RE: Give A Steemit Newbie Some Advice, Will You?
Welcome to steemit, @stellarr!
If i were to say something to my "mionnow me", would be: "Read THIS, man. Like, right now" :)
My profile is @flashfiction and i would like to present you some links i found really useful when i first signed up here. They will make you start with the right foot on Steemit!
These links will all open on the SAME TAB (Yeah, i know...), so i recommend opening them with "right click->open in a new tab".
| Link | Check | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Growing Fast | Top | You HAVE to register here, if you want to build an audience FAST. It's a free service for boosting exposure, upvotes and followers. You just have to click on "login". Have your key at hand (That awfully long number you got when you signed up on Steemit). The tutorials are easy to follow. |
| All about steem coins | Top | There are three coins of use on Steemit, and understanding them is critical for your success. This is a short explaining video, the very best i've found. |
| Markdown | Top | Even if you can use some basic HTML on your posts, the correct way to format them is NOT HTML. You use a marking ruleset called, yeah, "Markdown". Have this as a complete reference. |
| Posting | Medium | The top activities on this site are posting, upvoting and commenting. This is an excellent tutorial about making your posts look great. Don't miss it! |
| Upvoting | Medium | Yeah, you tought upvoting was just a matter of machine-gunning your clicks and make easy bucks. Nah. It is actually a little more complicated than that. All you need to know is here. |
| Better interface | Medium | Let's face it: The interface on Steemit is pretty basic. "Busy" is an alternate interface you can use, more polished and easy to navigate. Both of them can be used simultaneously. Again, you just have to login. |
| Using Bots | Medium | There are a lot of things to learn about this platform, and understanding bots is one of the most important. They are little different services you can access for a fee. I found this tutorial extremely useful. |
| Trevon James | Medium | I know, i know... there are lots and lots of GREAT steemians here for picking one to recommend, but i just love Trevon's style. He explains EVERYTHING you need to know about Steemit (and crypto) in a funny, accesible way. Check him out. |
| @flashfiction | Awesome | Well, duh. My profile! ;) I write short fiction and tutorials on creative writing. I would be honored if you'd follow me. |
Anything i cand help you with, i'm at your service!
See you around!
Very enlightening. Thank you.
