Hey everyone,
I have done two posts today and both had questions from new users. Which is totally cool, ask away on any of my posts :). So I figured I would start a post where you can ask my anything about the site and I will do my best to answer it. I will probably be on for a couple of hours at least . I do not work for steemit but I have been on for some time and I keep my eyes and ears open to figure out how things work.
There has been changes over the months and as we are still in beta, there will be more changes to come. But for now, if you are wondering how something works, please feel free to ask.
And go :p.

Yea, what is this Stemeit thing?
Magic, wow 67 rep for a new user, good work @neoxian :P
What is the easiest way to get the numbers up?
Which numbers? Post quality and post often. And make sure you put up a profile picture and make a #introduceyourself post.
Basically the money numbers, but I really don't understand any of it.
Is there a steemit for dummys?
I haven't done an actual "introduce yourself" post. How important is it? And has it been to long since joining for me to do one now?
@sarahsayjay, the "introduceyourself" post is so very important. You actually have a chance as a lowly "27" to make a few hundred dollars if you really put some effort into that post. I screwed my own, twice.
Have someone take a great picture of you, holding a little sign that states your name and the date. Use plenty of pictures showing you having a good time or enjoying your hobbies.
Tell the community why you are interesting and what you are planning to bring to the platform. Most importantly, keep it upbeat. You can advance with this one post as much as you might with your next 100, so make sure it's everything you want it to be.
Sorry to step on your post @whatageek.
No no, this is great advice and the more people helping the better :)
There is no time limit, you can do one whenever. You do not have to do one but they have a good chance of getting upvotes and making you some steem.
Thanks! Enjoying your posts!
Thank you :)
Nice post.
Is Santa real?
Yes and he works for steemit, that's why you get money.
lol
When entering a new post, is the title more important, or the first picture, or the small introduction, below the title that attracts the most attention to your post?
How important is the number of followers to your blog?
Thank you !!!!
Your title and photo are the most important when getting views. They are what people are seeing before they decide to click on it. You want to be honest but try to get peoples attention. When someone follows you they see your post in the home page, so it depends on who is following you and if they use their home tag.
Thank you, I will follow and appreciate your advice in this world we call Steemit
Upvoted & RESTEEMED!
Thank you :)
Another ? for @whatageek, I live in Dubai, 8 time zones ahead of the USSA, eastern time zone. As I post during the day, it seems like I get few views. I believe most of the Steemit community in in the US, so my post are not new and way down the chain to get current views. ?, would it be more productive to post is the evening, as the USSA wakes up, or post more on the weekend as people have more leisure time to look at blogs. Thanks.......!!!
How do you get laid through steem?
