I'm Creating A Steemit Group STEEMITREBELS

New Steemit Group - STEEMITREBELS

So I've been on Steemit going on about two weeks and so far I'm loving it. I have to give a shoutout to @brianphobos for taking me under his wing, answering a lot of questions and just supporting me as a new user on this platform.

I'm a Youtuber with about 58,000 subscribers. I'm introducing my Youtube audience and awesome Youtube community to this great platform and I want to be able to do for my Youtube friends who always support me, I want to do for them what @brianphobos has done for me.

Now even if you don't watch me or follow me on Youtube your still welcome to join the community but I want it to be essentially that, a group where we support each other, help answer each others questions, and try to help get each others content the attention it deserves.

In addition to helping promote each others content this isn't just all about getting upvotes. I know Brian and a few other people have been very helpful in answering questions I have about the platform as a new user so if you have a question and can't find an answer elsewhere feel free to ask your question and use this tag and either myself or another STEEMITREBEL will chime in and assist you.

How Does It Work?

So I'd ask that you don't use this tag on every single post you put up. I know sometimes I make a piece of content I put a lot of time and effort into and it just doesn't get attention and kind of flies under the radar. While we can't control what other people like, it is nice that at least a piece of content your proud of has a chance to succeed and doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

If you put up a post your really proud of or passionate about, and you want to make sure it gets some eyes on it use STEEMITREBELS as one of your tags. I wouldn't use it for the first tag as there's probably a more relevant and more popular category but use it as one of your tags and I'll try to make sure I support it. I want to try to form a community so everyone who's a part of this community can help support each other and so were not all out here just pandering for Whale votes and all vying for a handful of whales attention.

Anyhow, that's the group, that's how it works, and I'd invite each and every one of you who's interested to become a part of it.

That is great idea and i am going to use that hastag if i think its should have to see to more people. Not every post but some post, because due to this we get more idea and opinions of other people and we also get to know more people too. We can help each others and we can be a good friends too so you can count me in.

I'm in bro! FULL STEEM AHEAD!!!

Great idea. I was trying to think of how to implement something like this and i think you're on to something.

Hey buddy thanks, hope you decide to join us. I'm just a minnow on here so not sure how much Steem this little endeavor will pickup, pardon the pun, but hoping we can all help each other out.

I definitely will. It can be hard to get traction on here and there's been a few posts I've thought highly of and then they just fall flat with no attention. Anything that helps get eyes on us is good with me. Plus its nice yo have a group of people to ask questions to.

Damn, this was a little too late for me. I wrote a post the other day that I put a lot of effort into and it didn't get all that much attention. By the way I'm one of your subscribers on YouTube, I only heard about this website because of your videos on it!

Yeah I felt the same way about this post I put up, link below. Feel free to drop a link to the one your referring to. I don't have a lot of power on here but happy to try to help get some eyes on it.

Thanks. Here is the post: https://steemit.com/travel/@beh/what-is-a-digital-nomad
I left you an upvote on that post you linked to. Wow, you really did put a lot of effort into it. The food pics made me hungry lol

hey buddy had actually checked out your post prior to you dropping the link and i figured that article was the one. im also interested in the whole digital nomad lifestyle and movement so thought it was a great article. actually resteemed it

Thanks so much!

Omg so true what you say about what content makes $ and what doesn't. (hint pics of your cat are lucrative - other animals not so much LOL). So cool you're doing this - I didn't know about your youtube channel til now but will check it out. Would love to be a part of this! Good luck!

Admire what you are doing - but I think in order to make your life manageable - maybe feature a few Steemiens a day or a week - I guarantee you will get flooded with the tag SteemitRebels.

Hey blunder, I honestly wasn't expecting to get that much of a reaction but man was I wrong. When you say feature a new steemian how would I go about doing that? Just do a post featuing them and a piece of their work or use the tag to do it?

Haha well congrats on the reaction! Never underestimate yourself :-) I just have a feeling that it won't be long before your tag gets big, say a few hundred people using it a week. Then it will be up to you to go through each and every post, and feature a few of them. Unless you've enlisted others to help you pick the top one - that could get seriously time consuming. You know that saying about a road to hell and good intentions ? haha

What I would do (always easy to say, because I'm not the person doing it lol) - is pick a few posters using the Steemit Rebels tag per week - check out their blog, and feature them in a post, or on your show. If they have strong content that you think your followers would like.

Of course, I am making the assumption that when your tag starts to catch on - people will just put it in their posts because they see it gets a lot of views. In a perfect world - just the right amount of Steemians will use it - for a few stand out posts.

You could even do a top 5 steemitrebels of the week post where you do a little blurb on the poster, then link to his/her steemit blog. And, once it really gets going - maybe an interview/profile piece with some of the top SteemitRebels.

Cool to see you trying to help out others. Will definitely help where I can.

hey vogel, thanks buddy for suggesting this site and bringing me over here, loving it man. yeah figure we can all help each other out

No problem, its nice to see a variety of different people joining. It was a pretty narrow crowd of people for a long time.

Thanks for giving me the shout outs! I just now got to this. I have been going crazy over here trying to do so many things and there are so many posts in my feed that it is hard to keep track of everyone sometimes! I'm going to resteem the post!

Hey thanks buddy appreciate it. I really wasn't expecting it to get that much traction at least not that quick and was kind of surprised to see how many posts there were with the tag today.

I know the feeling man. I actually gotta sit down first thing tomorrow morning and start figuring out some posting schedules and find some ways to do things more efficiently to manage my work with youtube and steemit and everything else so I know the feeling no worries.

In regards to the group and tag, another user had mentioned or suggested featuring a different steemit user every week or everyday or something and said the tag would get flooded quickly.

Can you shed some light on that. What do they mean it will get spammed? Also how would I go about featuring someone, just make a post?

Well I see what they are saying a little bit. People could start using the tag for every type of post if they see it get traction. Kind of like taging a youtube video with "Tai Lopez" because you know he has traction and it is business related.

There is the potential to setup a channel in Steemit.chat as well.

As far as featuring someone I would say doing it through a post would probably be the best way. It is a tough thing to figure out exactly what route to take because you want to get the post seen but as you might know a lot of posts have a very quick life cycle on here especially early on when you are newer. But even a little traction for someone can go a long way and just the fact that you featured them can make them really feel good even if the post doesn't initially get a huge payout.

I just joined, and thanks for this. I had no idea grouping here on Steemit was even possible, so you've really opened my eyes here.

Plus, after watching your YouTube video, I know now how the tagging system works more clearly. I did notice that Steemit takes whichever one they believe to be most relevant, and they push it to the front of the line, so make sure you spread the word.

Keep up the teachings, and good vibes my Steemit friend.

hey buddy yeah i kept hearing people talk about groups and couldn't figure out really what they meant or how they did it. i wouldn't be surprised if they do create a group feature but yeah for now its just using tags. ill have to dig into your content a bit more i briefly read a couple and enjoyed them. one suggestion id try to add a pic, that seems to be what really grabs peoples attention really all we have to stand out is our title and pic so use them both. thanks for serving truly appreciate it. a good buddy of mine and family member did 3 tours in afghanistan, he's still struggling a bit since he's been home but slowlyy finding his way

Shit, 3 tours... fuck that!

Maybe I'll go back and add some pictures.

Thanks for the advice, and I'll catch you on here later.

Great idea!
