Hello everyone! Its been a long while since I wrote anything at all here on Steemit and to be perfectly honest with you, I was on a hiatus from writing blogs here for a while. But I was still somewhat active trying to welcome new members and commenting posts. A lot of great information you can find on steemit after all xD

Soo... the 2 reasons for my hiatus are the following:
1.) I was mainly focus on videos on my YouTube channel. Incase you also want to support me as well, I will be promoting my channel even more during the next few days so people can help me spread my channel out there. Just recently it was my 10 year anniversary making content on here. Here is my link: https://www.youtube.com/user/DenoxkunReturns
2.) I have noticed that having over 600 followers and posting a blog here... almost no one at all has commented on my posts at all and I love receiving feedback on my content so I can interact with my followers there. Like what is the point of writing if no one reads it... even tho regardless I love to write but still... But my action for that is that I would like to spend more time connecting with some of my followers personally so we can support each other better. Usually I would try to do that on Discord....
STEEMIT REALLY NEEDS A NOTIFICATION SYSTEM HERE LIKE I SAID MANY TIMES SINCE EARLY THIS YEAR! SO DISCORD IS GOOD AT SENDING NOTIFICATIONS WHEN WE ALL POST NEW BLOGS!
NOW FOR MY STEEMIT DISCORD SERVER:
Okay, if you look on the left side, these are all the channels I have created for my discord server. They are all assigned for different topics. The reasons why I decided to create a Discord Server for Steemit is to be able to connect a lot more with the followers I have here and the steemians that I welcome in this platform.
This is what I do to welcome a steemian on the platform and into my Steemit Discord Server, I will use my friend 
Here is the link to her intro post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@angelong0510/yo-steemit-nice-to-meet-you-all , she has a pretty decent presentation in the introduceyourself tab.
I liked her post and I decided to welcome her. Its been a while since I was consistent with it but when I was, I welcomed about an average of 3-5 new steemians each day and left a discord link telling them that they can join a growing community of steemians to help each other get familiar with the platform and meet new people from all around the world.
Notice that this message I sent her is a template I use for everyone I introduced but I changed a paragraph inside the huge red circle to talk directly about her and that I am not a bot just welcoming someone and promoting my stuff. I also talk with people on a personal level so they can feel good and know they got my support. Obviously the smaller red circle near the beginning of the paragraph is the name of the user here I edit this template to.
And below my comment, she responded. Now do not expect everyone to respond to you, some may have many people welcoming the same person as well. But notice in that post that many do not put too much effort in responding to what she wrote and communicate with them on a personal level.
VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW AS A NEW STEEMIAN: If you want to build a quality following on Steemit, be sure to connect with steemians in a way that they know that you really care for what you have to say. Put effort on your response and there will be a high chance that he/she will remember to get back to you.
Now let me address a few issues with my Steemit Discord Servers I noticed, I will list them out to make them as simple to understand as possible:
1.) First of all I would like to say thanks to 
WE REALLY CAN USE MORE PEOPLE ON THIS SERVER LIKE
The thing is, that we are a community and I believe the reason why over 98% of the members here does not participate much in this server is because rather they have busy lives, too many discord servers to keep in track in or just forgot it exists. I understand that.
The reason why I am addressing this is because any new members who comes to this server, if they see a lot of members and no activity, they will not feel motivated to join most likely and I am not always there to welcome everyone right away.
2.) Seems that most of the time, only the #upvote channel is being used to get a worthless $0.00001 upvote bot to upvote a post. Its good that there is daily activity there either ways but I do not see value getting a crappy upvote bot named Caps to upvote your post over connecting with REAL people that may support you in the long run giving you greater upvote value. Its good to invest in individuals that will also invest in you as well. Both parties benefits.
3.) Similiar to No. 2 but 98% of all the activities in the Steemit Promo Discord Server is just posting links on #intro-steem-posts and #steem-community-posts . I do see a lot of great posts posted on these channel and I even read some of them but posting links is not all this server is for. There are chat channels too where we can all communicate rather in English and Spanish (since I notice a lot of Venezuelans using Discord and I also know spanish since I am from PR so I can communicate in both languages) and get to know other steemians.
4.) PLEASE give us suggestions to improve this server... We need more people who can suggest us how to improve this server. I remember 
Anyways, I am gonna stop here since I think I addressed the main issues with my Promo Server. There was more activity yesterday between 
We gotta treat every member here as a great asset to invest ourselves in because in the long run, they will very likely invest in you as well so this community as a whole can grow. I know we can do it!
Feel free to share this link with any steemians you welcome or want to bring in this server: https://discord.gg/7WeM9Qj I cannot do this alone, do not depend on me to do everything in this server. I have a life too xD Work, church, friends, youtube, steemit, etc.
With you helping a little bit and if everyone on the server contributes a bit every now and then, the better the activity rate will be in this server. With your help, we can make this Discord server one of the best Steemit Discord Servers for promotion and community out there!!
Sorry if this post is long but if you manage to read until this and find value in this information. Please give this post an upvote, comment below your thoughts on this and resteem this so more people can notice this.
I am working hard to create a healthy, active steemian community because I highly believe Steemit has great potential to be the next big social media platform that can be mass adopted in a few years due to the fact that you literally get paid for posting blogs. Steemit still has a lot to fix before making it big, like convenience and a solid notification system so their posts can have a higher chance for exposure to their followers.
So until next time guys... I may post a blog or two weekly for now as I am still technically on hiatus mode xD But I will be back here soon!
Take care, God Bless and stay cool! Bai bai!! :D
