarded for doing so.

Let me know if you are a minnow below. I want to support you and encourage you along your Steem journey. Because let's face it, everyone experiences down times where negative emotions can tend to flair up.

We need one another to build each other up. Obviously, we will not stay minnows forever. The goal is of course to grow and mature over time, and eventually become a dolphin, then an orca, then a whale.

I want you to celebrate the fact that you are currently a minnow. Jump up and down and celebrate your minnow-ness. Everyone in the Steem ecosystem has a specific job to do. Even plankton, brand new accounts, have their place.

I love you, I care about you, and I appreciate you. Can't wait to see you in the next vlog.

Until next time, remember...You Are Awesome!

Take care my friend.
