I happen to be a lucky one that has had a few posts go viral and I have also had a few posts that did not get picked up. Publishing my writing, pictures, and videos on Steemit has humbled me. It's a vulnerable state. Why am I so willing to put myself out there on a new site? It's the community of positive, inspiring people! YOU!
Welcome to the world through Steemit. It's not about the money for me, of course upvotes are always welcome, there's just so much more than that going on here. I am excited to meet really amazing people, doing really inspiring things, and being the ones who elevate the world to greatness one post at a time. I want to read posts that are user friendly, uplifting, and to the point. What I don't want is to read people talking about nothing or complaining about everything. I mean, isn't that what Facebook is for?
So I ask, are you contributing or are you consuming? Are you a parasite trying to be the first to make your millions in this gold rush or are you a thoughtful human seeking ways to be of service with your new wealth?
@derekareith and I) are committed to:With our steem dollars we have purchased some equipment to elevate our vlog game. Our goal is to produce better quality videos to share information, perspective, and knowledge. They may go viral, they may be a flop, but more importantly, we are hoping to meet those in the community that are of like-mind, people in our "tribe".
Perhaps we go to 
Namaste,
Jessica
