@liverussian – reputation 47

How she introduces her self:

Teaching the Russain language to foreigners; I love what I do! Actually I love many other things: pencil drawing, needle felting, poetry, life!


This is one of those talented Steemians who certainly has options when it comes to success on steemit.

  • She has a great command of the English Language, even though it is not here first language. She is able to create coherent and fluent posts in English, charaterised by her love for poetry.

  • Her quirky writing style and subject matter (at times) defines a whimsical carefree style - which makes here posts fun to read. An examples of this is The best pets are... RATS!

  • If you are looking for something more serious, she has that too, She is a worthy competitor in contests such as those hosted by @jayna, @vdux and @prydefoltz.

  • Her lesson at Steemit school of Karaoke, make her a threat to some mainstream artists. So watch out musos @liverussian wants a stake! Listen to a recording here.

  • And then she has the ability to sketch as well, here is an example - Pencil Drawing of my friend's cat / with the reference photo

  • I think @liverussian could easily launch a successful D-tube career if she wanted to. Here she pays tribute to Russian poet, Evgeny Evtushenko - See the clip here

  • Finally, her main strength lies and commenting. A comment from @liverussian could easily bring your post to life! This is where her quirky style and whimsical personality really comes into full effect! For this reason I believe she would make an excellent curator in future, as this is what she loves doing - evaluating and commenting.


MY MAIN CRITICISM:

  • @liverussian seems to be taking her skills for granted - she should be posting (a good quality post - which she is capable of.) at least every second day. Should she do that, I believe the sky is the limit.

@tomboy – reputation 46

How she introduces her self:

A writer •blogger • Smartphone Photographer • Nature Lover •Movie Fanatic •Novel Reader •Foodie • Lover of Korean Dramas


I simply love coming across the blogs of multi-potentialites, and for me @tomboy represents just that. I think that this Steemian is vastly under-valued, but that is because there are some quality issues. Let me point out some of her strengths before diving into potential growth points.

  • She ably her day in here ULOG, therefore an a capable blogger

  • I think that @tomboy is a decent story teller as demonstrated here

  • She has an eye for beautiful photgraphs, and snaps them as well as seen here


MY MAIN CRITICISM:

  • @tomboy - would really benefit by improvements in markdown and well selected pictures. This would bring life to her posts and make the reader linger a bit longer.
  • Secondly, her time and effort in taking great photographs is wasted - as she should add some well though out commentary to the pictures. Sometimes with pictures less is more - particularly when the picture start clashing visually. Again, markdown skills would improve the visual impact.

Favourite Witness:

When it comes to witnesses I'm completely out at sea. I've heard of some, but don't truly know what their values are or what they represent. The other dilemma that I am confronted with is which witness active and which is not. Not to mention which witnesses are outside the top twenty.

For this reason I have contemplated selecting a proxy (the other button one can use when selecting a witness). So without further ado, I have nominated @thedarkhorse as my proxy.

Why did I select the @thedarkhorse?

  • He is knowledgeable about the things that matter on Steemit and who the witnesses are.
  • He has a mission of growing the "middle class" of Steemit - thus he would select witnesses that would promote this ideal.
  • Finally, @thedarkhorse is very active at personal level with most steemian - no ivory tower issues.
