Introducing me and my pack to the Steemit community.

IMG_2285.JPG
Hello everyone! My name is George and I've been on Steemit since early January 2018 (post crypto boom)
I stumbled across this site when I was researching crytocurrencies & blockchain technologies and their massive growth in late 2017. The fact that this whole platform had already been created (and already in Beta) really had me intrigued as we in the cryto market always seem to hear about new upcoming projects on the horizon and not necessarily projects with an actual product already ready for consumption! To say I was excited was an understatement.

In all honesty, I struggled to really understand how to effectively use the platform at first. I saw all of these posts that people were making in the Trending topics and how much revenue they were generating that it intimidated me. I see all of these posts that are crafted with such care that I was thinking to myself, "What do I have to offer to the Steemit community?" I got discouraged and sheepishly decided to take a break.

I guess I should probably give some more info on myself since I am posting this to #introduceyourself. I have a lovely fiance, who is the world to me as I tackle the IT world during the day being good ole' support as I dream big . Before I met the woman of my dreams, I had one very special man in my life... My little guy Bob (rescued boston terrier mix). I've always been a dog lover and Bob is essentially the reason I found my SO. Since we both share the love for our dogs, we spend a lot of time lounging around and being lazy. Since then our pack has grown and now we have Larry, Lola, Bob, and Baby K aka Karl the chihuahua. Our family is quite happy and I get more used to using Steemit and the eSteem app; I will continue to learn and grow on the Steemit platform. In the mean time I will continue to comment and post on things that I think others may appreciate. Thanks for reading if you took the time - I struggled to get started and now that I started I'm starting to ramble!! Expect more crypto talk in the future!!

Edit: I had to add a pic of Lola! She is usually pretty camera shy and keeps to herself which is why she's not in the group shot!! If you enjoy the doggy pics please let me know. Also - it seems that Vlogs are the way to go judging by other Introduceyourself posts... I will try doing a video at a later time and go a bit more into detail about my normal life :)

Welcome to Steemit! Your pups are absolutely adorable, everyone needs a pretty puppy pic at some point in their day! One little bit of advice... stay out of the trending!! THe trending and hot portions of the show are just that, a show! Most of them buy their way to the top, sad but true! Just write about things you enjoy whether it be these precious pups or crypto, and youll do fine! Most of all, have fun and meet new people, thats what this is really about in the first place. If you need any help, dont hesitate. One more thing, youre more than welcome to use the #newbieresteemday tag on your post to gain extra exposure and if its of quality, they will come by and show you some love! Keep on, Steemin on! :)

Thanks for the tips and the heads up about the trending topic. I think I'll stick to posting about my dogs and maybe do a little crypto and some other nerdy things I enjoy (looking at you Lego!) This place seems like it has a lot of potential, I just need to figure out the little things and maximize my user experience. Thanks again!! Have a nice evening.

Exactly! Your head is in the right spot! DO check out the @greetersguild and @newbieresteemday, both are aimed at helping newbies learn the ropes. Looking forward to a legos post... who doesnt LOVE legos, right?! See you around!

Welcome to Steemit!

This is a great introduction. Your dogs are precious and look like they are enjoying each others company! Steemit can be overwhemling. Typically trending is post that used bots to get the payout. With that said, Steemit can be discouraging at first because our post in the beginning, don't gain as much attention as we would like. Steemit success is the same as all others, it does take time to get there. Communication is the key to success around here. The community is amazing and by meeting new people and really getting yourself out there with thoughtful comments and quailty post, you will grow in no time. Please let us know if you have any questions.
