Hello, Jordan, and welcome to Steemit.
Thanks for the interesting intro. Judging from the style / quality / content of this post, I'm sure you'll be able to bring much to this platform, and also benefit from your posting and curating.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 10–20 photographs and a vid or 2, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include plenty of text to complement the photos. Anything from background info about the subject, to personal details about your experience. As long as you have a fine balance between images and text, you'll get a better response.
- Ensure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
- Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Wow, majes! Thanks so much for all this amazing info! I'll definitely use it to my advantage. Really, really appreciate it. :)
My pleasure. I scratch your back, and .... whatever happens thereafter is fine with me.
Also, here's a link to a recent post of mine, about HOW TO ENLARGE photos and images on Steemit. Few Steemians use this function, probably because they do not know how to do it. But it adds a great feature to any post.

Hope this works for you.
And here's another traveller who's part of my community –– @travelman. He writes interesting and informative posts about his travels through SE Asia and beyond. Check out his blog.
Awesome man. I was actually trying to figure this out when I was making this post! Thanks for the links!
I spent months trying to figure it out. Once I did, I figured I'd share the process. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks again @majes.tytyty!
