New To Steemit? - Steemit Tips You Need To Know To Succeed On Steemit

in #help8 years ago (edited)

If you're new on Steemit there are some things you should know about this platform. The growing influx of new users joining have some doing things unknowingly that only shoot themselves in the foot.

Here are some tips to help you do well on Steemit.

steemit tips for new users.png

Don't Ask Anyone To Follow You

It's understandable that when a new user gets on Steemit and sees all the trending posts making the big rewards and having so many followers they get excited and want to get as many followers as they can as fast as they can so they can make big rewards too.

So, what do they do? They start commenting on every post they see with big rewards and beg the people to follow them in exchange for a follow back. There's just one problem with that strategy. It doesn't work on Steemit at all.

In fact, it just annoys the hell our of whales or anyone that has been here for a while and labels you as f4f, or a follow for follow. You may have heard that a minnow is a new person on Steemit, right? Well, an f4f'er is like pond scum. Something you scrape off your shoe and forget about.

So, don't beg or even ask people to follow you. I never do it. If I see a post I really like and want to follow them I'll sometimes, not always, let them know that I'm following them when I leave a comment, but I will never ask anyone to follow me.

And I don't leave a comment just to say I am following them like this for example;

Hi, I'm following you.

If I do mention that I have started following them it will not be the bulk of my comment. It will be mentioned casually and not part of the main reason I left them a comment. For example;

Hi, I really like the way you wrote this post and can relate to the ideas you shared about, blah, blah, blah...
What do you think about, blah, blah, blah?
Anyways, thanks for sharing. I upvoted, and you now have a new follower. Look forward to reading your next post.

See the difference? Not once do I ask them to do anything for me.

Why not? Because I don't want them to follow me unless they are really interested in the content I'm creating. Any other reason for them to follow me is not going to benefit either of us no matter how many people follow me.

The only time I ask someone to follow me is if I signed them up to Steemit personally and know them in real life. Even when someone I signed up, like @mithrilweed, signs up someone we both mutually know in person, like @donnaincancun, I still didn't ask @donnaincsncun to ever follow me or upvote my content.

Why? Because I only want her to follow me if she really wants to because anything less than a real, voluntary follower is a waste of time for both of us.

It is much better to make your writing make them want to follow you.

How do you know if the followers you have are really reading your content? Scroll down to the bottom of this post to where the number of votes are displayed. "See the number next to the little eyeball?" If that number is around the dame as the number of votes you have (it should be a little higher than your vote count) then you have real followers.

Still not convinced that your number of followers you have nothing to do with the number of upvotes you get unless they choose to follow you because they like your content?

Then read this post titled, Ladies And Gentlemen I Present To You The King Of Follow For Follow Failure --- by @trevorlyman

In it, he shows a guy on Steemit with 2358 followers and he's still making pennies per post. The guy has followed over 12,000 people asking them to follow back and 2358 did follow him back. They just don't read or upvote his content and the people that would have made a difference if they started following him never did. Follow for follow does not work on Steemit!

What counts is people following you because they genuinely want to follow you. That means you have to work for it and create good content and grow your following one person at a time. There are no shortcuts.

Give It Away Give It Away Give It Away Now

Do you have a talent, a wit with words, a passionate hobby or interest, or a great idea for a contest? Share it with the community. Can you garden, play an instrument, paint, or like to travel? Write about it.

Do you build websites or develop programs? Develop something useful to the community. That's how you get followers interested in following you.

It's very simple really. The more you give of yourself and to this community, the better you will do on Steemit.

It doesn't matter if you're bat shit crazy on Steemit as long as you can write about it in an engaging and informative way like this post you should read titled, How To Earn Money On Steemit Even If You Re Mildly Insane --- by @stellabelle

The most important thing is to get down with your funky self and express yourself without holding back. Do that and not only will you become a better person but the followers that matter to you will follow, read, and upvote your stuff.

Be A Steemweaver

What is a Steemweaver you may ask? This is a word I would like to introduce into the Steemit lexicon.

weav·er
ˈwēvər/noun

a person who weaves fabric

Think of this Steemit social network as a fabric and the threads are the people in it and the content they spin. You are a master spinster who weaves these threads together into a beautiful piece of cloth. So, a Steemweaver is;

steem-weav·er
ˈstēm-wēvər/noun

a person who weaves the fabric of social connections on Steemit

steem-weav·ing
ˈstēm-wēving/verb

the act of weaving the fabric of social connections on Steemit

How do you become a Steemweaver? Instead of adding links to your content in your post, add links to other Steemians content that is relevant to your posts content.

If you leave a comment on someone's post and feel compelled to add a link to it, instead of adding a link to your post leave a link to someone else's post instead and only if it adds to the post you're leaving the comment on.

I knew a guy who was a great dog trainer. Really top notch, but he couldn't market his skills for shit. Not even for dog shit! He had great marketing materials but he approached people in a way that turned them off. It was a shame because he really was good at training dogs.

He would accost people on the street with flyers offering his dog training services and at every social gathering, he would hand his business cards to everyone there whether they were dog owners or not, constantly butting into conversations at the wrong moment and handing out business cards. No one ever called him or gave him business.

One day he asked me for my opinion on why he wasn't getting any response and I offered a few suggestions.

He made some posters and put them up around the trails in a park where dog owners daily walked their dogs and in a few veterinary offices. Soon the calls were flooding in.

Showing your value to the community in the right context has far better results than blasting people's posts with queries to follow you or upvote you. The former brings value to the community and creates a lasting impression and valuable connections, while the latter is like a fly in your face you just want to swat away.

A Word About Links

How many times have you seen a new user leave a link in the comment of your post that has nothing to do with the post you wrote?

This is a mistake that will cost you if you keep doing it. If it's very relevant to the content the post is about and you already have a relationship with the person that made the post, then it's alright to add a link. Even then, I do try to add a link to someone else's post because it's just the cool thing to do.

There's one exception. I run the Steemit Open Mic contest and sometimes I see a new user that plays guitar or sings on a post and I know that if they join Steemit Open Mic they will get more exposure, upvotes, and a following. So, I will leave a link inviting them to join us there.

It's going to help them stay on Steemit and some new users have made great rewards on their beginning posts who have joined. I do it because I know it is going to help them, not because I want them to follow me. It is going to bring them value. That is the key to succeeding on Steemit. Help others.

I know that sounds Utopian but that's the way it works here on Steemit. The more you help others the better you will do.

Are you starting to see a pattern here?

Save Your Bitching For Your Bartender

I love my bartenders and tip them well but I would never want to be one. Basically they are shrinks with drinks.

When you first join Steemit no one knows who you are and it will take a while for you to get followers and rewards. Write every day with all the passion you can muster about whatever turns you on.

Didn't make jack shit on that post you spent so much time on? So what? Write another one and another, and another, and another.

In case you didn't get the memo, there are no free lunches. You got to work at this and if you do then something really cool will begin to happen. Magically and literally, you'll get some free lunches.

My first 4 posts made exactly zero rewards. So, did I bitch about it? No. I just kept writing as did all those people you're envying on the trending pages making the big rewards. They earned it bee-och!

Complaining that you are not making anything on Steemit is a sure way to ensure you never will.

Pretend you're at a party. How do people react to people at a party that are bitching and moaning about their job, life, spouse, or money? They go mingle with someone else as fast and as politely as possible.

Don't be a downer or a frowner and if you're naturally pessimistic than put it in your writing in a humorous and engaging way but don't bitch about your lack of success on Steemit.

Be The Real Deal

It doesn't matter if you're a hot bimbo with big tits, a white toast nerd with monitors for eyeballs, an intellectual scholar with a master in theology, or a surfer bum with an ounce a day weed habit. As long as you are genuine and can write about who you really are and share the insights you have that are unique then you'll do well on Steemit.

Be the real deal. Be yourself and express yourself.

Nothing In This World Can Take The Place Of Persistence

Calvin Coolidge said it best:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. credit

If you want to succeed on Steemit you have to work at it, especially in the beginning as a noobie. So pick something you really like to talk about and post something every day.

Keep doing it and interact with everyone who leaves a comment on your post. Try to keep the dialog going with your responses and keep adding value to the conversations you get involved in.

Connect with people and follow people who write things that really interest you. People always say that there is really good content on Steemit but this is truer if you only follow authors that write about things you really like.

Make a habit of posting and commenting on Steemit and keep learning from every post you can and you'll soon have a real loyal following that will reward your posts. I would rather have a few 100 loyal followers that 1000 followers that do not read my posts.

Forget about the money and concentrate on bringing something cool to the table and socializing in a genuine way and before you know it you'll be rocking it.

People Everyone Should Follow

Here is a list of people that everyone should follow on Steemit.

@ned - The cofounder of Steemit

@sykochica - She writes a lot of helpful posts about how to kill it on Steemit and is a great resource for current tips and on how to get the best from the platform

@papa-pepper - Writes about a lot of different topics and really like to help new users find their way around the site.

@steemitblog - Keeps you informed about upcoming changes to the platform

Conclusions

Remember to have fun and connect with people. Forget about the money and concentrate on bringing something cool to the table and socializing in a genuine way and before you know it you'll be rocking it. The most important takeaway you should get from this post is to have fun, give -- don't take, and express yourself. On that note, I'll leave you with this song to inspire you. The lyrics say it all.


Labrinth - Express Yourself

I've been on steem for a week now and I had no clue where to start...

Thanks for the advices 🤗

But I have a question for you:
Do you think the time that you post can have influence on the upvotes I get?

This was a question that I was debating with my boyfriend as he thinks that even with good content if he posts it at 4 am he gets less upvotes.

There are a lot of posts that debate that question.

This post was written 10 months ago which is eons ago on Steemit. There are more people here now in different time zones so things have changed.

😱 where was I? Ten months Steemit has been at it and I've been oblivious to it!

I only came across it a couple of days ago and wasn't sure what to expect. Now I'm getting truly involved with the Steemit community and looking forward to a long journey here!

Thanks for your tips. They are priceless!

Upvoted and followed!😜

Welcome to this amazing thing of ours, Steemit.

One of the general tips on Youtube is to try and post around the same time each day. That way your followers get into the 'rhythm' of when to expect your new content, regardless of where in the world they are.

Great links and great advice, thank you!
I've been here for 3 weeks and during this time if I received a follower I would check my list and follow them back without checking their page.
Yesterday I decided to stop doing that because I noticed that several of the people following me were also following thousands of other people even though they had only been here for about a month. That told me that they were probably trying to just get followers and weren't necessarily interested in my page.
I'm starting to get the hang of this place, especially due to all the helpful posts like yours so thanks!

Good. Real followers are the best.

Ba hahahahaaa that was epic. "Pond Scum" "Surfer bum with an oz habit a day" and that quote about talent, really hits home! My husband is just waiting for his account to be verified and was asking me earlier about 'the ropes'...there's no way I explained it better than you, I'm getting him to read this pronto! Thanks @luzcypher hahaaaa awesome laughs.

Thanks for inviting me into that group angel - and pointing to this post - an excellent intro for newbies to avoid mistakes and diffuse potential illusions or unrealistic ambitions. Focus on fun and the rest will fall into place ;-)

@steemuwe You are very welcome, we gotta get our fb fam over here, the group was a necessary step I should have taken a long time ago, and I'm glad you got to meet Mr @luzcypher too! I'm definitely showing anyone new to steemit this article!

I predict a MASSIVE influx into here in July - stay tuned ;-)

My husband is finally here!! ** Brendan Bowes @hendrix22 Please read this amazingly hilarious intro to Steemit!!

Followed Brendan - looking forward to his first post ;-)

Me too hahaaa! As soon as we get the kids to bed it's ON! Full Steem Ahead!!

Thanks for reading and laughing with me and welcome your husband to Steemit for me.

Thank you, I will do, rock on! :) :) :)

Hahahahh @lyndsaybowes this post is awesome. You were right about this guy. Thanks for giving me a run down on how to operate as a minnow. I don't want to be "Pond Scum" lol. Thanks @luzcypher see you in your open mic!

Couldn't have said it much better my self. This was all pretty obvious to me when I first joined (critical thinking and observation) but its obviously not obvious to many hahahaha. This is yet another useful post and yet another example of how u live your advise. I have witnessed you since u first joined helping out and being a contributing member of this community rather than someone who is just trying to get something out of it.
I have already been following u for a long time and now that I am back on steemit I am sure we will be interacting quite a bit as u are the type I like to interact with. U can count on continued support from me.
Best Regards~*~

Where have you been? It has been a while since I saw you in my feed. Up to some cool adventure, I hope. I'm down in Mexico now and loving it.

Thanks for the kind words and hope to read some new posts from you and maybe even hear you jump on stage for Open Mic again, which is still going strong, with that didgeridoo of yours. That thing sounds so cool when you play it.

Yea I just made my frist 2 posts in 8 months!
I will surely be back on open mic soon!
Great to connect with u again Brotha!

Cool, I just jumped over and read your post on Diatomaceous Earth. Very cool. Good to see you posting again.

I really agree with what you say, "do not force others to follow you or you will endure the disappointment later.

Let alone leave a link on the comment just to want to get upvote from them, I really agree with you. How to work in steemit is to create good content, if we have done it, then our followers will increase by itself without us tell them, even we will get the result in the future.
I see a lot of new users do that, they do not know about how this steemit works. I hope with a notice like this they will understand and can make good content every day.
Thank you @luzcypher for sharing this information, this is very useful for me and society steemit all.

I can tell you get it. Thanks for reading this post and adding a great comment. You're a steemweaver.

Thanks again for your compliments this ^ _ ^


Now I've just joined what appears to be the beginning of a revolutionary platform. And I was about to get busy on my first post titled, Fat, Sick, Hopeless n Broke to, well who cares right now, it's not important, because I skimmed across this... "Be the real deal". Now I don't know if I'm the only one that is in this room that understood that, but my eyes have been starched open because those 3 words are the ingredients to life! Those 3 ingredients will give you access to freedom, to a life YOU dreamed of inside, to a genuine personality. Those 3 ingredients will give you the code to control YOUR OWN DESTINY! Now that might sound a little far fetched, but I shit you not, if you add those ingredients into you life, all of the above will happen. Being YOUR own real deal is the most awesome high you'll ever be able to experience Thanks @luzcypher you made my day! Thank you so much - And to the person that immediately asked for an upvote, I'm visualising you already in that brand new convertable counting those steem dollars, you can do it!

Be the you that you really are.
Mozart wasn't trying to be Mozart.
Lada Gaga isn't trying to be Lada Gaga.

Life is so much easier when you just be yourself. Besides, everyone else is taken.

The brain is just a part of the body, it has a function like your arm. The brain is able to learn it's awesome. I suppose it's the same as the vehicles on-board computer, only a real kick ass computer with features beyond our technological abilities and thoughts. It has one glitch though... most of them learn how to drive on auto pilot. For the universe that causes a few problems. It means that we have a lot of empty cars driving around that are not controlled by the driver, they just follow the route they were told to take and never question anything they are told to do. When you decide to become yourself, you override and otherwise locked feature and realize that you are a god! You are not your brain, you are a soul. Achieving that can be the biggest gift for many and might take a lifetime to achieve. Some never find their way. Just telling yourself "Be the real deal" can help override those settings and find yourself. I'm lucky to have been born the real deal and I sometimes struggle looking at 'them' who have no driver.

Good tips, thanks! :)

Very useful post for not only every newbie but for everyone on Steemit, since these are unwritten virtues that need to be internalized if you wanna reach that Zen phase - completely forget about the money and focus entirely on creating cool content for the community.

Everything else follows automatically if you concentrate more on innovating. In fact, that's an important lesson for life in general! Even more inspired to STEEM on!

Money follows value, not the other way around.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

completely forget about the money and focus entirely on creating cool content for the community

Thanks @luzcypher! Indeed, that is the true secret for success. Looking forward to your next post!

I couldn't agree more. As a minnow (first 3 days)-- I am quickly seeing that comments are where the magic happens. I don't see why people waste the opportunity to add something valuable to a post -- instead they just say "Please follow me". Just because you act politely doesn't mean I will follow you! I just assume those comments are made by bots and don't reply.

Exactly. They are bot or at least they are thinking like bots. Someone made a comment below doing exactly what this post said not to do. How much you want to bet it happens again?

Welcome to Steemit and thanks.

The only people who upvote those posts are probably other bots. Bot on bot action seems to be alive and well up in here.

Bot of course it is.

Good tips brotha we definitely have a lot of newbies joining!

Yep, that's a good thing. More unique content coming in. Love it.

First, I would like to thank you for writting this , i have been wanting to write this for a few weeks, but im not a good writer i just do photography and art. i have had some new people spamming my post , but they quit after i asked them to. And if any new user wants to complain go back to my first 100 or so post and look at the abuse and name calling and a few certain people trying to get me to leave steemit.
Anyway Great Post , Upvoted and Followed.

Glad you stuck around.

Thank You , I am too :)

Great topic

Hope from all fllow us and vote

your info is really useful, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the tips @luzcypher. Reading that your first 4 posts on here didn't receive anything and that you stuck at it and now you're rocking it is a great example of persistence and motivation. It's so easy for a newbie here to feel lost after spending a lot of time on their initial post(s) and then watch it get diluted very quickly in the crowd. Upvoted and was already following you because I like what you're doing for original music on here with your open mic curation.

Good tips!

I liked that quote about persistence

Thanks for sharing this @luzcypher
I'm just seeing this and.. You just made my day.

Thanks for your hard hitting assessment! Really helpful.

Thank you. I realize in some of my posts I've been making borderline mistakes.

Glad this post helped

Thank you ! ;p

You're very welcome and welcome to Steemit.

Upvoted and followed. Please follow me back!


LOL - Joking, and thanks for the mention! Great advice, and keep it up @luzcypher!

HaHaHa! You're so funny, bro. I learned a lot of these tips from you among others. Thanks for all you do and who you are. Love you.

Everyones learns from The Papa haha

That's right. Papa knows best.

I thought of saying the same thing hahahaha

thanks for this post. it was very helpful because I just joined like an hour ago :D

Cool. Welcome to Steemit. You're going to love it here.

good tips.. thank you @luzcypher

You're most welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Same brother, i'm following you please follow me and give me upvoted

You're kidding, right? Did you actually read this post? NO, you did not.

How do I know you did not read it? Because the first tip I wrote about is titled:

Don't Ask Anyone To Follow You

Adding a comment asking someone to follow you on a post that is about not asking someone to follow you is exactly the noobie mistake this post is intended to help you not make.

Please read this post. Better yet, unfollow me right now. I don't want followers like you thank you very much.

Of course I read a friend, because I always follow every post you ,, sorry if there is a wrong word

OK, maybe there is a breakdown between our languages. Let me explain again. Asking someone to follow you is a noobie mistake that this post was about to help you avoid making. Asking someone to follow you...

just annoys the hell our of whales or anyone that has been here for a while and labels you as f4f, or a follow for follow. You may have heard that a minnow is a new person on Steemit, right? Well, an f4f'er is like pond scum. Something you scrape off your shoe and forget about.

So, don't beg or even ask people to follow you. Understand? It only hurts you on Steemit. Go read the post again to fully understand.

Haha I thought he was trolling you.

one moral of the story, don't be a Debbie Downer (snl character) and you should be just fine here. I have been on Steemit for just over 1 week and talked to alot of cool people so far, really happy i found this place.

This is the coolest game online I think. loving the content and there are some very cool people on here.

Thank you for the advice!

You're welcome. Thanks for reading it.

Minor typo "Steemit know one knows" - sorry I haven't figured out how to pm on Steem yet. Nice post :)

Thanks for pointing that out to me. Much appreciated.

Thank you for this post and good tips :)

I just joined Steemit today and that was one of the first things I was wondering about. I can't stand the F4F whoring on Insta and wondered what would prevent that here. Great post, thank you.

Nothing prevents it here but it does not work at all. What I mean by it not working is the whales will ignore you, and no one will read your posts let alone upvote them. Make your writing make them want to follow you.

How do you incorporate images in your post? Do you have any step by step guide?

Here you go:

and this should help too:

https://www.steemithelp.net/#/new-page-1/

Great tips. Lot's of new people fall f4f only to realise later they made a big mistake.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make here.

Indeed it is.

I am thankful for all the helpful posts there is for new steemers. Grateful for the tips.

Welcome and thanks for reading it. Have fun on Steemit.

Some good advice here. Good points. It starts to get a little annoying and ruins the whole experience when people do consistently do things wrong or start begging.

I agree. It has really just started getting that way with all the new users coming in.

terima kasih banyak atas ilmunya, moga tetap bertambah pengalaman dan ilmu yang kamu miliki.

Gracias amigo!

Good writing, suggestions that can be used for new members, to better the future

Excellent post luzcypher - I'm glad Lyndsay indirectly pointed me here. I like the kind of humor spice you've added to this steemy soup ;-)

Slurp. Cool, what do you think of Steemit so far?

Hehe - it looks like I have joined Steemit even before you did?

Well - I spent a ton of time to get into the mind of Dan Larimer - the brain behind Steemit, while also familiarize myself with the underlying blockchain technology as I discovered that every single financial institution on the planet is jumping on the blockchain wagon - for at good reason. The reason is called DISRUPTION ... of the entire economic global structure I might add.

Then I got interrupted last year for several months because I was stuped enough to spend a ton of time trying to help the Jill Stein campaign - despite me being an anti-statist.

So coming back into the tech a few months ago and witnessing that about 1 billion fiat dollars are being poured into the crypto space since about 2,5 months EVERY SINGLE day gave me the signal that something is up.

So now that I want back following Stan Larimer - Dan's father and the godfather of bitshares I realized that indeed something is in the air.

The short story of it is here: http://www.sovereignhero.com/thehero/

In other words Steemit, Bitshares as well as Dan's EOS that is being launched this monday are part of backing the new economy by the people backed with honest money.

Dan's concept of the DAO will make sure that it will be unstoppable - unless a bug down the road might cause a problem. But I keep the faith that this time the games are in favor of the people - and not the 0,000001 %

My intention is putting my ideas to the table how Steemit and Steemians can help the cause if they like while helping themselves even more beyond the content creation and sharing ;-)

My intention is putting my ideas to the table how Steemit and Steemians can help the cause if they like while helping themselves even more beyond the content creation and sharing

And how do you plan on doing that?

Several step process I will be working out and present when I'm ready with it.

thank you for sharing

What great advice! I was going to write something like "Hi, I really like the way you wrote this post and can relate to the ideas you shared about, blah, blah, blah...", but seriously, pond scum is an awesome term I hadn't heard before for the f4f'er movement, which I've seen a ton of lately, like voting for people just cause they're from the same country as you (so embarrassing being from the same country as a bunch of new users pushing the f4f idea)

Keep it steemy people, and scrape that pond scum off your boot! Hahaha!

Some great advice there i appreciate you taking the time to share this. It help as I have made some mistakes. Thanks.

"You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar

This seems to be the core philosophy here. Everyone so far has been very helpful and has given clear directions on where to find the answers to the questions that are being asked. The trail is being paved with all te tools and hints to be happy on this platform and as a bonus, justly rewarded. So, thanks for the post.

It's a fun place to be online right now.

Thanks for this post! Needed to hear it. I am not new to Steem I joined July 2016 but lately I have had "posters block"...is that a thing? hahaha. Feeling motivated now! :)

Awesome post man! I really enjoyed reading through it :) Thank you for putting this up. I would give you my vote but it's only worth 1 cent haha. However, I will be more than happy to resteem and follow you.

I am new here as well, 10 days old, and getting so very close to my first 100 followers. Hopefully my content will attract more people as time goes by, but we'll have to see :)

For now, I wish you all the best @luzcypher
