I recently started mentoring someone who was about to give up just a few days ago. Look at her now!
I wouldn't still be here and wouldn't be having the success that I am without the mentoring of others here in the Steemit community!
If more and more people on Steemit have success we all win. However, ask yourself, what am I doing to help others? In this article you’ll see how a little advice and encouragement made a BIG difference for one of our members!

Why Help Others?
- You can describe it any way you want by using either a religious expression or a secular one. “Do unto others”, “There’s more happiness in giving than in receiving”, “Karma”, “What goes around comes around”. The point is if you do good things the right way there is a much better chance that good things will happen to you. Bottom Line: It's the right thing to do both here and everywhere!
- We want people to be successful here on Steemit so that we will have active users. If users go dormant or decide to quit we all lose value.
- The success of others means that wealth is redistributed and more members will be voting with Steempower and will be able to make a difference.
How to Mentor Someone Here On Steemit
- look for someone who is new and that could use some guidance.
- In your comments to their blog post, after giving positive feedback, give some advice as to what they can do to improve.
- Be specific in your recommendations and give examples or links if possible.
- Follow up on their next article and do the same so that they can continue to get better.
- upvote good comments that you receive by newbies on your posts so that they receive a "tip" and are thereby encouraged to curate.
- Rinse and repeat!
A Real Life Example
I’d like to introduce you to . She wrote a post and advertised it on the boards at Steemit.chat.
sounded so frustrated and about to give up but on the other hand her tone was of a humble person willing to learn. I decided to reach out to her!
Here is her post and just watch what happened with some mentoring!
Her English is not perfect but it gives her a unique character that she can spotlight!
This is My Response to Her Cry For Help!
Notice her humble response " I will be around to learn" and as she put it: "Thnx for the advices".
She Also Thanked Me In Steemit.chat And I Gave Her More Advice There!
As she says she put the advice into practice and check out her posts!
These Are Her Recent Results With A Bit of Help!
She started showing her Bulagarian side with a visit to her parents new born rabbits and a Bulgarian recipe!
Wow You Did It
!
Of course let's be realistic. It's unlikely that all of her posts will make almost $200.00 but imagine how she feels. Imagine how I feel. Imagine how YOU could feel.
I'm still following up and I'm still making suggestions. I honestly hope that she has even more success than me! If she does we'll all benefit!
I'm not saying that I'm the only one that helped as she herself says that she received plenty of help. I do however make it a practice to try and assist those that are willing to learn.
Are You Mentoring Other Steemers to Help Us All Succeed?
If you are, good for you and keep up the great work! If not, I'm confident that you're anxious to give it a try so that we will all benefit........ and that includes you!
Until next time,
