@Mountainwashere's Guide for New Users:
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 biggest 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 a photo of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.
There are a lot of really good resources out there for plankton and minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources:
@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group that can help out in a lot of ways.)
@qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.)
@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.)
@ocd (A curation group that seeks out undervalued new writers.)
@photocontests (Runs contests for photographers, pretty self explanatory.)
Much of the activity on steemit actually takes place off Steemit, on places like steemit.chat and discord. Learning to use them is a great idea.
And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way to success 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 plankton & minnows you run into (though I'd appreciate it if you credit me.) If it was useful to you, feel free to check out my posts and give me a follow!
thx for the advice :)
Happy to help, let me know if you have any questions!
How can I not follow a user who also has an eye in his image :-) ... Welcome to Steemit!
thx and welcome to the eye club ;)
Hi @moretea and welcome! I'll follow you and check what's going on :)
okidoki ツ
Welcome to Steem. Do read A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25 for starter tips.
Also get to know more about Steem reading the Steem Blue Paper and share your feedback on our Steem Blue Paper Awareness Initiative
All the Best!!!
thx for the advice :)
Welcome to Steemit moretea. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! Welcome to the blockchain
thx for the advice :)
Welcome, lots of old friends hanging around in here. But the site moves so fast its sometimes difficult to keep track of everyone.
Reading a lot here for some time now about how things work and yes keeping track of people and other things here is pretty complicated, no notifications to help with that, this strange bandwidth thing going on here, whales, witnesses, minnows, to use or to not use these bots, etc. One especcially annoying issue i have is a login problem across multiple browser windows ... is this a bug or do they want me to do everything in one window? ... puuuh ツ
Hey hey ... thanks for spreading my introduction ツ found some tsu vets already and even some of the good old challenges are running here ... great and yes, this blockchain thing is fast.
Heres a List @kalemandra compiled a few months back, help you find some others:
https://steemit.com/tsufamily/@kalemandra/new-ex-tsuvian-list-have-you-ever-been-a-member-of-tsu-community-can-you-find-your-name-in-the-list
thank you very much, but i think i came across a more recent one already ツ
Did you try busy.org? Seems to be a pretty good alternative to steemit.com ... much better designed site, notifications are working, no login stress across multiple windows.
Hope this wasn't your last post ... Steemit it all the way!
Nope, surely not, but i have a lot of things runnin' around my head that need attention right now and i don't just want to post daily bs here. Sola is good for now for getting out some quick mobile shots from out on the road.
(Open your mind and ) The rest will follow ... 🖖🏽😎🤙🏽
