RE: HELLO STEEMIT, MEET DORCAS. **my first post (introduceyourself)**
Hello, Dorcas, and Welcome to Steemit.
As a reader / writer, an international student, an idealist, and an ecstatic person who is motivated to do something constructive, you will certainly find Steemit to be a great platform. It's not so much a social network as a grand community with an amazing publishing platform.
And as someone who knows how to write, I'm certain that you'll have a large impact (eventually) and find true success here (eventually).
(I hope you can stay warm in Russia. I'm a Canadian now living in Thailand, and I often find it difficult to stay COOL! ☺ )
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Be yourself.
- Be interesting and informative.
- Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
- Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Thank you very much as this will go a long way in helping me on steemit
p.s. I usually do not follow newbies, until I realize that they have plenty to bring to this site. But immediately after reading your post, and then re-reading a few parts, I clicked "FOLLOW."
Just like you, ... "I am not a social person😓, I have always liked keeping a cool and quiet profile." I can get by in a crowd, but I usually prefer the company of one friend at a time. Or solitude. ☺
I thought Facebook was horrible, and after a short time on it, I abandoned my account. Steemit is an entirely different beast, where even quiet people like you can do well.
All the best!
Hmm.... Thank you
You have made me feel so much special today.. Thank you.. Remain a blessing. I just hope I can be your friend tho
You're welcome. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.
@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer
For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
Cheers!
Thanks so much @majes.tytyty for welcome my friend @dorcasosas with great goodies.. I just hope it doesnt stop after this.. I beseech u to also help watch her growth on steemit as me alone cant do it all.
I'll do my best. Of course, I have a few thousand other followers, but I found her intro particularly interesting and promising.
Cheers.
