Recently, it seems my follower count goes up just about every time I check it, but I still remember how hard it was to acquire them in the beginning. When just starting out, I used to consider it very lucky if I was able to get even one person to follow me from a post I spent the entire day preparing.
I feel that the two main obstacles to gaining followers at the start of your journey, are low visibility, and people not knowing enough about your personality to decide whether to follow you.
I have seen a fair amount of 20 question style interviews posted recently, but those interviews are typically with members of the community that have already established quite a following.
Thanks to 
's legendary post from a few days ago, I had the idea to give new members of the community an opportunity to introduce themselves properly. This should allow other users the chance to get to know our newest members a bit better, and figure out whether they would like to give them a follow.
Here's what I'm thinking.
The interviews will be conducted over a microphone, using voice. I feel that you can get to know the type of person someone is much quicker when you are able to hear their voice as opposed to merely seeing them type.
The interviews would be approximately 30 minutes, and revolve around a predetermined set of questions, with the rest of the conversation being improvised.
The aim would be to introduce at least one new member to the community per week, but I'm not against improving on that if there are enough willing participants.
All liquid rewards from any of the interviews would go to the interviewee.
If you're interested in being interviewed and gaining the opportunity to earn followers, friends and rewards, let me know in the comments or on steemit.chat at the same username.
Give this post a resteem to give more users the opportunity to get involved, and give me a follow if you are interested in being introduced to our newest members of the community. Have a great night, Steemians.
