2017 Was Good... But 2018 Will Be GREAT
On Steemit
I hadn't realized just how much I had accomplished in under six months on steemit until @pennsif of the homesteading community I belonged to had asked for mentors for incoming and existing members. He had put a call out members and I answered immediately.
My Experience On Steemit, Projects & Goals
This is listed in the post about how far I have advanced, what I have accomplished and what I have to offer.
- I joined steemit in mid-July 2017, and have a reputation of just hovering under 59 currently.
- I am a moderator for the homesteadersonline Discord group
- I am the un official meet and greet ambassador for the same group.
- I am a @fulltimegeek Steward of Gondor; which means he has delegated 5k SP (steem power) to me to be his “spokesperson” and find new talent among the steemians.
- I am the sole writer of a newsletter at @qurator ( which has about 500 members) and write posts every morning, as well as collaborate to approve incoming members for the group/curator.
- I belong to nine Discord groups; while I am active in three every day, I do venture into the others for updates.
- I have a weekly recognition post where I recognize fellow homesteaders called HOLLER OUT Tuesday
- I just started doing a weekly update for the community with new contests and all other pertinent topics
- With the assistance of @beatitudes8, we have a weekly seed exchange that happens every Monday. Giveaways and things for other homesteaders. We hope to grow this more and expand bigger in Spring 2018.
- I have decent knowledge of formatting on steemit, as well as other platforms
- Every week I have been EMBRACING a new homesteading member and offering 100% UPvotes every day for a week.
- I just completed a Secret Santa giveaway and have a current one for the New Year where I just spread the joy and pay-it-forward to other homesteaders with consistent and good quality posts.
A few more things I would add are that I belong to another wonderful Discord group called steemitbloggers. The support in the group is amazing and I am thrilled to be a part of it; all thanks to @jaynie who happens to be a tremendous steemian and fabulous owner/moderator of the group.
I'm always on the task of helping other new steemians in their venture and quest to grow their page, find out answers to their questions and guide them.
My 2018 Steemit Goals & Plans
I plan to continue posting every day, commenting and replying as much as I can. As I said in a recent post, I am the resteem queen and love spreading others' informative and well-written posts for my following to read and discover.
Continue being a Steward Of Gondor for @fulltimegeek and seeking new upcoming steemit talent
Advancing my visibility and grow more by adding to my following and increasing my reputation. On a personal level, I have a goal of hitting reputation by my six-month steemit anniversary in mid-January. Not at all impossible.
Continuing to have giveaways and add even more to the homesteading community.
Continue to be the qurator writer and sharing the curation page's information with all who may want or need some more visibility
Expand and improve my weekly Tuesday recognition post (HOLLER OUT) with some great homesteading and gardening talent. I have some ideas and just need to implement them over the next few weeks.
2017 On The Homestead
- I purchased a greenhouse originally for hardening my seedlings but soon it evolved into an herb area. I moved the herbs to an entire front yard plant bed and continued planting new herbs.
2018 Goals, Plans & Dreams
- I plan on having more containers, raised beds and even a cold frame next year.
- With limited space for a true garden, I will be relying on my knowledge and MANY pots and small containers to grow what I want and need to be able to preserve for the winter months.
- I will be purchasing a pressure cooker to add to my skills for preserving more garden items and even meats.
- I would like to have a larger, more permanent, greenhouse
- I want to add some small fowl, chickens.
- Planning on expanding my other skills in the DIY and recipe knowledge by making more health items from herbs, more infused oils & tinctures
- Plan on continuing the healthy2018 way of life and eating better and exercising more often
- Expanding my front herb garden to produce more medicinal herbs
So how was your 2017? What plans do you have for 2018?
