Resteeming a post on Steem adds it to our blogs indefinitely and publishes it to all of our follower feeds instantly. Every post on my blog, including resteems, goes out in the Steem feed to 30,000+ followers, shows in my Steem blog page indefinitely, appears as a post on my Facebook page with 2,239,397 followers, and goes out as a tweet on Twitter to 103,260 more followers.
Insights
Every post I write or resteem receives 1,000 to 20,000+ organic impressions on social media when combining all social media platforms resulting in hundreds of readers viewing most every post along with upvotes and comments on the best. This is a big responsibility we have given me that I need help with.
This @dtube video and the matching text in this post provides a transparent system all of us are invited to participate in to help me choose the best posts to resteem.
I Intend to Resteem 5 Times for Every 1 Post I Make!
For the first seven months on Steem, I rationalized not resteeming because "it made my blog harder to read" and "would frustrate readers." While there is some truth to this, I also was missing out on my best chance to give back resulting in constant feelings of insecurity even as my follower rank climbed up now to #5 out of 750,000+ accounts. An insecure author must horde followers and avoid anything that might scare them away like resteeming a disagreeable post or even sharing a post so good that readers might forget the resteemer.
A secure author on Steem is likely to resteem MORE than post because the author has so much love, trust, and confidence in readers that the author is not afraid to "lose" readers to other authors and enjoys connecting readers with other authors that they might enjoy. @aggroed turned me onto this in our interview where we can quickly see after posting it I started finally resteeming more.
What I love about resteeming is the feeling of confidence I get in my place in our community for the first time combined with the feelings of love and generosity I experience every time I resteem in helping so many of us readers discover new authors and continue following those we forgot about. Resteeming has been the biggest opportunity I have missed so far and finally has left me feeling whole here.
Naturally I am an ALL IN kind of guy meaning now I intend to resteem consistently throughout every day while then just sticking to one or two posts a day myself including more short form posts and videos. Instead of obsessing just about my own earnings, I now am invested in helping those I resteem earn more which is a huge relief from just focusing on myself.
The question becomes then how do I setup a way for us to collaborate on helping me have access every day to the best posts to resteem? How do we make a system that is fair and transparent?
Three Methods to Request a Resteem!
- Request resteems and curate requests in my discord channel at https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/. For 99% of us, this is the method we are likely to want to participate in because it is free, easy to get started with, and requires an investment of time curating resteem requests by others. To participate, join the "resteem-requests" channel in the "Jerry Banfield and Friends" discord and start reacting to requests by others FIRST! After reading posts by others and finding the best, then any of us are welcome to share a link to one or two of our posts. Naturally the more we are generous in reacting to posts by others, the more we will receive reactions back from others. I browse this by authors I recognize and I am now ignoring requests with no reactions and self reactions. The way I recognize authors is to see positive and negative feedback on posts by others. Reactions allow me to see which posts are great right away and which are not therefore saving me hours of reading. I encourage reactions both in terms of liking/loving a post and disagreeing/disliking posts by others. For those of us not having the time or desire to read through ten or twenty posts for every request we make, I have a faster option.
- Partners from https://jerrybanfield.com/partners/ are able to request resteems and share posts directly with other partners in the partners discord channel which is not visible to everyone. Becoming a partner costs $49 a month or $999 for a lifetime payment. Payments can be sent in Steem and SBD to @jerrybanfieldroi at the current market price as well as made with a credit card on Patreon and my website. The top 30 witness voters and top 30 upvoters on my Steem posts are also included as partners as long as the top 30 position is maintained. What most partners like best is access to a weekly call at 9 pm EST in the partner voice channel.
- Occasionally I accept Friend requests on discord and direct messages on steemit.chat from users I recognize which provides access to message me with posts to read. Naturally my friends list is limited and not easy to get on outside of being a partner or top voter because my time for being a friend is limited. Any of us are welcome to attempt make requests on discord or via direct messages on steemit.chat instead of using the first to methods if we realize that this will usually fail as 99% of requests so far have. I filmed this video and wrote this post with the hope you can know what works and what does not to get connected with me.
Who Is Next?
I have two posts ready to resteem and after that I am looking for the next 5 to 10 every day! Will you be next? We shall see!
Thank you for reading this post which I hope was useful when you want to collaborate on having me resteem your post!
Love,
Jerry Banfield
PS: I am grateful 5,258 of us have voted for me as a witness and/or set me as a proxy at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because witnesses on Steem produce the new blocks every 3 seconds the way miners do on other blockchains. Will you please add me to your witness votes today or set me as a proxy because witness votes are the most important we make on Steem?

No wonder he’s called Mr. Steemit
First I am hearing of it lol
That won't work because we already have a mrs.steemit, and they are not together. Haha
Who is that mrs.steemit? Please tell to those who don't know as I don't.
he was probably referring to @stellabelle (:
Thank you @queenjeneene for clarifying this issue to me. Though I imagined her slightly different. ;)
Nice hahaha
Good stuff @jerrybanfield. I love that you're always looking for ways to give back to the Steemit community and I think this is another great way to do so. Let me know if there's any way I can help out.
Thank you Brandon for your consistent support! So far the biggest help we need is curation in the resteem requests channel in the form of reactions to the posts!
I voted for you a very long time ago :)
Man I love the work you do, I feel that you are Ellon Musk and I own Tesla. When I see the innovation and work that you do.
Keep up the great posts Jerry!
thanks jerry i've learned a lot from you
Good to see you doing so much for the community. Shows true character and a sense of long term positive reputation.
You could simply post anything and upvote yourself 10 times a day but you choose to do so much for the community. Thank you Jerry.
@ssjsasha thank you for noticing and commenting that you see that I care about our community first here because that helps me hope I will keep feeling secure and that what I contribute is good enough!
What does one gain when that one becomes a partner?
@yourmercury, here's the @jerrybanfield Partner information link shared in the post above... I know. It is so jam-packed with awesome goodness, easy to miss some things...
Enjoy:

More than anything else, I am grateful to you for finding my post worthy of resteem yesterday. May God bless you richly. RESTEEMED

@eurogee
Thank you Jerry...Love your content and what you are doing for steem...how is the Steem/USD project going?
There is a genuine way of following algo and you are just setting a good example of that . very glad to see that. Kudos
Thanks for sharing a great idea.
During my time at Steemit I have learned a lot and this has changed the way I see things, everything arrives in its moment no matter the time or the place everything depends on the opportunities that may arise and the capacity we have for take advantage of 100%.
We can build a tower of ideas and turn them into reality, if we focus on what we want it sounds like something that only happens in movies but the truth is that in Steemit dreams can come true, with motivation and vision to the future to achieve what we want.
Within Steemit there are endless projects that have great ideas, others that are in full growth as well as some projects with more humanitarian purposes that really leave the name of steemit at the top of the world filling the entire community with pride . These projects generate enough energy in this platform to continue working on innovative projects. This brings a great responsibility, since our most loyal followers are waiting for good content and ideas that can help us grow as a group and we can share this knowledge with the other users that make up the Steemit family. @jerrybanfield

Resteeming... I used to be skeptical about this because I felt my posts will be buried and someone visiting my blog won't see my content..
But I've seen it in another perspective now.
@ubongj thank you I experienced the exact same journey and am happy to see you can see what I see now!
Yes.. Thanks a lot
Yes.. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the post Jerry!
It's been great seeing how far you've come on steemit. I remember when you were just getting started and sending you super chats on youtube livestreams and the work you've done since then has been great not only for yourself, but for your family and this community as well : ).
Would love to send you a friend request on discord and chat a bit. No pressure and no obligation, just let me know if you're willing!
Keep doing what you do my friend, steemit is better for it : )
Thanks Jerry
