Hello Steemit
So if found Steemit during my research into all things Blockchain , since May I have been getting my head around how the technology works the, story behind it and the community.
With regards to that the below link is one of the best I have found , just wish i had found it 3 months earlier than I did
It has also coincided with me starting to look at how I would continue to earn a living outside my current career because you never know , while also as giving back which is something over the last few years
Love this from Kevin Spacey

My give back has been :
Mentoring and Coaching within my work place
Mentoring with a charity partner St Giles Trust - will write a blog on an event they held last night with some truly inspirational individuals
I now also have an executive partnership with non profit Government organisation
I coach a junior football team (Its Football played with the foot I refuse to call it the s word)
But here is the thing ,since doing all of this I think I have gained more than the people and teams I am helping, as a coach and mentor you are challenged in ways that you dont always expect and that helps you grow as well as the individual
The network you build getting involved you just cant buy.
There are several topics I am thinking about blogging on , so will be giving it some thought / be great to have some feedback.
Time is going to be the challenge and I am speaking at the below event in a month and need to dedicate some time to my presentation "Empowering our teams to solve incidents"

I set my account up back in June and have been procrastinating since about the first post , so not the most structured post I would have liked but needed to get the first one out and the microhabit created
Cheers

Hello and welcome to Steemit. Who are you though, or do you plan to stay anonymous? If you have valuable content off Steemit, you'll want to verify yourself too. The information I share below will explain the best ways to do it. Don't procrastinate. I created my account in September of 2016, and I didn't use it until two months ago. Wow, do I regret it!
There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:
https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)
https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)
https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)
Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.
Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too. The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story." Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer. Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text. Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.
Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more. The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using another public social media account. For example, I posted my Steemit articles from here through my Twitter account. Another person posted their Steemit information on their Facebook account. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify. If a new account falls within those two categories and fails to verify, it may get blacklisted.
Again, welcome, and I've followed you! If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.
Appreciate the advice thank you
You're very welcome! :)
