Well, (I know I’m new to this platform but) I feel so lost here. Feels like I’m floating in the middle of a large unknown unmet crowd. I think feeling like this in the very beginning is normal for every new Steemian. So let me give a try to survive here 🙆🏻♀️
Plus I updated my profile picture and the cover image but still it didn’t appear or I can’t see my own? 😂
Welcome to the platform. I wish everything work out for you.
Yeyy thank you so much! See ya again =]
Welcome to steemit family! Good luck! I am sure that you will fully enjoy your journey here:)
Yea I also hope so. Thank you so much!
Welcome to steemit @ruwi I feel you, when I first joined steemit I don't know where to go but there are some tutorials provided and my partner help me understand how steemit works. You should take it easy at first. =)
Yea actually this was my partner’s idea but now he’s so damn busy so I don’t think he can help me with this. Should find some tutorials myself :”) Thank you so much for the heads up!
@Mountainwashere's Guide for New Users:
Welcome to Steemit! It's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. The biggest secret to success? Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments.
Tagging is extremely important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general (so long as it's still relevant) to fill the quota if you need to- most of your tags should be established ones, though one or two less used ones are fine.
Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so you should try to post often.
Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be a photo of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.
There are a lot of really good resources out there for plankton and minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources:
@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group that can help out in a lot of ways.)
@qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.)
@steembasicincome (Another lifetime upvote option.)
@steemstem (The biggest and best STEM curation group in the game. If you're interested in writing or reading about science, check these guys out!)
@geopolis (A fairly new science curation group, this one's dedicated to the study of the Earth.)
@ocd (A curation group that seeks out undervalued new writers.)
And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way to success through perseverance and hard work. It takes time, but you'll eventually succeed if you put in the work.
Please feel free to repost this guide on the posts of other plankton & minnows you run into (though I'd appreciate it if you credit me.) If it was useful to you, feel free to check out my posts and give me a follow!
Hey! Thank you so much for this info! 😁☺️
