When I first started I was a greedy bastard and was only after the cash. Looking back at it I can't believe how I changed. So many great users and comments had such a good impact on me. I stopped drinking. I lost some weight. I started being more productive and I started helping out more. I like giving back to the community and it is always fun to make a payment to someone because they won something.
The BIG 500! So great to have so many great followers! I can only say thanks to you guys! My motivation and writing is purely from your feedback and kind words! Steemit has been really great and supportive. I am loving the platform more and more everyday. I Like helping out and giving everyone the right info and tools they need to strive and be successful here.
Thanks you for just over a month on Steemit. Thanks for over 500 followers. Just reached over 500 Steem Power and finally got my vote slide bar. Feel like a DJ using it to hand out upvotes.
Normally 50% of this post will go to my followers. Not this time! This time I am giving back 99% to my followers. 1% is all mine, mwhuahahahhaa! (evil laugh).
9 lucky winners will win 11% of this post's payout! All you have to do is upvote and be a follower. Easy right?

Thank you for reading! Steem on Steemians!
boom. followed. make it so
Cool, thanks mate!
Now that you mention it I have been in a much better mood and all around better person.
My productivity has definitely been elevated since I started on STeemit.
Have a great DAY!!
Thanks appreciate it! Steemit has changed so many users. Truly is amazing! Enjoy your time here =)
Visiting this post was like going to a Fiesta celebration in the Philippines. :)
Steem giveaway, great resources, and a great post all the way.
Resteeming this to 9100+ followers.
That explains all the pings coming from my phone! These comments are streaming in so fast I can't keep up! Thank you so much for the resteem! I love the Philippines. Went to El Nido and it was my best holiday ever. How is everything going there now?
Well, my part of the country is under martial law. Mindanao is considered a dangerous place, but where I live at the Northeastern corner is mostly peaceful. We do have the NPA here, and they clash with the Army now and then - some skirmishes, but no Abu Sayyaf here kidnapping people where I'm at...not yet anyway and hopefully never.
OMG that still sounds a bit crazy! Hope it all gets sorted out! Happy you are in a safe area. Take care of yourself and always be careful. Rooting for you, good luck =)
NICE!
@joanaltres thanks for your dedication in helping noobs and minnow here to grow faster and easier. Though i am yet to be one of your beneficial directly, however i have benefited a lot from loads of quality and amazing blogs resteemed by you daily. This one inclusive.
Thanks once again for giving out a helping hand
Most welcome dude! I try my best to help where I can. Steemit is so full of info it's hard to keep up. That is why I write mostly for my followers. Keep on steeming mate!
@scrooger, without you my journey would've been so much harder. Thanks so much. Dankie
You are most welcome! I wish I could help you more! Remember I am always just one mention away if you have questions! Plesier =)
So nice of you. How did you end up in South Korea all the way from SA ?
Got a job as a teacher here. Loving this country so much!
thank you again! For including me in BOTH!!
You are most welcome! Sorry for the late replies. Weekend here so wont be spending much time on steemit. Will reply when I can. Winners will be anounced tonight
I really enjoy your posts man! They are always helpful and add substance to the community. You deserve 500, and many more followers!
Those kind words hit the spot! Motivates me to write more! This coming week will see many new posts! Some guides and some personal posts. Stay in touch
Congrats on your first 500, they are very well deserved!
Thanks a lot appreciate it. Next goal is 750
What have you been eating??? Instant grow plant food!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations x 500!!
Hehe, something like that =P
Congralutions!!!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. First we come here, only with dollar signs in the eyes - then we see so much amazing people here and hey, we are in a new addiction! :) I just love the spirit in this community ღ
Addiction indeed! I love that people realise it's not just for making money. The interaction and people are worth so much more! Thanks!
Huge congratulations, my friend!! Your helpful actions and your positive spirit is the foundation of your future success on Steemit: you will prosper yourself and help others prosper too! I consider myself lucky to be a witness and a supporter (and a proud follower, too!) of your amazing journey here on Steemit! STEEM ON, my friend, STEEM ON!!
(also, try to catch up and beat me to 1,000 followers, haha! I’ll be doing ‘Feed Your Minnows’ thing on a weekly basis now, so you better keep up!) :-P
I really appreciate it coming from you! I like your attitude and we have the same mindset here. Keep it real and post to the best of our ability. Let's both grow and be more successful!
(keep up? Check again mate! Hehe, I am really loving this little back and forth to reach 1000 followers. Don't worry though I will help and support you all the way to reach 1000 after I win Keep it up we are both doing pretty good!) Thanks for all the support mate!
We should just begin exchanging our followers at this point, haha! Luckily, they don’t have to choose which one of us they would like to follow, because they can follow both! The old ‘follow for follow’ adage will get a new meaning then. ;) :D
And thank you for the offer of help – I’ll probably need it in any case, even after I will have reached my 1,000 followers. :)
I know right! Join forces and take over Steemit! Hahaha. We will always need help. We just keep learning and helping each other and we will be well on our way to more success!
When we reach 1000 we must do a collaboration give away or contest... Could be interesting. =)
I love the collaboration idea! Let’s do it! So, in about 3 to 5 days, according to my estimates, right? ;)
Hehe, I’d like to think that you suddenly got ahead in terms of your followship only because I resteemed your most post! :-P All my new followers love the giveaway contests of all sorts, it seems like. My minnows are hungry, please feed them well!
But the truth is: since we both hit 500 followers at about the same time and because I was feeling lazy, I just resteemed your post, instead of writing my own. It should do – you are a better writer than I am, anyway! ;)
Not at all mate! English is my 2nd language, hehe. Still it's not a competition for who is best. 3 or 5 days? I wish! I think about 1 or 2 weeks.
I wrote my 500 Follower post you started deeding the minnows. It's a great idea that can be used over and over. That's a lot better. Thanks for the resteem. Appreciate it. Hope it helps you with some followers too.
Let's start brainstorming the collaborate idea. Sure we can come up with something awesome!
On another note. Do you do a lot of curation? Have a stategy in place? I am working on a idea for it. Still need a lot of testing though.
Congrats!!!!!
Thanks!
Congrats. Keep steemin on. Wishing you all of the best.
I also just got my vote slider today, feels awesome to be able to hand out more votes.
I just need to refrain from voting too much the weekend to build up some vote power.
The problem is I am addicted to voting because too many good posts to not vote : )
Appreciate it! Love the new profile pic! Suits the name.
Thank you.
Yeah the other pic was actually a fat pimp with purple suit.
I just selected any pic I could find before, I was also stupid when I started out on Steem.
I like to think that I am getting better at this.
@scrooger There is one follower in your list who did not get a browser notification for this post because you did not start the name with an @... and he/she is following over 600 people so maybe he/she missed this post. @azracer2000 now got notified.... well, in case he/she has activated browser notifications. :D
Oh and... congratulations! :)
You are a champion! Thank you! Had to manually edit it. Not going to update it though or everyone will get notified again. Don't want to spam you lovely people! =) Thank you so much!
The notifications are sent again after an edit? Well... then azracer2000 got notified 3 times I think. Had some typos... xD
Haha, yes they are. I never noticed until someone told me to stop spamming them (I was editing a post the whole time) Wouldn't dare edit this on. See here on Steemit we learn something new Everyday =)
Congratulations @scrooger!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
OMG that's crazy! Cool! I like it! Looking forward to more of these =)
Great initiative in giving back. 99% giveaway is certainly generous on your part. Upvoted. I am already a follower and do not care if I win your giveaway. I like to keep in touch with your blogs.
I request you to visit my latest blogs when you have time and leave your valuable comments. I have posted a blog about a mystique boat ride on the river Ganges today :)
Checked it out. Really nice photos you took there! Thank you for following and your continued support! Let's see maybe the randomiser picks you! Who knows!?
Scrooge McDuck took in his 3 little nephews, can't get much more selfless than that! Im a new follower and have been devouring your posts! Awesome sauce🌻 Upvoted & Resteemed
Scrooge McDuck has always been my favourite character on ‘Duck Tales’, when I was a kid!.. Hmm, now that I’ve remembered that fact, I wonder if this is the reason why me and @scrooger hit it off so well, haha! :D
Duck Tales a-woo-oooo!
Now that song is in my head... heads to youtube ot play in the background while I type away at these comments
Didn't they just reboot Duck-Tales? That was my favorite cartoon as a kid :)
Congrats on your 500th followers..:)
Thanks a lot =)
Thanks, and good job on achieving this!
Also, make sure to notify that one guy you forgot the "@" for.

Congrats! I use your formatting post all the time to try to bring my posts up to the next level. I'm starting to remember some of the basics, but with no programming background, it is so helpful to have your post as a reference guide.
Yeah that guide is something I can't go without now. Made it for myself and for others in the easiest way I know how. Thanks
Congrats on your first 500 followers! I'm sure there are many more where that came from!
I surely hope so! I will keep it up and they will come. Just need to work hard and help where I can. Thanks

Congratulations! It's well deserved !! Keep up the good work! Thank you for being here, thank you for being yourself !! Good continuity!
Much appreciated! Thank you for your support! Always nice hearing from you. I'll keep the posts coming if you keep reading =)
I'm new, can you help a little minnow out, lol :)
Sure thing! Stick around, read some guides. Ask questions not for followers or upvotes. My 1st tip to you =)
I'll be following you and checking out your guides, THANKS :)
Congrats !
Hope to see more quality posts from you, mate
Thanks mate! Sure thing, trying my best to inform you guys! Working on some tings now but next week will be full of posts!
K. I'm personally starting to look into what ideas I could make series out of.
Been considering a gaming series based on games that take a lot of thought, like this one:
I honestly have no idea what I am looking at. Maybe after some explenation I will get it. Looks like some sort of puzzle? Could be interesting! Make a post about it when you have it worked out. Let's see how everyone responds =)
IT's a puzzle solving game that is based of a very basic assembly language combined with hardware parts that communicate between each other.
It's my kind of game, because it's literally training your brain for problem solving, with a slight veneer of gamification to keep it looking like a game XD
Dude! I like it! Turn it into a Steemit game!
It's not mine, so no can do (Also, I'm a neophyte coder, so no idea how I'd do it).
But it does raise the question... can we make a game based on the steemit blockchain...
Maybe an RPG with microtransactions of STEEM directly integrated XD
Or a Card Collection game where the most popular authors, posts, themes... on Steemit have a card, and can be traded...
Possibilities, possibilities XO
Just started following you, Great posts! I will keep and eye out for more of your content in the future. I just started 2 months ago and am doing my best to make an impact on this community. Its great to see people like yourself making such awesome content. Hopefully someday mine will be closer to your caliber!
Just keep it up and don't get discouraged. Practice makes perfect. Thanks for the follow. Stick around =)
You got some interesting content here i needed to see something about formatting my blog. Thanks. Upvoted and followed
Thanks fr the upvote and follow! Yes that editing one is really useful, I use it all the time!
congrats... great achievement
Thanks! Slowly but surely building it up!
congrates friend.
Thanks @cutegirl =)
Sad to discover you so late buddy! Congrats and let's see who'll get his 1,000 follower first ;)
A bit of friendly competition is always healthy and a good motivator. Thanks mate!
Holy mooooly ;) Great work .. I had 100 followers Today! Yeaah!
Feels great right!? Keep it up mate! The more you get the better you want to write for your followers. =)
Yeeaaah .. must only get better writing , english is not my first language
Practice makes perfect!
That is great to see your giveaway and I will be doing same as I reach some milestone in near future. May be a small giveaway on reaching 200 followers.
I do give away for all the milestones. Most followers like it a lot. Keep it up mate that 200 is just around the corner!
Yeah I am planning on what to give. SBD or upvote as my upvote. What you suggest?
Upvote for upvote is a bit unfair because of different vote strenghts. A give away is always a nice way to go =)
Upvote is not a must bro. I am not in favour of upvote for upvote.
Oh, I think I misunderstood what you meant. "SBD or upvote as my upvote" thought you meant upvote for upvote. My bad =P I am also against upvote for upvote
No No
As you can see my giveaway post. I will be giving 5 SBD worth of upvotes to my followers.
BTW check my first giveaway and give your suggestion
wow, 500+ followers in a month or so is great, i am hoping to replicate your success!
Hope you do! Just keep posting and having fun. Don't look at the money too much. Educste yourself an learn about Steemit. Will help you a lot in the long run =) good luck and thank you
That is the spirit of awesomeness! Keep it up. Upvoted and followed. It'd be great if you could follow me back and comment/critique my posts
Cool checked it out! Some nice pictures but maybe some more readable content? Just my opinion. Keep posting! Thanks
Thanks for your visit and comments! Sure, I will add more content next time!
Most welcome mate! Good luck!
