Very good job, good influence!

Good article idea. What about a monthly post of the top Steemit users that are under a month old? aka from the past month. What do you think?

Great idea!

Thanks Jerry. FYI You are the person who brought Steemit to my attention.

I also wrote a post about another idea that could help transfer more users over to Steemit from old abandoned social media accounts at https://steemit.com/steemit/@davidalexander/an-idea-to-get-more-users-on-steemit Might be up your street. Especially if you remember when everyone left Digg for Reddit.

Thank you @jerrybanfield. I am less than a week old on steemit and this article is a real motivation for me. Congratulations on your success.

Please jeery i m ur youtube and facebook follower and i came to know steemit from you. .. pls upvote me. . . . i m new here. . pls. . .

Begging is not the way to go dude. No one likes that.

Also, you should probably try and spell Jerry's name right if you want him to upvote your comment.

You are so right @choogirl ... even "spelled his name wrong", so funny haha

That's right guys. Thanks for warning him. Begging isn't a way to go for sure here.
And you @rohan1 should thank them for not flagging you.
Please go and read this article about What NOT to do on Steemit by @allasyummyfood.

And back to this article I am so grateful for variety of topic ( from thing about steemit, crypto and all kinds of tutorials ) that @jerrybanfield covers here and if I may suggest something. Articles about reflections on the things of everyday life would be a great addition to his work. Like for example the one that he did in a hotel meeting room in MI and shared no YT some time ago.

Rohan you are as worthy of love and upvotes as the rest of us. Ask as an equal and I think you will get more votes!

Wow !! Thats a wonderful milestone , worth celebrating.

Congratulations @jerrybanfield . Super impressive and very motivational. Also thanks for sharing your ideas on how you made it happen.

Thank you bigpanda!

Can I join you on the top @jerrybanfield ? I was very excited when you started posting on SteemIt. I remember when your feed was empty. Keep up the good lessons and keep up helping the minnows!

It feels the same way at the top as it did when I just joined. In fact the hope of making it to the top might have made it better. Now I still struggle to feel worthy some days without the hope that going any higher as an author will change it!

Well you should enjoy the success you are having and appreciate that everyday. Very few have what you do. Dont ever take it for granted, cuz when you do.. you loose it. I know you dont ever do so b/c of how you keep giving back. Keep it up.

Way to knock it out of the park @jerrybanfield. Fantastic results, a proper reward for all of your efforts. I'm sorry I don't comment often enough. Like you, I am setting a goal to be more diligent in commenting and better responding to my followers. STEEM ON!!

We know you've been busy @gringalicious 😋💛... you are one of my FAV STEEMIANS! Mad Respect!

@gringalicious honored you took the time to comment here and share that you have the same struggle! I just followed you!

This means a lot to us little guys, gringalicious and jerry. I am struck by how few people are followed by the big guys and how little interaction commenting on their posts generates. The best I can usually hope for is a reply from another commenter as opposed to getting one from the author of the post.

I am a minnow sucked in by the giant reach of jerry and I am very happy to be here [except for the nagging unfinished udemy course I was working on]. Any help you big guys offer is much appreciated by those of us who are new and confused.

Personally, I find better results by posting comments on the steemers who are below 65. I'm making 1 or 2 posts a day and spending the rest of my time on comments and replies with uneven results. But I am still swimming and intend to continue no matter what.

Jerry got me to steemit and the alexa ranking and interaction keep me :)

The main thing I can tell you @fitinfun is to continue 'swimming', be persistent and consistent and it will come around. @jerrybanfield is not your average newcomer, not to diminish his hard work by any means, but his results are helped greatly by years of previous work on other platforms. I encourage you to back and look through my blog and you'll see a struggle for many months. Don't give up. STEEM ON!!

Thank you! I will look for sure. I'm always up for a struggle :)

You are correct that jerry is one in a million and I follow him to many places. I like his optimism and constant effort. Very inspiring and I have no intention of giving up. My first month on steemit equals three months of my book sales at Amazon, so I'm hooked!

Watching how far you have come on steemit in such little, and early stages is second to none. Dont let the haters hate! Keep doing what ya doing. JerryBOMBfeild Lol!

I love your post jerry and I followed you an youtube and steemit and i just started today can i get a shout out and guys follow me on steemit on tomohawk429

Thank you for your words of encouragement because it is so easy for me to get lost in what I could do better!

No problem jerry. :)

congratulations. You deserve it, you have great content!
keep it up

Congratulation on your success man. You inspire us as young bloggers.. since you have 6 years blogging experience the topic I would like you to post about is How to build a following online?

Added to my ideas for posts! Thank for!

DAYYYUM!!!!! NICE stuff Jerry! Top 10! Woot Woot! :D

And you deserved it! Cogratulations!

Well deserved sir. Good insightful posts! Keep it up.

I will thank you!

You deserve so @jerrybanfield! keep up doing the good work!

CONGRATULATIONS!! Keep going man! All the way to the top! Much love

Congratulations jerry

great job, congratulations @jerrybanfield !!

Congratulation jerry ;)

Amazing job on all of your success here on Steemit @jerrybanfield

You have truly inspired me and now a lot of my own followers are asking me about steemit! I am gaining more and more followers everyday and my steem account has increased from $2,600 value to now over $3,000 in just one week. Please keep posting here on Steemit and sharing your knowledge! @joeparys

Thank you Joe for joining us here and commenting on every post!

Jerry, You do a great job with your followers. Your posts have the most quality content of all the other Authors I have seen on Steemit. Thanks so Much!!

Thank you!

Maybe you know a better way of getting attention to this important post of me:
https://steemit.com/life/@mergesort/my-proposal-invite-charity-organizations-to-steemit-to-increase-their-donations

I am trying for days to reach somebody as you can read in my progress report:

https://steemit.com/steemitforest/@mergesort/steem-forest-progress-report-1-my-continued-quest-to-reach-anyone

Is there any way i can improve to make this project happen? Thank you.

SWEET! I'm #6636....only 6627 people behind you ;D

I'm especially proud of the awesome curation rewards I have...still not sure what it means, but I suppose the higher the better!

Check out my latest post: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@bitbybit/attention-coinbase-users-if-you-hold-btc-in-coinbase-read-this-now!

You got this... I see you ranking higher everyday :)

@stackin, you are a Steem Boss. I love how you pump up everyone around you! Way to spread the good vibes!

People like you pump me up! :)

Thanks, man!

Haha @bitbybit! Yes, some of us are a little behind Jerry. But like your name says...bit...by...bit ;) Steem on!

You nailed it. One by one, day by day, bit by bit. BOOM!

If we had follower engagement scores I bet the numbers would be reversed!

Congrats sir @jerrybanfield.. i have found this wonderful platform because of you i stumble on one of your video in youtube and i get interested, so happy to be part of this wonderful community. Thank you so much. If its ok for you to upvoted my post https://steemit.com/life/@jakebuensalida/homeless-boy thank you sir

I think your account has also been one of the fastest to grow to the top

I think you are right it has been a disaster managing it!

Put your seatbelt on kids its just the beginning :)

@jerrybanfield I have a gift card account on steemit and if you can think of any business ideas that would be able to make enough on post to cover the cost of the gift cards that would be sweet!

I am just trying to find a way that I can better connect with helping the pain points of Steemit.
Best,
Isaac

I am thinking there might be a better way?

I really want to find ways to add value so those that have steem can turn it into income directly from the platform.

SO diplomatic!

Yooo @jerrybanfield, I'm Very Grateful that you introduced me to Steemit from Youtube 2 months ago. I've been followed you for a very long time.

You are totally correct about the time and effort that it takes to respond to the followers and I'm becoming better everyday in doing so.

So I went to steamwhales and had to check out my stats the last 30 days, not to shabby...

Ranked #186 in 30 days for posting rewards. I will be working harder and faster in the next few months to bust out better content.

Thanks Bossman for what you all do here for the Steemit Community 😎

https://steemitimages.com/DQmbg7tBc97o862xDHQDXkht9kbygyHzYD18L8aLVWBQLLR/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.11.03%20PM.jpg#ranked

That's cool @stackin. I haven't stalked you on steemwhales in a while so I'm glad you're doing well. 😂

You work just as hard as Jerry, that's for sure. Plus noobs have to remember you guys already put in a lot of hard work on social media BEFORE getting to steemit so it makes sense you're more successful here right off the bat. It's pretty rare (and unrealistic) to go from no following to superstar overnight.

I seen you "put the work in" on steemit also @choogirl, you're doing awesome. I think you was one of the first people I followed on steemit 😋💕. I plan to go 10X from now on and helping more people :)

Aw thanks. I'm trying.

Nice work Charles thank you for sharing where you are at today and giving 100 posts a day to our community!

It was no easy task but the community needed it. Appppresh @jerrybanfield!

AMAZING JOB @jerrybanfield like always .. i will be happy to share with steemians the best 6 steps to invest in cryptocurrencies https://steemit.com/cryptocurrencies/@upbuzz/the-most-successful-6-steps-to-invest-in-digital-currencies

Thanks for the info!

@jerrybanfield Congratulations !! Soon I Believe you'll be on top. I started using Steemit after watching his videos on youtube. You're a great guy. Leep it up :)

I love the time then the upvote had 100% power now it's just only 0.5/1% what's happened

What do you mean, I don't understand the 0.5/1%?

[IMAGE: https://steemitimages.com/DQmX5X7kZkZ2Be7P7enQj9qf7C1ZoK8Hy7UgkgtkpaLnxGX/image.png]

Congratulations @jerrybanfield.. you truly deserve that... i can even see you in the top 3 within the nextfew months. Good Luck!

Thank you hms818 for you consistent helpful comments on each post!

This is very motivating to keep working on steemit =) I will definitely follow you so I can learn from a very good steemian :D
I've been here just for a week and I'm still in the path to realize what exactly I should be posting about, I don't want to follow a trend only because it's profitable, I wan't to share what I like and what I can help with because is good for the community and would be good for me in return.
Isn't that what steemit is about after all? :D

Yes!

Seems like you worked haqrd for it and set a good example for us all. Congrats Jerry.

meep

Congrats! You definitely belong on the Top Ten List... you've brought so much great content here to Steemit. Thank you, I really appreciate your excellent work!!

Thanks again Jerry... I continue to follow and love your posts. I have upvoted resteemed and hit you with a bonus from my favorite bot @treeplanter

How did you get this bot @treeplanter? What does it do?

Its amazing to see you on top ten list in short time. I only wish you good luck and keep doing the good work

Congrats Jerry i just watched your YouTube vid where you analysed your first 32 days. So crazy and totally agree with you how amazing steem is! By the way it's nice to post some things of family too 😜
Cheers mate keep it up 👍👍
@ch00fy - foodie 👨‍🍳

Thank you!

Your posts are awesome. They are MULTI-Dimensional. Not JUST Family, Not JUST Blogging. Not JUST Cryptos. You are covering a W I D E range of topics.
Posting in READABLE TEXT for those not watching videos, but scanning the text is also a BIG BONUS.

Thank you for helping me remember what I do that is worthwhile because it is easy for me to forget!

So, what do you think is the best way to build up a good steemit acount? How to get a lot of followers if you have none? I'm new at this thing and hope to make a living out of this.... I've already made a feel posts but still getting to know how to do it right.

Bring followers from everywhere else! I will write a more detailed post on this soon!

Congratulation @jerrybanfield being the top TEN authors and being top ambassador for steemit. Keep up the hard work and help us with such useful infos. Resteemed :)

Thank you!

i love your style and flair. keep it up man.

Jerry is one of those examples how to make valuable conntent to build the community.
Like many I also started using Steemit after watching his videos on youtube.
I am very excited about the future of steemit.
Don´t stop to add value to steemit

Good news jerry. Steemit is an awesome platform and i really appreciate your hard work which is really paying off for you. Have no doubt that those who remain steadfast will also reap the benefit.

Thank you!

@jerrybanfield - Well a massive congratulations to you! That is a huge achievement in ranking and no easy feat as I am discovering. Getting to where you are now has clearly taken bucket loads of hard work and even more buckets of dedication. I think many people are of the perspective that when you join steemit, everything is simply going to fall into your lap... which is absolutely not the case.

I have been here for just over a month and have already dedicated a huge amount of energy into what I post as well as in the engagement with the people who have in fact shown an interest in what I write. Yes, I do have some posts whoch are just for fun, but for the most part, all of them have had hours dedicated to their compilation in the hopes that it will resonate with the people who have chosen to follow me on my Steemit journey.

I agree with you wholeheartedly about the engagement aspect. I think if you want to build a genuine following and have relationships on this platform that are actually sustainable then you absolutely must dedicate a good portion of your time to showing those REAL people, the appreciation they deserve for what they have put forward.

I really do enjoy this platform and I am, without question, in it for the long haul.

I have followed you since the get go as well as some of the other big guns but there are a few names on that list that I had not heard of until now... including the number 1 on that list @papa-pepper ... so definitely going to check that out now too 👊

I really enjoy your posts.... I always walk away having learnt something new. So thanks for that 😁👍

Jaynie you're welcome and thank you for sharing your experience building up your own account on Steemit because many other readers would like to learn more about how to do it!

@jerrybanfield You doing very good job! Keep it up! I watch your vids every day! Great information!

I do the same, I learn so much from this guy!

You're doing a pretty good job so far @jerrybanfield but I'd hate to break it to you, you're not helping your followers back. I have heard from many people and It's also my personal opinion that You are so busy in making posts steemit, that you don't even read your comments and never try to upvote your followers on a regular basis. If I talk about me, I am following you since I have made my account on steemit and I regularly read yours posts and get benefited by it, for that a very thanks to you, but not even once I got my comment upvoted or even a reply.
You're doing a great job out there for your followers by making them aware about the crypto's and steemit but you what you have to first, is to help your followers growing. Now you have become a witness for steemit, tell me how does it benefit us? I guess for a minnow and more others who have voted for you, we got nothing from.
I just want to say to you that I highly respect you and your work but let's say if you don't post for a day on steemit and instead you post replies to your followers, upvote their comments, visit their profile and follow them back, would it be a loss for you? You have made enough money, I highly appreciate it, please try to give now. Because you'll recieve only when you;ll give.
You know what the irony is, I believe you have never read even one post from a minnow like me. Steemit is here for sharing, I respect it that's why I am here and you should too.
It's just a suggestion my friend and I big thumbs up for your work and I am very thankful for the knowledge you have shared with us .

Would you help me to be the first official "follower stealer" on the Steem block-chain? Could you follow me instead of @jerrybanfield?

I reply to ALL comments on my posts and I even upvote them all! Sometimes I'll even throw in a surprise 100% upvote!

Could you help me to be better than @jerrybanfield? Would you help me at this attempt to steal a follower?

Sincerely,
James Brown

;)

You are welcome to join James for a high quality following experience!

I'm already in, bro.

And I am pleased to the high seas!

James! This feels like a weird comment dude!
I guess you are joking here or something!

And let me just say that right now you only have 600 follower so yes you probably can and will respond to people's comments.. But what if everyone takes you up on this and you end up with 5000 followers and 5000 comments? Are you then still going to hold up your promise? Are you even going to be able to upvote everything without running out of power after the first 20?

Ok im going to follow you now and see ;-) I wont stop following Jerry though because i have two eyes!
Om

Of course it was a joke... I mean...coo-mun....coo-muin man!

As to the rest of your scribbles. No one has ever got anywhere near 1000 comments, let alone 5000. If I were making $500 to $1000 per post, I might not consider it such a downer to respond to 200 or so comments, and the upvoting part is easily handled by the voting slider.

I can give out 100 votes at 1% to equal just one 100% vote, ya see? Easy peasy, easy to please ye.

That way, you make 10 plus cents for minimal effort, more than you're going to get from any minnow upvote, and I get to save my voting power. Win, win! Where's the chicken din?

you are a funny dude, dude..
im following you.. Very curious where you will take us ;-!
;-)

to the edge of nowhere ;)

That's really a great reply. That's exactly what I was trying to say. And everyone is calling me a weird guy. I mean come on, just giving an 'asked' opinion got considered a weird thing.
Use common sense Steemians.

@jamesbrown @eco-alex
The reason @jerrybanfield can't reply to all comments is because he is not full time on Steemit, he has several other ventures and ways of making money including YouTube and his FB group (and probably some others too).

I am full time on Steemit and just like @jamesbrown I too am upvoting all contructive comments on my blogs. It's the very least a dolphin can do and I reckon the average wale should also spend less time posting content and more time upvoting and responding to comments.
Steemit is a community where you connect with people, not just a news website where you can make money.

Yes, I'm aware that he's a busy man, and I'm not going to pretend to know how much "free time" he has to offer this type of engagement.

What I do know is that I, personally, plan out everything in my life so that I can fulfill my core values, second to second, day to day. I'd never allow myself to get to a point that I don't have enough time to hit on everything that's valuable to me.

Does this mean that it'll never get to a point that I won't respond to each and every (non-obvious-spam) comment within my posts AND that I'll never NOT upvote every (non-obvious-spam) comment? Sure, for me it does, because I learned early on in my ventures with trying to build rep, both within Steemit and in the "outside world", that the process sucks hard and that it only hurts your chances of keeping with the battle when your efforts go unnoticed.

For someone else, who doesn't have a similar perspective to myself or hold the same values dear to his/ her self, it may not be such a big deal to shift all or most of their focus away from the personable aspect(s) to the business, and I'm fine with that.

I'd say that no damage is done, but that isn't really true. As I alluded earlier, no engagement leads to a slow and steady death (of interest and, if a community wide issue, likely, eventually, death to the platform).

Great comment, upvoted with 100% voting power.

I fully agree and hold the same principles as you when it comes to my Steemit followers. Let us both thrive on together @jamesbrown!

Yes, let's grow a community of active people, focused on providing real value!

Thanks for the compliment and gesture, btw.

You're welcome and I look forward to reading your posts, especially after all our recent interactions.

Well, first of all nice to meet you sir @jamesbrown . I am here on steemit to gain some knowledge and real world skils. If I get those from you, then I'd love to follow you.
I love your approach by the way.
By the way for the record, @jerrybanfield does a really good job here. I repsect him for his work. I just expressed my little opinion which I guess he welcomed with open hearts.
Nice to meet you too sir @jamesbrown

> I am here on steemit to gain some knowledge and real world skils. If I get those from you, then I'd love to follow you.

You're doing it the right way, bro.

> By the way for the record, @jerrybanfield does a really good job here. I repsect him for his work.

I agree. Jerry is a very passionate, hard working man with something valuable to offer this platform. I think that's pretty obvious by looking at his post reward history.

> Nice to meet you too sir @jamesbrown

Likewise :)

I can be your follower, even though Im just a minnow. Do you still want me to follow you?

Everyone is welcome to follow. What kind of question is that?

Read my stuff if you like it. Don't read it if you don't. Pretty simple, is it not?

Yes, pretty simple.

I can follow both. I have time for reading and commenting both.

So followed :)

Schweet!

You're right I have not upvoted any of the blog posts you have made! If you add all the comments I have voted up that you have made, I would be one of your top 30 or so upvoters this month in terms of payout. The problem is voting up a comment is hard to see on Steemit unless you check every individual reward which I certainly do not do. Here are the comments I read of yours and voted up in the last three weeks.

First of all, A big thanks for commenting on my reply. It's like a dream come true . :)
I love your work sir and I get highly motivated from what you do here. I learned a lot from you and your videos on youtube. Actually I didn't know you before you came to steemit. It's only after your arrival on steemit, I get to know you and I watched most of your videos ever since. I love your work, your ideas, your way of interaction and your love for crypto's and steemit.
What I really write is what you asked from your followers in one of your previous posts.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@jerrybanfield/i-need-help-1500257345-464134

You needed your help ofr making your steemit experiences better and you wanted our opinions. So, here it was my opinion. It was not meant to hurt anyone. I love you brother and I don't do criticism. I just expressed my personal opinion and Yeah I know you're too busy and that should be really good.
What I am saying is just to make good relationship with your followers. That's it. And that could be done by replying to your posts, answering their queries and upvoting their comments or read their posts on their profile. If you're super busy then I get it. But what I just said is to post only once a day and intracts yor followers on the day when you're super busy. You can post as many time as you want if you're not busy plus you can interacts with your followers as well.
Although it is just my opinion. If you get hurt in any sense then I am so sorry brother.
You asked for our opinion and so I gave you.
And thanks a lot for those replies. I am highly grateful for those.

@cryptonet, I think @jerrybanfield has made it clear that he aims to change his ways now and I'm sure he will because people can always call him out on it if he doesn't thanks to blockchain technology and the way Steemit works! :)

I love and am so sure of Steemit that I powered up over 3000 USD worth of Steem and this is my goal for the next 36 days (hint: it involves giving back most of the money I earn through authoring posts back to my readers).

I am not blaming him for anything my friend @blockchainttmft. He just asked for an opinion and I just gave it to him. I know most of the people doesn't say this because they would fear what people would think of them. But I had the courage to say this to him. And he accpeted that. there's no big deal in this. I love his work and I respect him a lot. Suggestion are given for improvement not for criticism.
Anyways I'd love to know about your blog . you seems like a good man .

@cryptonet Sure feel free to read my blog then. I'm arguably most proud of this recent campaign I started because I have been getting 20 new followers a day since it started while simultaneously getting many more constructive and engaging comments.

Cryptonet, i understand what you are saying in theory, but also i think that this comment is a bit unfair. To say Jerry is not helping his followers back enough I think ignores nearly all the posts that he has made, and indeed many comments too. Let's be honest, there is NO way that one man can read or respond to even 10% of what comes his way. I think it's great that he as opened up and given more people the chance to be noticed and appreciated.

People who are so keen to try to succeed can easily fall into the trap of being critical . If i learned one thing its that people do love to complain and find issues with others because we feel unheard or just trapped in a situation and our only hope seems to be pinned on one person or one idea. I think we have to accept that some of us will be noticed more than others, and if we also want to succeed then we have to do the ground work. It may take a lot if time, a lot of effort, and even seem totally futile, but it is our own responsibility to succeed and not others to take us there. What comes by grace is a great gift, but we should not expect it.

I am not sayin that he's not helping his followers. My first line was that- he was doing an excellent job for his followers. But apart from posting, you have to be quite interactive with your followers. Like I do have 414 followers now and I do interact them on my every single post. That's how Steemit work and that should Everyone follows it. Yeah I agree with your fact that some of us get more noticed than others but those people should really keep interacting with all thier people or followers.
Let's just say You are extemely busy and you're very famous youtuber, If you come on steemit and this community would welcome with open heart and so do I, but now you have give time here as well. You have to interact your followers here also because may be some of them won't know you at all and they have to understand you and your personality.
If you're extremely busy, instead to two posts per day just write one post and reply to your followers comment with full enthusiasm. This looks like a better choice.
I am not dissrespecting anyone here. I am a huge fan of @jerrybanfield and I love him for his work. He always asked for his followers opinions in his posts, so I gave mine.
I am so sorry if anyone gets hurt, Forgive me If I did anything wrong.
But to be clear, I love @jerrybanfield work and I am his top follower :)
Sorry to you too @eco-alex if it hurts you . But please try to understand it, it was just an advice.

thanks for a nice response.. i do understand what you say..
i guess as a wise man once said:

"we can please some of the people some of the time,
but we cant please all the people all of the time"

its good you give your opinion.. That is after all what is being asked.
thanks!

You're welcome. I just cleared my intention otherwise people are like taking me as a weird guy. Lol . Thanks for understanding :)

@eco-alex If Steemit was @jerrybanfield 's only way of making money, he would have time and be incentivized to read substantially more comments than he is reading now. Jerry is a busy guy :)

@cryptonet I have over 2700 SP and I upvoted you with 100% of my slider voting power. The reason I did this is because I am a HUGE fan of constructive comments and I upvote ALL constructive comments from my followers. You can find out about how much I upvote all the comments from my readers here.

Steem on @cryptonet!

PS. @jerrybanfield I didn't even bother commenting on your posts up until now because I was aware you were not responding to/reading them most of the time. That's why I'm thrilled to hear you want to give more back to the community which helped you grow, looking forward to commenting on your articles more often now, including answering questions from people with less experience than me. Great initiative Jerry!

Hi

slider voting power. what is that

Loved your post! Keep doing these!

Keep up the good work jerry!

You did a great job, you know how to handle your Steemit very well, thanks for sharing that valuable information with us and congratulations for your 9th position.

Thanks @jerrybanfield I've started to use Steemit after I saw your youtube videos. So, you've inspired me and I bring in steemit by @bozor2 my shop online http://www.sexyshopmoncheri.com to advirtes my items. And then I have open a personal account @paolonews where i will start to post soon all kind of tech news..Thank you to share your knowledge and contents..

That is cool, I was going to use steemit to advertise somethings, but I decided against it. I like focusing on content creation, it is funner for me.

Jerry, you are really "killing" it here on Steemit in such a short time. Congrats.

Thank you team101!

Just started reading your posts today and already a big fan. Searched for a couple of different topics and in at least two of them, your posts were the most helpful.

Thank you for reading with me today and motivating me to keep writing more!

Congrats on entering the top 10! You deserve it, you really do!
I like the approach you forward here. It's not feasible to respond to all. You should sacrifice a little time for it though, and not just rely on secondhand curation. You know we readers appreciate it ;)

You're right and I feel better about the time I take to do it also!

Congrats @jerrybanfield! No matter you are at no # 9, but you got the 2nd highest followers in numbers :) Upvoted

Thanks Jerry, I am really enjoying your posts and it is great to see you are moving up quickly. Its great to see good content rewarded. All the Best - Dev

very good job, I am looking forward to seeing you and everyone at the local meetup you are working on. I am flying to San Fran in a few days and will be back in a week, so please keep me up to date on the date and times of the meetings. I also live near St pete, closer to Clearwater

Great I hope you can join us in August for the meet up! I will post an update soon!

I am going to San Fran in a few days and be back aug 5th , will look for it, and BTW panera Bread locations might be good for this

Way to share the love and give people some great tips on how to do the same.

I'm coming to Steemit from Google Plus where after several years I have built almost 50,000 followers for my science, tech, engineering and maths posts. I don't think I'll be able to replicate that here - the metaphores of G+ "collection" and Steemit author simply don't translate. A collection lets someone follow me for a narrowly targets set of posts, they can follow just my STEM stuff but not my outspoken politics or Caturday posts.

@jerrybanfield - do you feel constrained in the topics you post about or do you post just whatever you want and assume those that follow you will just figure it out?

Maybe a half-way house would be if Steemit let me follow an author and then filter by a set of Steemit tags?

Congrats on your Google plus experience because I had no luck there! I post whatever I want after initially feeling constrained. I am even planning some nsfw posts soon!

NSFW - well that's an area where I think Steemit got it right with the NSFW display setting. I follow some tattoo-centric profiles on G+ and it's always a bit awkward if I head over to G+ at lunch and some intricately decorated body parts show up in my feed. They don't technically allow nudity, but you'd be surprised how frequently rules don't exactly work as expected. Better to let posters self-declare IMO. Good luck with your experiment.

I am very glad that you are going to focus on some comments, I am one of the people that were commenting and did not get a response from you. I am in no way mad about it I just figured your work load is high that there would be no way you can get back to a little fish like me. what I would like to do is help you out with something, but I don't know what you help with and if I am in anyway qualified to do what you need. I know that you are, and I have commented this before, going to galvanize Steemit. You are the one that will bring it into the mainstream, and when I tell people about steemit I use you as the go to. I tell them look up @jerrybanfield if you want to learn about steemit. I guess that is one thing I already do for you is I promote your work, by word of mouth and on all platforms. Please comment something small to let me know that you got this comment. No matter what I will still promote your work cause you do such a wonderful job of explaining things. Thank you.

@tiandao thank you for continuing to try because here is a response! What helps me a lot is responding to comments by others because I can easily offer an upvote where your comment covers what I would like to have said! See comments by others here in response as an example!

OK I will help you with that, it would be an honor! Thank you for your response, and no reply is needed for this comment. I know you are busy.

lovely @jerrybanfield. If not for you in Youtube, i probably wouldnt be here! Thanks for that

Same here, his efforts i'm sure have brought so many people to Steemit!

Yes, @jerrybanfield, it does indeed feel great to give an upvote! I think it's my favorite part about Steemit. I can feel like a boss, like tossing money in the air for others to catch (even if it's only pennies, it's still exciting!) I like your concept of having others help you with responding to posts. Increases the unity and "wiki" feeling of the community, as well as helping you and others out. Very wise! Well done!

Thank you Denise!

Upvotable

As you said, if you submit your own post, you won't earn the finders fee ;)
I spent all night on this post and sadly got 1 cent.

Thank you aircoin because you are exactly who I am hoping to help! You are making a great effort for us and we appreciate your posts. I upvoted the post you linked to and already upvoted the last one after including you in one of the upvotable posts!

Congratulations, keep up the great work.)
I believe it's not easy at all to do what you do.
You're just great at what you do and the fun part is ; you are paid for doing what you love.

I was thinking the same thing, it has to hard as hell to keep the pace he does. He inspires me to work harder!

An awesome article Jerry. Keep it up mate!

Congratulations Jerry and much deserved. You've brought tremendous value to the platform. One thing I always know when I'm reading one of your posts or watching one of your videos is it will be well thought out and it will be geared towards being the solution to a problem. I feel I will walk away with some new knowledge that has value, and if I'm going to invest my time in something, I need to gain something in return. You provide that. Cheers!

Thank you for helping me see the value you get out of posts because it is easy for me to take everything I do for granted and obsess over what I can improve!

jerry u are doing a great job.. I would love to hear more about how you will be helping out as a witness and what expertise you bring to the table. Thanks for really working hard on this platform and keeping the faith.

Thank you danlupi! I will make a new witness post as soon as I can to explain more!

Content creators, especially quality content creators, are diamonds for our Internet society.

Yes!

Really your posts are very good ... I liked the previous one that you did with respect to the parents ... I follow you and I comment you but I think you do not read me ... but it does not matter because your posts are interesting and add ... .that's why I think you deserve to win what you earn ... I did post with content ... in my language (spanish) ... and I have not really received many upvotes...I see that many people give upvotes such as the photo of a hamster or something without content only because it is published by a whale...But I must admit that it is not your case ... you deserve every upvote

He is a busy bee that's for sure, I also see what you are saying about all the people getting up votes for not much. Jerry works his but off trying to provide superior content, this is also why I use him as my example when I try to bring people to Steemit. He genuinely wants to make Steemit better!

Is just what I wanted to say ... they are very good @jerrybanfield post ...

We are all making moves together!

i love your posts. i follow you on youtube and i have learned a lot from you.
Thankyou so much for your effort!

I have learned quite a bit from him as well, when I am trying to get people to Steemit I use jerry as the example.

Congratulations on a great achievement Jerry. You should really be proud of yourself. Not only are you very popular, but you also manage to consistently write genuinely amazing posts on a very wide range of topics.. I often scan my feeds and new posts and even the trending and hot pages but rarely find content that peeks my interest.. You, on the other hand, always seem to write about things that are really interesting to me.. So im very happy for you!

For your next upvote list i would like to share a short story that I think is so important to share. I have been dealing with quite a difficult trolling situation this last week, and through that I learned a lot about compassion for trolls... to the extent that I don't really think that the term 'troll' is really even a fair or compassionate one. Please do have a read!

https://steemit.com/steemit/@eco-alex/lessons-in-compassion-dealing-with-the-worst-trolling-ever

I read this post it was wonderful, thank you for sharing it. I have had to do what you have done, but not on steemit. I have had to find compassion for those that are just not going to do it for me. I know how it feels as well, it sometimes can feel like you are giving in. This is not the case, you are just rising above the situation, and moving forward!

thank you..im glad you read this.. and im glad you found compassion for people.. even if they were making your life a misery.

Yes we are not only rising above the situation but also healing it. After i posted a compassionate reply to the offenders crazy comments all the madness suddenly stopped (to me not to others).. I just told him i felt sorry him and wished he would have a better life. It was like a mgic wand! Compassion leads to miracles,, ive seen that time and time again!

You are exactly right, it is amazing! I did not think about the part of healing it, thank you for bringing that to my attention. I am proud to have met such a person as you here on steemit!

humbled

@jerrybanfield how can i become like you? I am all ears...

Top 10 out of 20,000 daily active users... pretty impressive!

As a Steemit author it is our social responsibility to upvote others post and encourage them else we will lose the shine @jerrybanfield , @cryptonet

Well done Jerry, but I saw some of the posts from those guys above you, I found there posts not so good than your posts. I do not know what is the logic in their posts that makes them up on the list.

They have also been on steemit for much longer, at least that is what I am guessing. Jerry has only been on Steemit for 2 months.

Hi @jerrybanfield It's look like I am too late to comment on your post.I am a big follower of your youtube channel,I recently joint steemit by watching your youtube video,to be honest with you I was expecting to see you in the top 10 list when I saw the Title of this post!

Congratulations @jerrybanfield!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:

• Comments - Ranked 5 with 148 comments

I am new in steemit only 7days.
You're doing a pretty good job so far @jerrybanfield
please give me some tips how can i increase my upvote .which post is good for steem?thanks .i follow you

He is the guy I recommend to people that I talk about Steemit to. I send all newbies his way, he explains this whole thing like non other!

Hey Jerry!

I took one of your courses on Youtube and am also a friend of Tomas George who recommended me to get a Steemit account.

I have followed and look forward to your future posts!

I did not know he has courses! What does he teach?

about cryptocurrecies and how to get more proficient with Steemit. Lots of good stuff @itandao !

Cool, Thank you!

Hey @tiandao,

He was one of the top course providers on Udemy Ethical Hacking, Google Adwords, Facebook Ads etc.

Also at https://jerrybanfield.com/ @jerrybanfield

OK that is good to know! Thank you.

I must say, I agreed with a lot of what @cryptonet was explaining, and I can't imagine the mental pressure of having so many hearts and minds all hoping for a nod. I think the best contribution you make @jerrybanfield is just being open and honest. Even the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that come up in this sortof environment with so many people 'lossing themselves' (or perhaps the plot) as crypto blinds us. But that's why we need to talk about it so we can grow together. The rewards both social and monetary come from staying human.... in the machine. Thanks for keeping it real and sharing your successes and failures with us. I always learn something here. @ecoknowme Oh, and here is gift for anyone who wants to try this on @curie I can't get my account to work and anyone is welcome to the rewards. https://steemit.com/science/@ecoknowme/not-your-high-school-electrolysis-give-me-one-week-to-blow-your-mind If it qualifies :/

Well @jerrybanfield, you are a reason I still stay here, I am in the heaviest period in Steemit...one month here and i'm asking myself if I have something with value to share. I see a lot of successful people both old and young(in Steemit) with interesting and useful posts and a big...nothing in my brain.
Well, reading your post and looking on your videos I hope to learn and not give up so soon. Thanks for hope!

Great work @jerrybanfield67 very soon you will be in the top 5 its expected.

Wow, congrats man! Beast.

Quick question, how can you get onto that list? Is it by rewards?

Congratulations on the ranking Jerry. I just recently discovered your Youtube channel and have already learned so much from you!

WOW congratulations Jerry!!! I am so happy that you have found so much success here and reached out to others who are gaining so much from your inspiration!! :)

People need to decide if they are winners or whiners. Winners will do whatever necessary to get where they want. Whiners complain and make excuses for why they don't succeed
