Hello guys, this is @hermannsol and i am about a month old on steemit. It was quite a great feeling for me when i first joined steemit. The warm welcome i received from communities like the @greetersguild and people like @gracefavour, @terminallyill, @davemccoy and other outstanding people here was just so fascinating and for a moment i believed i was in the right place. I just knew this was the right media to invest my time, effort amd talent in.

But after a few weeks being here on the platform, i got a few votes on my posts even though it was not that high in terms of value but as time went on, things got really worse and i had posts that had $0.00 payouts. This really continued and i almost gave up my desire to continue here on the platform. I just couldn't handle it, seeing posts that contained few images and short words paying hundreds while i worked so hard to develop good content and get nothing. I was sure that was it for me and i was thinking of leaving but everyday encouraging words from some amazing people like @amariespeaks and projects like @newbieresteemday, @minnowsupport that presented opportunities everyday for newbies like myself gave me that courage to steem on.
I finally had a share from @newbieresteemday and till today i don't know how and suddenly, all my posts in a week was always upvoted by them. This was the moment i knew i had to stick on to steemit because i finally had atleast one follower who was always there to upvote my posts. The value of their vote was just 0.01SBD but to me it meant a lot. It brought back a sense of confidence that atleast someone out there showed appreciation for my work. It was not long from that point that i came across some amazing people like @johndoer123 who had contests that everyone that participates goes back home a winner and smiling that even grounded me more on my decision to stick it on here on steemit and continue to steem on. That is one of the best decisions i ever made and right now i am glad because things are getting better and better everyday. My future seems so much brighter now here on steemit.

You just made me cry(still crying actually). To know I helped just one person to stay on steemit makes everything that I have done completely worth it. And the fact that I know that I am helping you, bring so many tears of joy. And for you to mention me here, amongst all of these great people, to me is truly amazing. This is a enormous show of love, and support for me, and I don't know if I truly deserve it but I am so appreciative and thankful for it. Thank you my dearest friend.

@johndoer123 thank you so much for what you are doing to help others. I really appreciate your nature and desire to make others live's better! Its an honor to be mentioned in the same breath as you! :)

The honor is all mine sir. I pale in comparison to you and what you are doing here.
In the words of a couple of nerds from the past...

haha... funny John!

You know, a couple of times I thought it was weird I hadn't had anything come through my feed that you had posted. But I never got around to checking it out.🤔 I thought life probably just had you busy. But when I stopped by your place, I noticed you have been posting. So, I figured out the problem, shortly thereafter...I unfollowed you.😔 Must have ogre fingered my phone when I was cleaning out my inactive followings. That or it was the not so smart phone I have that I have to use for everything. It does stupid stuff some times. For a while there I was double posting all of my comments somehow. I didn't even realize it until somebody told me that I was spamming. 😁 Makes me think I should probably go through and double check to see if I can realize anybody else I may have messed up with. In any case I have you back on my list now!

You are welcome @johndoer123 and you deserve it 💯%.
You have been such a blessing and encouragement to me here on steemit. Your contests mean a lot to me and i hate it when i miss one of them. THANK YOU.

@]johndoer123 - I too have been helped and uplifted by your contests and positive attitude. Well done and thank you!

☺ These are the kind words that make it all worth while. And of course your welcome but as always I must thank you in return for you being so great to support me. It's every body joining together behind me that allows me to do what I do for everyone else. You and all my other great supporters are the reason I am where I am. I will never forget this. I promise.

I am very happy to hear that you stayed and there is much more here than just posts.... I remember your early days too and I think you can do really well here... Just remember it isn't the amount of posts you make or really even the quality, it is the people you make friends with and connections to. We are all really in the same position... In reality we are trying to help each other and THAT is our value. So keep it up and anytime you are feeling down, don't hesitate to contact me and I will try to help you see the bigger picture.

Great post btw, I resteemed and upvoted and also have a bot upvote coming soon... But I would've done it without the contest, it is a great post and I'm happy to see you stayed!

Thanks @davemccoy.
You are awesome and thanks for all you continue to do here for us. You are such a good nentor. Plus you're so right. I now realize it's not about posts or followers but the friends you make here. I sure have met a good number of great minds here. Thanks

Congratulations you have been upvoted and resteemed as part of #newbieresteemday's top 10 posts for the day! We invite you to use our tag to connect with more of our members. To learn more: Come Join Us!!! (Newbie Resteem Initiative)

Man i was looking through the feeds for a good content post and i almost gave up until i come through this. It is very inspiring. I went through the exact same path. I am glad i have companions on this and to totally relate to. Happy to have read you post. Hope to see more and more from you in the future.
