![SteeFest.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXMyCnniG5Z9J3VB6r3SFgvLPM5oaqBYKU5FStA64HAWi/SteeFest.png) Dear Steemiens, You probably have never heard about me, except if you are belonging to the French Community. *But, wait. Don't leave.* I need your help (like a 100% upvote, once and forever ;-)) and I might help you too ! I started my blog on 3th of June. This is my [introduction post](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@malik.roxane/finally-joining-the-steemit-community-and-introducing-you-to-my-life) in english if you are curious about who I am. So yes, I 've two blog. A [personnal](https://steemit.com/@malik.roxane) one to blog about lifestyle - in fact, Money, Travel and Entrepreuneurship (as I had already a [blog](http://www.lesconseilsmoneydetati.be) and a [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXTmWfoJB1pKMFRHRkTdWBg). And a second one [@roxane](https://steemit.com/@roxane/) where I blog only about Steem. In fact, I started to blog (not on Steem) after loosing my job. I was sick and couldn't go to work for almost a year. So, from my bed, I started to blog... then when I felt better I started Youtube. And now I feel better (and as I am still jobless), I found Steem and I am totaly dedicated to it. In fact, I love the idea of how the blockchain & crypto can change the world. It gives me hope ! ### Dedicated to Steem, really ? I came on Steem to blog about Travel, Money and Entrepreneurship. *But wait. Where are the french speaking people on Steem ?!* ***And do you know that french is one of the most speaking language in the world ? 274 millions of french speaking persons. French is the 5th language spoken in the world.*** There were already few french people on Steem yes. But writing in english ! And for the newcomers? They would leave directly because of the english plateform associated to theses stranges words *blockchain*, *crypto*, and the little rewards. ![French.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1506169615/tiub3gd2ilsyesjxx4ix.png) This is how look the French community on Steem... **The 5th Language spoken in the world, remember?** So... I couldn't find the french community, so no one to read my blog about Money, Entrepreuneurship or Travel... No ones ! So, I started to explain Steem to the news users, so they would not leave. And this is what happend. The french community started to grow and grow everyday. And started to be really involve, daily, in Steem. And this is the evolution... Statistics a month ago. ![stats.all.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1506169756/wym9ocm4pnxenqwi4g71.png) And statistics today. ![uvuzoni_0(1).png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1506169854/igpsnivs92kb345oli5t.png) Yes, we are finaly growing... And why are the french people staying here, do you think ? ***I can say today that I am part of the french revolution of steem.*** It has not been easy. I have publish at least a video+an article per day to explain how Steem works in french for more than 90 days. ### Why do I want to go to Steemfest ? I will not expand myself (again) about the why. **But what you need to remember** : 1. Meet the Steem Community *In real Life*; 2. Meet my Steem-Friends from all over the world *In Real Life*; 3. Have fun; 4. Develop my network *(and see how we can dream and co-create the futur of Steem together)* This is the really important point !; 5. Do the interviews face to face (and not skype by skype) of the frenchs steemiens who are rocking Steem *(Yes, @heimindanger or @ekitcho are french)!* 6. & Have a selfie with [@ned](https://steemit.com/@ned).
Theses articles I 've written previously for severals contests are explaning in details the **why I want (so badly) to go**. 1. The [first contest](https://steemit.com/fr/@malik.roxane/i-want-to-go-to-steemfest2-and-this-is-why-fr-en), I participated two months ago. There are also theses two articles [1](https://steemit.com/fr/@malik.roxane/envoyez-moi-a-steemfest-voter-pour-moi-dans-le-post-de-vcelier-ne-votez-pas-ce-post-ci), [2](https://steemit.com/fr/@roxane/i-need-your-vote-help-me-to-go-at-steemfest-2017). 2. The second was for @stellabelle. The [text](https://steemit.com/steemfest/@roxane/stellabelle-s-steemfest2-entry-animated-video-how-to-change-the-world-in-7-steps-yeah-really) she asked for. And the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0c95LtWeFM). 3. The [third](https://steemit.com/steemfest/@firepower/contest-1-win-a-free-ticket-to-steemfest-2017-at-lisbon#@planetenamek/re-firepower-contest-1-win-a-free-ticket-to-steemfest-2017-at-lisbon-20170904t220923834z) and last was for @firepower. Who, by the way, is really cool and will already [help me with the costs](https://steemit.com/steemfest/@firepower/contest-1-winner-announcement-for-a-free-ticket-to-steemfest-2017-at-lisbon-runner-ups) ! ***I would not be asking you anything if I would have win one of theses contests. But now, we are running out of time. And this is my last chance to go - and for you to have me ;-) !*** ### Why you should support me to go there ? Because I am dedicated to Steem, I try to give the best of me everyday for the plateform (disregarding the rewards I got... most of the time fews SBD, sometimes much more lucky!) In fact, not being in Steemfest means that I am not part of it. I mean... as a co-creator of Steem. For sure, there are many bloggers (about travel, money or entreprenorship for example who will not attend Steemfest. They publish on Steem, they are read, and that's enought). But its not enought for me. I am creating the FR community everyday since I joined the plateforme. My place is at Steemfest. But do you remember, I am still jobless. So, even if I really really want to go. I am still missing something : money. ***And you want me to continue to increase the french community ! More people, more valuable the steem will be. More power for you.*** ### What are the contributions I have made to the french community ? - Every day, I post something explaining Steem. In a video or in a post. I explain the terms, the tools, the platform, the Etiquette, … and much more ! - I've set up a website helped called [Comprendre-Steem.fr](http://www.comprendre-steem.fr/) (Which mean *Understand Steem*). This is a collaborative website that indexes all the useful french content to start on Steem, and where people can submit articles that will help news french steemiens. - I am an active member of the [@francosteemvotes](https://steemit.com/@francosteemvotes) which is our french curation account. - I am active in our chat on Discord for the newcomers and the friendly community. - I am active to keep steem clean (no spammy post in the french community!). - I am an active steem [recrutor/advertiser](https://steemit.com/fr/@malik.roxane/comment-faire-grandir-la-communaute-francophones-de-steemit). - Starting today, I have been choosen by @acidyo to become an [OCD curator](https://steemit.com/ocd/@acidyo/ocd-language-curators-chosen) for french content. ### How much do I need ? - Minnowticket (200euros); - Plane ticket - from 31 to 7 of November, otherwise the price is just tooooo high! (250euros for a return. Coming by bus is the same price ;-) I've check!). - Very cheap airbnb accomodation (300euros) somewhere in Lisboa (around 30min walk to the HF). - Food etc. (100euros). ### So, would you please give me a 100% Upvote if you think I deserve to be present at Steemfest2 considering all the work I do every day for Steem and it's french community ? And if you have powerfull friends on Steem, just let them now about me (or resteem the post !).
Thanks in advance, *Roxane*
