Introduction to "From Minnow to Dolphin"


We have decided to create this series of posts so that minnows can know how to earn money in a good way by posting quality content on the Steem Blockchain. This posts will cover from the very start in which you first enter your Steem account and are addressed for minnows who won't be investing in Steem but still they want to grow their account in an organic way.

The #introduceyourself post


This is the first post that you will create as a new member of the Steem community so instead of posting it right away you need to do a couple of things first:

1-Familiarize with the Steem Blockchain ecosystem


Before writing your first post you need to understand how this social media works because it differs substantially from other such as Facebook, there are a lot of good posts explaining the functioning of each of them so we'll provide you with a list of things you need to learn about:

  • Basic knowledge of HTML to know how to create titles, paragraphs...
  • The economy of Steem: Steem, SBD and Vests (SP)
  • Witnesses
  • Post rewards
  • Bandwidth limitations
  • Passwords: Owner Key, Posting Key, Memo Key and Active Key
  • Alternatives to Steemit for posting
  • Dapps on Steem: Dtube, Utopian-io, Dlive, Dsound...
  • Flags and upvotes
  • 2- Decide your niche and language

    Before writing your #introduceyourself post you need to know what is the content you'll be writing about and the language you'll use. English is the most used language in Steem so if you wanna target a larger audience you will have to write in English, however if your English writing skills are not good enough you should write on your native language and make yourself a place within that language community, you may not have such a large audience to target but if your posts are not well written it won't matter the language you are using because readers won't be able to understand your posts therefore leaving you with non-quality posts. If you can't write a quality post in English you should then write your posts in your native language. Choosing a niche is another thing you must decide, the most discussed topic nowadays in Steem is cryptocurrency because after all Steem is a cryptocurrency itself and it has the larger audience, however you can still write posts on other niches if you are more comfortable with them. To sum up, you should choose the language and niche that fits you best.

    3- Decide if you want to reveal your identity or not

    From the first day you need to decide whether you want to reveal your identity (Full name, photo...) or remain anonymous, this decision is up to you.

    Write the #introduceyourself post


    Now that you've learned about the functioning of Steem, selected your niche and language and decided whether you wanna remain anonymous or not it is time to write your first post, there are two models you can follow depending on whether you decided to remain anonymous or not.

    Model Number 1: If you decided to disclose your identity


    If you want to reveal your identity all you need to do is write about:

  • Who are you?
  • How did you heard about Steem and decided to sign up?
  • Where are you from?
  • Which type of content will you be uploading to the platform?
  • Model Number 2: If you want to remain anonymous

    If you want to remain anonymous all you need to do is write about:
  • Which type of content will you be uploading to the platform?
  • Considering you only have one question to talk about you'll need to be precise and give details about the upcoming content that you'll be posting on your blog.

    Considerations to take before publishing it

  • See if your post is aesthetically appealing to the reader
  • Search for grammar mistakes
  • Make sure you've included all you want and nothing but what you want
  • Congratulations you now have published your first post!

    Advices after publishing the post

  • Answer all comments that you may receive
  • Don't get nervous if the post isn't succesful, it is normal for an introduceyourself post to not be succesful
  • You are now an official member of Steem, in the future we will be posting a continuation of this post about how you can grow in Steem without investing anything.

    Happy burning time,

    Sort:  

    I was a minnow but not anymore 😂

    Because you post quality content 😂.

    because he flags other people's nice content and is @lrd's pet or kissass

    hmm how about you go look your content and think about following things: Spam Plagiarsm. "Nice Content" and im now a minnow anymore cause i powered down like 100STEEM :)))) (flaged btw false claims)

    Thanks heaps @lrd I was just reading something very similar on another blog. Some great quality here for moving up the ranks

    More posts like this will come so that minnows know how to grow organically by posting quality content.

    Some good advice there.

    I placed a bid on your bot last round but it seems like your bot may have forgotten to give me a vote.

    Can you give me the link of the post and the tx id of your bid?
    PS: I am the owner of the @lrd Bid-Bot

    You have received your vote already, check the post again.

    You are correct. The error was on my end.

    I sent your bot to the Free crypto promotion that I closed instead of the new Free crypto topic I just started.

    • Sorry for the confusion.

    hye @lrd after getting my 1sbd you black listed me .ok you can enlist in your blacklist . but please refund .

    Very good information, and very well documented. Although the post is old I thank you for this valuable information and I will give you resteem if i can, this type of content is important to be known in steemit.
