I've been on Steemit for over a year now, And I've been annoying my family like crazy to join Steemit. Finally, it's starting to happen.
My brother's girlfriend Trisha Who is @Treeshaface joined first.
I Was surprised how open and excited she was about Steemit!

I also got Hive account@lauralemons To join! She's easily the most active person I got on here! Laura Is a long time internet friend that I've had. We met each other online through our art!

My sister joined a while ago But hasn't written yet, unfortunately. She's scared to start writing (Perfectionism at play!)

My Brothers Best Friend Scott also joined. His username is Hive account@sjensen

My Brother Wrote His Intro Post Today!

And Now my brother Mike! Also joined. He actually wrote his first intro post today, If you want to help him out :) Hive account@woundedknee

Lots of my Facebook Friends Also Joined!

I am trying to get them to post more! But it's amazing getting some of my old school pals, Fellow coloring book artists, And colorists all to join Steemit!

My boyfriend Hive account@mahikaru Joined.
Some other people I helped get on the platform:
Hive account@lovewild Hive account@terishermansart @Anxietygirl @Badxwolff @Mystina83

@Artsygoddess (I can't take credit for this one)

There are other people as well, But I don't have their usernames. Sometimes they don't ask for my vote Or send me their posts. So It's hard to know exactly how many people joined from my relentless posting on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. As well as mentioning Steemit On Instagram.

The Hardest Part

I'm finding that it's really hard for Steemit to "Stick" on people. I get people to sign up, And they don't write, Or they only write a couple of posts.
The whole blogging thing seems intimidating for them. Which hopefully we can figure out a way to make it less scary? I'm still promoting Steemit in everyway that I can! Hopefully I can later get hundreds or thousands of people to join later on.

Everytime I post, I still get a little nervous. I'm afraid something in my post won't sit right with people, That I may mess up my words and write something offensive. I feel like that fear resides with many of us here on Steemit, But we have to ignore it and take the risk. Luckily Steemit has the nicest community ever! I feel like so many of us are understanding and down to earth! I wish people weren't so afraid to post!
