RE: Experiences and Advice After First Month on Steemit

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!!
