My 1st Post on Steemit!
Hello, my name is Wendy l live in London. I am a studying full time Public Health Research. I am a mother of two girls 22 and 9 years old. I enjoy travelling and exploring my city London, which is rich with culture and diversity. Additionally along with my studies l enjoy travelling whenever l get a break. In the past two years l have travelled around Europe and last summer have been to Africa Nairobi and Lusaka. It was
great to reconnect with my family after 22 years. l have lived in London for most of my adult life and due to pressure of life never went back to Africa.l realised how much l had missed so much of my culture and great food.
Also as part of my research on health, food and culture. My love for food and wine and my curious mind and background of research gives me the great opportunity to contribute to anything to do with healthy living, exercise , sport, cooking and wine.
Lastly, l enjoy sharing my travelling experiences but although l am not an experienced photographer l enjoy sharing some of my pictures and tell stories behind them. I believe that a picture always tells great story. With Steemit as a great platform l would be so happy to share my experiences.
I found out about steemit thorough my sister @daisysamuel who l am glad has joined. I became curious and went through some forums on Reddit and you tube. I believe this is a great platform to learn and develop sharing content and earning from it. I have recently started investing in cryptocurrency since l am studying research l have spent the past few weeks learning and finding out all about cryptocurrency.
I look forward to connecting with other Steemians!
😁

Hi @eddy2cul great to connect with you.
Welcome to Steemit! It's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. The secret to success? Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments.
Tagging is extremely important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general (so long as it's still relevant) to fill the quota if you need to- most of your tags should be established ones, though one or two less used ones are fine.
Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so you should try to post often.
Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.
There are a lot of really good resources out there for minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources to new users:
@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group.)
@qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.)
@originalworks (Whenever you write an original post, tag this account- they'll verify it's original and upvote you.)
@steembasicincome (Another lifetime upvote option.)
@steemstem (The biggest and best STEM curation group in the game. If you're interested in writing or reading about science, check these guys out!)
@geopolis (A fairly new science curation group, this one's dedicated to the study of the Earth.)
And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way there through perseverance and hard work. It takes time, but you'll eventually succeed if you put in the work.
Please feel free to repost this guide on the posts of other minnows you run into!
