ADVICE FROM PAPA - A VIDEO SERIES TO HELP NEWER USERS ON STEEMIT
Ask and ye shall receive!
Recently @suziescorner requested that @papa-pepper make a video sharing some of his thoughts on what newer users on steemit can be doing to increase their potential on this platform. Never being one to turn away a request for assistance, @papa-pepper soon got to work.
Since there are no guarantees on steemit, just a whole lot more potential and opportunity than others are willing to give us, there is no actual rhyme or reason to truly "succeeding" on steemit or anyway to ensure "success." However, as a person who was a complete n00b just 10 months ago, I can certainly share a lot of my ideas and advice on things that newer users could be up to in order to increase their potential.
Since the realm of potentially valid points is nearly inexhaustible, I was in now way going to attempt to make one single comprehensive video post that covered all of the bases and variables. Therefore, I will be releasing this in a video series, and take a more laid-back, thought-sharing approach rather than "teaching a class" on How To Succeed on Steemit."
HERE IS VIDEO 1
As I continue with this series, I sincerely aim to provide some solid advice and worthwhile food for thought. However, from my current position in the steemit community, I may have a very different perspective than some of the newer users. That said, since I do not want to waste your time or mine, please let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns that you would like my thoughts on. I cannot speak for everyone or for steemit inc, but I can share my thoughts with you and hope that they will be helpful.
Thanks everyone! Hopefully this series will be of some assistance and encouragement to you. If you enjoyed what you saw, make sure to thank @suziescorner for her excellent suggestion. Papa Out!
Papa, be sure that at some point, we will meet, face to face.
Looking forward to it. 15 years since I've been up to Canada, but I know a lot of people there these days!!!!
Nice to have a step by step. I know we all want to make a million overnight, but we have to remember this is a marathon not a sprint. Easy to get impatient and overlook the opportunity right in front of you.

What about Bob, that's aweome
A very funny movie to be sure!
Excellent (and appropriate) attitude @rangertx!
I'll keep them coming. Thank you.
"What About Bob?" is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time; it's awesome.
Thanks for the video Papa, Iam new to steemit. (about a week) really do not know that much about it. Learned a lot of good info from your video. You managed to put it in simple terms. I made the first mistake by not including a photo on my intro post. I have learned that you seem to get more upvotes and followers if you include a picture in every post. Thanks for the info and happy steeming.
Glad to hear it, and I am so glad that you found it to be helpful.
Thanks again, looking forward to the next video.
Maybe tomorrow...
Great first video. There is definitely a lot for us newbies to digest, so multiple posts are far better than one "eat-till-you-drop" buffet.
Right. Thanks for the encouragement once again Dad! I love you.
Great Share, Thanks for keeping it real and giving us newbs some practical steemit support. Respect :)
Steem On Brother!
Thanks for the honest advice @papa-pepper! Every new Steemer needs to hear this!
