Hey @charles1
Your advice for new comers to the platform is of extreme value.
If I may digress a little with an anecdote?
My @mrbloom (which was my main account) was unfortunately hacked and robbed last Saturday. they lunged my rep down from a respectable 56 to -1 in less than 24 hours by spamming comments with phishing links everywhere. Fortunately my #helpie family helped me out as well as other community members, and created this @darrenclaxton account for me last Saturday evening.
Just 1 week on starting from scratch again, and I've climbed from 25 to 53 rep by being supported by the the users that had followed my old account. I just echo what you are saying here! That, by using your time intelligently and skillfully,will no doubt make your time here on Steemit all that much less frustrating and more of an enjoyable rewarding experience.
Just to add -
- Comment often as you can with gusto and intelligent content.
- Take the time to actually read what the author has written and poured their precious time into.
- Create a good quality post when you're ready to do so - use appropriate #tags
- Quality far outweighs quantity - In my opinion - so plan your blog post.
- Sign up to Discord and join some servers, share your post in the various sections.
And most importantly - Be polite, Be friendly and engage with the community, as there are so many amazingly talented people here on Steemit that will want to follow your journey.
PS. please also only use your private posting key to login rather than your master key! I've learnt this the hard way!
Thanks for letting me crash the party @charles1
Top post my friend!
Cheers
Darren
