Steemit can be difficult to start. You'll struggle to gain traction, you won't make much or get many views in the beginning but hang in there! It'll come eventually..
Make Friends
Find others who share the same interests and passions as you. Show up on their posts and leave comments. Don't ask anyone to follow you, chances are they'll check you out if they see you enough and you leave insightful comments on their posts.
Don't Let Anyone Box You In
Just because some people have success posting about certain topics stick to what you know. Create blogs about things you like and know about. If you're interested in something others probably will be too. You can't fake it till you make it here, people will see thru that. Be genuine and real to yourself.
Don't Be Scared to Ask For a Hand
This place is full of friendly helpful people, if you need a hand don't be scared to ask for help. Someone will volunteer so don't be shy!
Be Prepared
Research the topics you post about. Be sure not to publish anyone elses work or plagiarize anything. Chances are good you'll get caught and your reputation will be tarnished forever! Proofread and check over your work before you hit post. Also spend time creating blogs that add substance and value to the platform. I don't, but I'm the rare exception.
Exercise Regularly
Steemit can be addictive. Remember to make time to be active and stay in good shape. Strong mind strong body. I try not to spend more than 12 hours a day on here, this number will vary depending on your lifestyle. Find balance and what works for you.
Be Accepting of Others
Steemit is filled with people from all over the world. There are different cultures and opinions and not everyone is right. If you don't agree with someone that's fine, but remember we're all here for the same reason. To share and have fun. Noone likes drama so try your best not to cause trouble.
Get Plenty of Rest
Be sure to get your sleep. Sleep recharges and refreshes your mind so you'll be able to come up with good posts. We need you at your best so don't forget to rest. That rhymes, I'm a good blogger.
Practice Good Hygiene
Remember to wash behind your ears and keep your paws clean. Ok, by now it's probably clear some of these have anything to do with Steeming...truth is, I just found some cute cat pics and I wanted to make a post 😊
Don't Trust Vaccines
You'll see alot of antivaccine posts here. Steemers don't trust anything which is good, it's best to be critical and question everything. If you aren't as terrified or accepting that vaccines are the devil's medicine, you're probably best to just avoid those posts and don't question antivaxers on their views, they're very powerful on here and they'll bury you and ruin your experience.
Don't Chew Your Nails
It's a bad habit and as my grandfather told me when I was a kid, it's a sign of weakness. I don't bite my nails anymore.
Listen To MSPWaves
Minnowsupport runs some great radio stations. Stop by sometime and check them out. There's always good music and discussion and they're always looking for new listeners.
Well I think that's enough cuteness for one post..hope you enjoyed whatever the heck this was? 😝
I love you,
