RE: Experiences and Advice After First Month on Steemit

Awesome post! I'm a newbie, and I've been mingling, so to speak. Your post was very informative and can definitely help someone like me. I am loving the relationships that I've been building, getting to know people, and getting into discussions and debates has been my favorite part of steemit. I've gotten my feet wet by nervously posting a few things..and I get extremely excited to see an upvote or a comment...that's kinda just a perk to me. I would love to hear more about SBD, and SP, and STEEM and how to tranfer from one to another. I'm also curious about witnesses and what that means. Thanks again for the advice!

I'm glad you enjoyed the read. I definitely felt excited and nervous when I first started too. Steemit feels so familiar, yet strange at first. Maturity and effort are a must here, especially compared to FB or Reddit. It pays off though and helps you stand out. Just have fun posting and interacting until it clicks.

A quick tip about SBD/SP/STEEM:
To trade SBD for STEEM just go to your wallet and click on the down arrow. Select transfer from the drop down menu. Then you can trade all or some SBD for STEEM.
You can "power up" STEEM to SP by clicking the down arrow next to STEEM and selecting the Power Up option.

I'm still learning about witnesses myself. From what I've gathered they are essentially server nodes run by Steemians. Each of us gets to vote for these witnesses. The more votes each witness gets, the more SBD they get. Good witnesses provide other essential services for the Steemit community too.

Hang in there!

Thank you for the response and your explanations on the SBD and STEEM. I appreciate the help!! I never did the whole reddit thing, I didn't even know what that was until I got on steemit. I have facebook and rarely get on it, and never posted anything like what I've posted here. It seems to be easier for me to put my stuff out there to people I don't know, and everyone has been awesome! I'm grateful to my husband for introducing me to this platform. I would love to write a book and I feel this platform will help me with that! Thanks again for your wisdom!!

If you want some help and practice writing, join the group at TWB. I take part in their writing exercises for fun and practice. We just wrapped up a POV exercise that will be posted soon. It’s a very welcoming group and a great place to grow as a writer.

I followed TWB after reading your post, how do I join the group? I can not express how freaking excited all of this is making me, lol. Thank you so much for taking me under you wing...I may start referring to you as my Obi Wan!!

oh my gosh - i seriously love your name hahahahaha i use to LOVE monchichis!!! hehehe

Lol thank you @dreemsteem!! I acquired that nickname as a young girl because I had the monchhichi cheeks 😁.. I hated it back then but learned to love it. It was a unique nickname

Isn't it funny that sometimes the things we hated as a child becomes something that we embrace when we're older!?? Hahaha

Indeed!! Like vegetables and salad.

😂😂😂 and naps!!!

And the song just popped in my head!! Lol .. Do you remember the song @dreemsteem?

Are you kidding me!?!? Hahahaha as SOON as I saw your name I was like
Monchichi monchichi! Oh so soft and cuddly with their think in their mouth they are really neat... Or something hahahahaha I always messed that part up.

But HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!! MONCHICHIS!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wasn't expecting a response like that!! That was great... I'm thinking now maybe I should do a post and put a video up. 🤔 A little bit of nostalgia. That was awesome, brought a big smile to my face!! 😁😁

Yessssss!!!! If you do a video... Tag me 😂😂😂 I need to see it hahaha

Consider it done!! I've already started trying to figure out how to include a video within my post... 😁

If it's on YouTube.. I'm pretty sure you just put the link! If it's on dtube, it's a bit different. Just a little bit more complex. They have the code for you in the details and you copy and paste that into markdown :)
