I have been struck down with the flu (I am someone who never gets sick... and now suddenly I'm sick last week and sick again this week) so I am stuck in bed. However, I am determined to make the most of this opportunity and invest my sick day into my blog by doing the following things:

I am going to try and take a leaf out of @Stackin's book and try and do some serious commenting today! If you read my Steemit Success Story: A Study on @Stackin you will have read that one of his ways to success in the couple of months he has been here is that he has made over 7000 posts. That is a LOT of comments. But Steemit is a social network - and that is the best way to be successful!

A lot of people worry about writing a post, and whether it will be liked or whether it will be a flop. Just write a post that makes YOU happy. I have been wanting to make a Sweet Pizza for a while...and being unwell is the perfect excuse, you know when you just want some comfort food?

Tell a friend about Steemit and get them on here. You guys will be able to support each other by upvoting, resteeming and commenting on each others content. You can have someone to chat about your latest Steemit drama with. (Like I do with my husband when I'm like "Uh-uh no she didn't! babe, LOOK at what this person just commented on my post!")

Especially if you are inviting your friends into Steemit - you want them to have the tools to succeed. I see that 'How To' posts are appreciated on here, so if you know how to do something that you want to share with others.... like 'How To: Write A Good Post', 'How To: Use iMovie' etc. then share that with your fellow Steemians.

Steemit is a social network, it can't always be a one way conversation. You need to maintain friendships. When you have a couple hundred or more followers it can be difficult to check in on them all all of the time. But being ill, and in bed is going to be the perfect excuse. It's just me and you Steemit, hiding behind my keyboard no one can see my bed hair, see my un-made up face and hear my croaky voice,and I intend to use this to my advantage and be a little social steemit butterfly today.

Competitions on Steemit are SO fun! I love entering competitions. I won one competition this week which was super exciting!

I have been meaning to order the parts I need to in order to complete my motovlog set up (a GoPro Mic Adaptor and a microphone) for almost 2 weeks now! Today I will leave myself some time to sit down and order those so that next week I can make my second motovlog.

Never made a video? Make a video! Never made a recipe post? Try that! Never written a post on your opinions about crypto? or about something you're passionate about but thought no one would enjoy? Your Steemit blog is allowed to be an experiment where you write what you enjoy and you see what works for you. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results!

Variety is the spice of life! Today I intend to get lost down a rabbit hole on Steemit searching for new people and interesting content! I am really excited to see whats out there...

I will follow you back on Twitter and Steemit, and come and upvote and comment on your Steemit posts!!
