In our quest to bring new members to enjoy all the benefits we, the existing members, have been enjoying, I strived to introduce yet another member to the Steemit family. Y'all welcome my new recruit, Kelly (@kelly21). ## How I met him and introduced him to Steemit. Kelly is a very good friend of mine, whom I've been wooing over the months to join Steemit. Though we aren't staying together in the same area again yet, I never stop giving him reasons why he should join Steemit, both during our chat and phone conversations.

Barely 10 days ago, on November 17, to be precise, he messaged me on WhatsApp, telling me he had decided to create a Steemit account as per my directions. I'm happy he finally did. ## Photo of Kelly and me Kelly with welcome placard| Kelly and I --|-- https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcYQopyB5zSxLnw9igQpEzyBgjLr81wmpbmryQLAzLdxk/Screenshot_20221123-080126~2.png|https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdoKa6rtfnqTizwwCUdiakkstwdNdvLfuKUp3T6qDaQAp/Screenshot_20221123-080221~3.png

^{Kelly and I} I have lots of pictures of me and my friend Kelly, but not that one in which he's holding a placard saying "Welcome to Steemit," as is supposed. This is because at this point he decided to join Steemit, we're already apart from each other. ## Link to his introduction post. As previously stated, Kelly has made his introduction post in the newcomers community, and it has been long since verified. This is the introduction link for Kelly. https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@kelly21/my-introduction-post-to-steemit **Note:** it took a little while before his post achievement 1 task was verified because of the necessary informations he earlier omitted. It was approved after including all that's required of every newbie to include in his achievement 1 posts. ## Conclusion Because I never once regretted joining Steemit, and since then I've been having better experiences that I want others to have too, I've decided to make referring people to Steemit my necessary obligation. I've been doing that, and I think this contest is just a great motivation for me to do more. Thank you
