Hello @archiater. Welcome to (what I believe will become) the best social network on the internet! I know it seems like a like a lot to learn at the start, there are a couple of things you can do without much effort to start getting your followership up quickly.
this linkFirst, make sure to follow @bot-helper so you have a better chance at getting some exposure on your content. You can check out what I mean by taking a look at . Also consider following @minnowsunite and @minnowsupport
Next, take a look around the Steemit community and check out the chat rooms. You want to start getting known, so take a little time to chat with others and promote your introduction link (in the #postpromotion chatroom)
Finally, check out some of the tags and topics on the right side of the dashboard. Find a topic you are interested/knowledgeable in and start commenting. The more great comments you make, the better chance you have for people to start following you! Feel free to follow me as well (@randomness) so we can go on this journey together!
Good luck getting started and just remember to take it a day at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day!
Why thank you. Your extremely warm and informative welcome is sure to assist me in fitting in a little better around here. It's somewhat comforting to see the community here react in a very accepting manner, especially of the newer people. The communities that I once tended to frequent were, in a word, toxic. The atmosphere was inhospitable for anyone incapable of adapting to a place where anyone knew was figuratively crucified. I just hope to offer the same, warm courtesy that I have been granted. I've sent you a follow, and I hope to see you succeed.
You're very welcome! There is a great diversity in the stories and especially the intro posts. You can't help but start to understand that everyone comes with a unique perspective on life and their surroundings. Best of luck as you get settled into this platform! :-)
