FIRST THINGS FIRST

As a new user to steemit, I know you want to dive right in and start posting and earning! But resist! You first must have a good following in order for your posts to be seen, otherwise who's going to vote on them??? Shayne

These are the opening lines of a year old post by Shayne. It has been my habit to search for posts that appeal to me. Once I came across this one, I decided to make my introductory post soon.

I am Captain Jack Sparrow, Savvy?

Yes, and I have been on steemit as abbernard for close to a month now, thanks to @Joshuaattat who helped me get this account. I had already dived right in commenting on and resteeming posts that drew my attention. Now I want to set things right.

Without further ado, my name is Abas Bernard (Ab.Bernard). I am a Nigerian, lover of novelty, writer, pharmacist by profession, radio presenter(newbie) ex cetera ex cetera. I enjoy trying new things, visiting new places, reading new books, being part of a mind blowing innovation and drawing portraits at leisure. I love developing ideas as well as solving problems too. I love all of nature's beauty in its unadulterated and uncorrupted form. I dream of a home at the beach surrounded by trees. Yeah! I have a lot of crazy dreams.

LOL. one of my drawings, usually rushed within 5 mins, with a pen, mistakes can't be corrected.

And for the movies, I like medical and historical drama, action, adventure, romance, war, science fiction and comedy. For now my best characters are Gregory House of House MD, Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Caribbean, (oops! Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow) and Ragnar Lothbrok of Vikings.

EVERYONE LIES, Dr. House

I am not Everyone anyway.

I joined steemit because I want to be a part of a new innovation, I want to try something new and own a space where I can post my ideas, share my views and get peoples honest views about them. Thanks to @joshuaattat who introduced me to it. The good soul went as far as helping me get this account. He had introduced me to steemit based dollar when I started banking with @Bankofattat. Peter Abia "Groot" @getencored is my cryptoguider. He introduced me to crypto currency last year.
I have other pals here @arhnie, @eaby, @penking etc. I am also a contributor to @drugcompendium. I have been on the @airclinic discord channel and its wow! I'll help you read a lot of books on steemit. I hope to contribute to #health #steemiteducation #steemstem #stemng #airclinic #steemschools.

Steemit has given another face to blogging and social media. It encourages originality of content and rewards better. You must have something worth peoples upvote and curating before posting.

Hello abbernard! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
