Hello Steemit, lets get this journey started!

[sidvrma]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and get this amazing journey started.

My name is Sid and I live in Dubai currently. I love travel photography, watching all major sports, looking at maps (who else does that? :) haha), and designing cool powerpoint presentations.

I am an entrepreneur and run an urban farming company. Really interested in enabling disadvantaged communities improve livelihoods through sustainable agriculture. Currently working on setting up a cooperative of small farmers in the rural areas of higher Himalayas, India for growing high value and nutritious produce.

I would love to engage with you all, so please feel free to ask me anything!

Cheers,
Sid

Hello sidvrma! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
