The Value of Tony Winchester aka @sirwinchester
First I plan on sharing much of the profits from this post as I consider Tony to be a new friend and I feel he brings incredible drive and diversity to steemit
Tony is relatively new to steemit and he should give new minnows hope that it is not too late to be successful here on steemit. He does so many things well and created a #introduceyourself post that drew people in. Tony Winchester's Introduce Yourself Post
This is a great example of something that while is specific to him and cannot be copied because nobody has the same story as he does, but could be copied by other newcomers in format and expanded to fit your personal style and what you plan to bring to steemit.
He is a man of many hats - both literally and in the sense that he is a jack of all trades
A few of the many hats Tony wears:
- Dancer
- Singer
- Entrepreneur
- Cryptocurrency Enthusiast
- Choreographer
- Programmer
- Multidimensional Author (Writes different genres fluently and creatively)
- Social Media Marketer
- YouTuber
- Fluent in multiple languages (German, Computer, I'd guess math as well but I can't be sure)
And this is not an exhaustive list
I wanted to touch briefly on his talent as a dancer and his creative writing
Nobody can dispute his talent. I will gladly defend his passion and skill for dance. It is a joy to see such a passionate dancer and I have friends who will be inspired by his work here in Buffalo.
Within the realm of dance he is talented in many different disciplines and can create dances to a wide variety of styles. It is clear that music and dance flow in his veins and while it looks effortless, I've tried to learn hip-hop and can tell you it is not something one immediately succeeds at
Two different styles of writing that are equally entertaining even for me, as I am not a big fan of science fiction
Claire Remy: Ups and Downs of a young Athlete (Steemit Exclusive Story)
I won't give the story away, but it follows a young tennis star through some difficult struggles in her life. It is not only a brilliant story, but also Tony made a demand for future installments by asking questions of the users and releasing bite sized pieces that are easily readable. I actually teared up in part 2, but you'll have to read it for yourself to find out why.
Steem Cosmos Station: Is There Still Hope For Steemit?
I didn't think I would enjoy this futuristic story, but Tony made it accessible to both science fiction fans / future world enthusiast along with the core steemit audience. He found a way to bring in some great steemit/cryptocurrency humor that made me an instant fan.
This is just a small sampling of his work, but his drive is infectious. I'm not trying to put him on a pedestal, but I deeply appreciate what he is doing on this platform. While I don't encourage anyone to try to copy his posts directly, I would love to see people with passion as visible as his.
Anyone familiar with @stellabelle (and who isn't) knows she is hard to impress. He achieved that, and not by begging her to look at his content, or sending her $.001 steem dollars to get her attention, but by making and impact on her in the comments section. Read about it yourself here. a href="MINNOW RISING: If You Are A Minnow And Can't Get Upvotes, Learn From A Rising Minnow Star: @sirwinchester">https://steemit.com/steemit/@stellabelle/minnow-rising-if-you-are-a-minnow-and-can-t-get-upvotes-learn-from-a-rising-minnow-star-sirwinchester This is a great example of how to get noticed without spamming the comment feed with links that aren't relative to the original post. If you are still commenting "Great Post!!" take a note of how to add value to the comment section like Tony did and your rise through the ecosystem will be a much faster ascent.
This may seem like I am trying to suck up to Tony by outlining everything that I like about him. That is not the intent at all. If there were more people who delved deeply into his content and were inspired to use his passion in their own content, steemit will continue to become more valuable
I'm sure Tony has flaws (even though right now I haven't seen too many), but not only is he successful, but humble. The most successful/valuable people on steemit are those who are respected by all and not just the whales. Tony has shown interest in all levels of people and is reaping reward for his hard work.
"What Hats Do You Bring To Steemit?"
The answer to that question will not only help you succeed, but give you focus so that you are not trying to run in too many different directions at once and not doing justice to any particular skill. It's not about the quantity of the posts you do as seen by carefully crafted posts that may earn thousands of dollars from those who may post only a few times a week. It's all about quality and hard work.
"Sustainable long term success is not an accident. At some point hard work and dedication were poured into the work of those you see succeeding now. This is not a get-rich-quick platform. It is a hard-work-rewarded platform"
@bendjmiller222
Yes I am coining that phrase but you may use it freely. If someone else has this same quote already I will gladly cite you instead
Hopefully we will see more Tony Winchesters flocking to steemit and making sure this platform stays creative and unique
Good Day To All!
