Hello, Alisar, and Welcome to Steemit (a prime location-independent community).
It's clear that you have plenty to offer this community, whether it's about escaping the rat race or about boards. And you'll certainly find much that will interest you.
As a teacher, writer, editor, I love to read and learn. So when Steemers post high-quality material with interesting content and beautiful images to provide some accent, I read and appreciate their efforts.
Hoping to see more fine posts from you, too!
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 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Be yourself.
- Be interesting and informative.
- 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!
Your comment was more than I could ask for! So, thank you! I will take everything you have said into consideration and make the post much better!
One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 2 contests.
