RE: **extra extra** Noob to Noob Alert -- warning you have to participate before your first 30 days are up...AND STOP POWERING DOWN BEFORE YOU HAVE A FEW HUNDRED IN STEEM POWER FOR THE LOVE OF STEEM
Well that's a kick in the keester...
I've been trying to get my fiat money into crypto and have hit brick walls at every turn.
I've been engaging with the comunity as much as I can and have joined steemian and am trying to get in with whaleshares and the like. I am currating, commenting, resteeming, producing OC posts (not many to be honest, as I'm a perfectionist and its hard for me to call something "done" I have 6 projects in the pipeline curently lol), and I've gained almost 50 followers so I guess I'm doing something right...
but, I've been here for almost 2 weeks and only have 8SP (granted I moved almost 1Steem out so I could jump into bitshares... oops).
I had no idea that there was a doomsday clock.
oh well, if I fall off the map, thats why lol definitely not giving up though.
thanks for the info, much appreciated.
When I first started and was sort of blocked on what to post, I went back through my Facebook posts and picked a couple that I felt were worthwhile, spruced them up and posted them here. I'm a perfectionist too, but sometimes you just have to get in there and post it. Use the #minnowsunite so those trying to help the minnows can see your posts and other minnows like me can see them as well :)
I also follow the folks involved in the Minnow Support Project and comment thoughtfully on their posts. I write fiction so I spend time in the fiction section upvoting good content and commenting, commenting, commenting. I never, ever ask for an up vote or a follow back, and I always, always try to craft a comment so that it brings value to the discussion and demonstrates that I really read the post.
Three weeks in I have a little over 120 followers. I think most of those come from the Introduceyourself new feed. I don't go spam generic "Welcome, follow me I'll follow you!" but rather I read the post, comment in a way that makes it clear I read the post and give a personalized tip from one noob to another, like maybe they only used the IY tag but they posted beautiful photographs and mentioned they will be sharing photography here, so I advise that they can edit to add "photography" as a tag.
I've sent you 15 SBD because either I don't have the ability yet to transfer steem power directly or I don't have the knowhow. But you should be able to power up if you aren't totes broke yet ;)
Best of luck!
This made me tear up.
Thank you so much for your very kind gesture! Honest deep felt gratitude.
I think what holds me back is that on the blockchain my work is on there forever so if I get a fact wrong or if I misquote someone my blunder is there forever. You are 100% right, however, I do need to just hit the post button lol :)
I'm involved in and very excited about the minnowsunite and the MSP! I listened to the launch earlier tonight and I think it will be incredible! With your generousity I'll be able to get registered in there then I'll power up, I'm beyond happy!
You have great insights and I'll definitely follow your lead on the introduceyourself section!
Thank you again, I've followed you and I look forward to looking through your work!
I'm very happy to help. Best of luck and I've followed you back. Hope to see something on my feed from you soon 😉
This is what a good community is all about!
Wow you are really nice! I need some follows and some help also! I want to be here for the long run and haven't had all the time i thought i would because of my mom being sick...
You need to vote on other peoples posts...ones that you know will be good after the 30 minute mark
resteem them
comment good comments that get noticed
go read @pfunk and see who he follows and check out those posts...to vote on the recent ones and resteem.
Yep, been doing that (That's what I meant by currating. Sorry, I was unclear) Haven't seen returns from it yet (but I think I started in earnest about 5 days ago so we'll see how it goes lol)
thank you for the reply and the recomendation, I'll go check it out :)
go through account to see who and what I have been resteeming ... you are looking for good content...that pays well. you can see it in my wallet too.
