Hello guys, I happen to find steemit towards the end of August and ever since then I've experienced an rapid level of intellectual growth. I like saying to people who I mentor about the blockchain, "steemit has a way of bringing the best out of you, and unlike your school teachers it rewards you for learning "
I must confess that steemit is more technical and demanding compared to any other social media sites, and that makes it a little bit difficult for steem ambassadors to get to explain all that it is about in an easy way . Well I think that's based on the premise that for every prize, there's a price.
It is in the spirit of the development and benefits I've enjoyed so far on the blockchain that made me make it a point to bring as many people as possible to steemit. **I've used several mediums both online and offline to ensure that the steem gospel is preached. I belong to several whatsapp group where I coach and mentor people about the blockchain. I also founded an offline minnow school on my school campus, where I register and nurture new steemians on daily basis. Created a whatsapp group for the minnow school so other steemians who enjoys our services but are restricted by geographical conditions can participate and benefit from the minnow school. I'll talk more on that later on.
Various Efforts Put In Place At Different Capacities For The Promotion of Steemit
THE OFFLINE MINNOW SCHOOL ON THE CAMPUS OF MY SCHOOL
This initiative was birthed after I realised the number of dead accounts I have following me, using this link. I felt it was a waste, registration on steemit could be free but in the real sense all of those accounts are paid for. And it'd be a total waste if someone enjoys the benefits of a free account and after a while abandon it. Hence, I saw the need for mentorship;
I started going beyond just assisting newbies with registration, I ensure that they keep posting on daily or weekly basis.
As you can see, I've been providing online aid at every capacity.
Some documentations from my offline aid
THE WHATSAPP AID
Towards the end of this year we faced some difficulties with the minnow school continuation, due to the fact that most of our students had to go to their respective hometowns for the Christmas break. We can't stop reaching out to the minnows, so I created a whatsapp group for easy communication. Providing video tutorial tips, even when the minnows are far away. This is the link to the whatsapp group.

Some sample video tutorials sent to minnows for assistance

PROJECT20MILLIONNAIJA AND THE LAST STEEMUP OGUN STATE ANCHORED BY MYSELF (@bait002), @kesolink and @ewuoso
I can't fully talk about the the feats from 2017 without making mention of the last remarkable one, steemup Ogun State. This program was initiated by @kesolink who happen to be the host. We held the steemup on the 30th of December, 2017 and it was a huge success. Myself @kesolink and @ewuoso ensured the program was a success. @ejemai also gave us monetary support and we were grateful. we got to feed and audience of over 3 dozen people eagerly yearning for the steem gospel. 😁
MY MOMENTS WITH @ejemai AT THE STEEM ACCELERATOR HUB
On few occasions I've been privileged to meet with @ejemai and he's been a huge source of encouragement and inspiration. He is truly a brother and his patience is something every minnow aspiring to succeed on the blockchain must look up to. He's the founder of the Steem Accelerator hub in Port Harcourt Nigeria. Where he provides all steemians within the geographical regions with free Wi-Fi hot-spot and electricity to eliminate the barrier of inconsistency in blogging experience.
So that's it fo guys. it's been was a great year 2017 and more features have been added to the Stach offline minnow school, one of which is the minnows rebirth where minnows will reproduce and be rewarded offline for their promotional efforts. Check my blog @bait002 for updates.
