Thank you so much! I look forward to learning.
Anytime - If you have 5-10 minutes to read this post and more importantly the comments and interactions from new users and the more seasoned Steemit users you can learn a lot about how to start earning some decent rewards from day one and how not to get discouraged when posting well written, creative, image filled posts that generate only a few cents at first.. Check it out - i wish I had read something similar when I first joined Steemit. https://steemit.com/steemit/@krytonika/creating-content-vs-commenting-for-minnows-is-this-the-question-or-answer
Thanks for the guidance! I will totally read this. And I appreciate any other tips you might think of!
Ok i am back already, i read it! I wanted to come back and say that while the money is completely appealing, what has me the most excited about Steemit is the pressure that is placed on authentic connections. Most other social media spaces reward users for flattening and simplifying one's personality, to turn oneself into a "brand" first, and then go out there and sell your brand. That all feels so hollow and alienating to me, that I never last long under that polished one-dimensional image. I am always struggling with how to deal with the "artist" side of me and the "counselor in a school" side... etc. Sometimes I have tried making separate blogs to try and capture these different aspects. Or like on facebook i have like 3 different pages representing my "businesses." It feels goofy! So, I want to see if my whole self can exist on a single platform. I will continue this comment in a post soon but I just wanted to say thank you again for the link. It was very helpful, and only made me feel all the more interested in Steemit.
What is the best way to ask people questions? Is it best to reply like this, or is there a chat.. or maybe theres a tag i should follow? Thanks!
Hey - Sorry I missed your reply!! I try to respond to all but this one had got lost in the replies feed. My apologies
To answer your question I suppose I depends on what the question is -
If it's a general question about Steemit or a somewhat popular topic on here I would search a newer post and comment with your question to the author. (Sometimes they'll respond and some do not - most do tho)
Also if you already started a convos with someone - the way you responded to my last comment is fine because it will show up in my replies feed - I just happened to miss yours incidentally
Lastly - if you want an immediate response or possibly multiply views - try using Steemit.chat or Discord. Many Steemit users gravitate towards Discord it seems to chat and make new connections - I hope that helps and hope you are enjoying Steemit @dflo
I haven't seen any of your posts on my feed lately but I'm going to take a look now at your blog - sometimes I rarely see my fav bloggers because I'm following too many ppl - prob need to downsize my following list :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Hey thanks for your thoughtful reply. I found Discord the other day and am now in PAL (Minnow Support) and that has helped tremendously with my questions. I also seem to not see everyone's posts in my feed. When you tag people like you tagged me in your comment, where does that mention show up? I found your comment by reading my Reply area, but I still don't know where a @dflo mention pops up?
Hey anytime and so glad ya found the Discord channel :)
I'm not in front of a desktop at the moment but on the eSteem app there is a tab on the right of your user screen that looks like a bar graph - if you have the eSteem app you can find your @mentions there -
There are a few things like
Votes
Mentions
Reblogy
Follows
Etc
I'm positive on the destop platform there is a tab for it as well I just can't visualize it at the moment :)
Hope that helps #esteem
Maybe its because i am on a Mac? I just have in the menu i click on via my profile pic
Feed
Blog
Comments
Replies
Wallet
etc.
then theres another menu next to that with
Welcome
FAQ
Post
Stolen Accts Recovery
etc.
Or maybe its Chrome?
I dont see anywhere that has the ones you listed
The ones I listed were from the #esteem app for Apple iPhones or Androids at the Google Play Store..
See if you can download it for your phone - if you can there are extra incentives to do so from the app developer @good-karma
Thanks @krytonika ! Can you help just a little more and help me find where / how to get the incentives offered by #esteem ?
