A month ago I decided to join the Zealy Campaign, frankly, it took a lot of convincing. I was worried that adding the campaign to my schedule would be draining for me and that I may not be able to keep up. Surprisingly I have been able to keep up.
Before starting the challenge I had been inactive on hive for a while, so it was a good opportunity to get back into doing something I loved at some point about a year ago. Joining the Zealy campaign meant I had to be active in X too which was a welcome addition since I haven't always been active there.
I have experienced some growth in my X account this last month, all things considered. But the growth I want to talk more about is the exposure I got, I actually spoke on a space 3 times! Left a comment on a random web3 space and the comment was acknowledged!
This may not seem like a big deal to others but it is a big deal to me. I have always had social anxiety which is hard to believe since I am someone who knows how to stand up for herself when the need arises. But speaking to the public has never been my best suit.
The first time I took the mic at that VSC space. It was so nerve-racking I almost lost my voice at some point but I kept going and then the second time I did it, it was nerve-racking but not as the first and the third time felt a whole lot better.
I have always been the type to mind my business so I rarely leave comments on other people's thoughts but I put myself out there this last month and it was surprising how welcoming people can be to honest opinions.
There is not much I would have done differently this month but one thing I've learned is that it always pays to put yourself out there. Even when you don't get a positive response, it builds character.
I did get a few new followers on my account, I started with barely 400 followers and now I have over 500 followers! and also increased engagement which is a plus too. What Inleo and Zealy are doing with this campaign is great. It encourages people like myself to put themselves out there and engage with people both in the same space and outside the space. It's been a wonderful experience.
Thanks for stopping by❤️
