Promoting Steemit, Unexpected experience

This weekend a few of us when down to Durban for the weekend to just meet up and relax with some good friends. We arrived Friday night around 12pm at the flat. The next day we just did all our usual things, swimming in the sea and so on.

As things generally go, we end up bringing extra friends and all get to know each other. Everyone asking questions about work, studies and future plans. These are questions I try to avoid as explaining what work I do creates a discussion that usually lasts really long.

So before jumping into it all let me lay out the setting for you. We (myself, brother and good friend) were invited to a afternoon lunch with our friends family. We all sat under a patio with the heat of Durban all around us. Things were getting really hot and after filling ourselves us the discussion unfolded about everyone's life.

​

After sitting there quietly, trying not to attract to much attention, I was asked the big question... SO what do you do with your life... Cold shivers run down my back (was probably a few drops of sweat) I immediately turned white in the face and thought. HOW ON EARTH am I going to answer this question.

I put on my big boy pants and started speaking mind blowing words...

Steemit, the word itself left some of them confused, the younger boys started to google it. The thought of getting payed for posting seemed to be something unheard of! After explaining the dark side of Facebook they soon realized that steemit would be a really cool option.

One comment came from the crowd before me... I feel like this is all a dream and I am going to wake up soon. I guess I explained steemit pretty good... After leaving I got a few extra contact numbers and they have also already signed up.

​

I will now be personally tutoring them in the ways of steemit and they have a challenge between them to get more money than the other.
