RE: I Have Just Received My Steemit Invite, Say What?
Got a invite too today. My first thought was that is was a scam or virus but after I checked the link I'm now a member of the Steemit community :D
Nice to not have to get a Reddit or Facebook account to join
Welcome to Steemit - have fun ...
Welcome to Steemit then.
Yes welcome! Bounce around and learn from tutorials before you do your first post.. Here's some things I wish I'd known :
I'm following you now and will try to watch for/upvote your early posts as I see them in my feed to help you out. By the way, with the new rules, you have virtually no "power" right now so might find posting and voting difficult at first (as my real life friends new this week are experiencing). It's largely to put the kibosh on spammers and spammers.
What you CAN do now, is follow people (and you should - go to the lists of people you like and check out and maybe follow whom they do at first, as doing so will populate your feed) and you can also comment, as you just learned. Commenting and upvoting will increase both your "power" and your reputation score. These are essential for attracting followers yourself, who might eventually upvote you and your comments, thus giving you the influence you need to post, upvote, etc.
Have fun! Steemit is hard to understand at forst and very easy to ovethink. If you're not having fun and making great personal connections via commenting, you're not doing it right. Don't try to make money at first or yuo will lose focus and burn out. It's a social network - so be social!
