You are most likely new to steemit and still need to get the hang of things around here, but that is okay.

We are a loving community and we want to see what matters to you. So to get you started and known here, I am launching a giveaway.

Hey Guys! 🍀

I am a new user in my first 24 hours of Steemit, but loving it so far 😍

I have introduced myself already, and here is my only other post of original content at the moment: https://steemit.com/credit/@hannahlicious/six-magic-credit-cards-hacks-to-save-you-money-usdusdusd

I wrote about ways that people could use their credit card to their advantage to save themselves money - I wrote this because I work in customer service for a credit card company and I feel like I can give you guys a couple of really useful insider tips that may help you save a few 💲

Both Crypto and Steemit are all about speculating to accumulate so I feel like being able to save a few $ on your other financial products is worth mentioning here too :)

Hope you like my post, I am excited to read other peoples content and learn more about Crypto!!

💜 💙 💚 💛 💗

Lovely, I am new user. I will follow you, please follow me back! I post contents everyday! :)

Hi all, I am cantribute and joined 6 days ago. I wrote a nice opening post, which I submit for this contest https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@cantribute/i-think-of-myself-not-just-as-a-dreamer-but-as-a-dream-chaser

Hey, great post. Just read it, and upvoted you. I am new user too. I will follow you, please follow me back! I post contents everyday! :)

I hope you have a nice day!

Welcome to the family @shenchris :) I followed you :)

I think i meet the requirements - however i combined the introduceyourself with the original content post. I hope this is ok :\

Here's a link to the OC post which is also introduceyourself

https://steemit.com/steem/@dber/let-s-talk-about-taxes-2017613t316666z

I decided to write about tax implications because:
A) i'm a nerd and the topic interests me
B) if i surpass a threshold of success in this community then it could also affect me directly. And;
C) It is super relevant to the STEEMIT community and searching for past posts on the topic revealed the most popular one to be almost a year old and,i think, dangerously incorrect.

Thanks!

Edit - Actually, I changed the post I would love a whale upvote for: do this one instead if I'm not to late to change it: https://steemit.com/science/@dber/piqued-1-the-big-problem-with-interstellar-travel-or-why-you-will-never-see-alpha-centauri-in-person

Prouder of that one

Thanks again.

Looking forward to following you. Very interesting, and necessary. I'm sure I'll be upvoting you. Good luck!

Hi guys I'm super excited to be on Steem and i can't wait to learn, make great friends, share my experiences and make money all at the same time. Fellow minnows, i urge you to vote for this post so i can get the whale vote. I look forward to your support.

Thanks whales for supporting us minnows.

Hey! Checkout blog post on Steem https://steemit.com/life/@adnil/teletubbies-tribute-2017613t131051368z

Both of my children were huge fans of those weird puffy creatures! That show always sort of creeped me out, but then again I grew up watching the Road Runner, Woody Wood Pecker and all of the Loonytoons . Must have warped my childhood brain!

Why would they freak you out? Lol😂... Also i only know Loony Toons from the ones you watched as a kid. At least we know the thrill cartoons have on children☺

Hey

So far Im loving steem. So many interesting posts and a open community.
Here is my post
https://steemit.com/travel/@dorman/my-journey-through-thailand

I decided to post about traveling since I love it and hope to inspire others to just go out there and explore.
Now im looking forward to reading more on steem and educating myself about crypto (the reason I found and joined this community).

Cheers dorman

Great idea!!! and i think I qualify :) Please check out my 2nd post - really proud of the pictures in this one!

Hello dear Steemians,

I'm so excited to be a part of this wonderful community that finds avenues to encourage and support newbie writers like me. Steemit has so much potential to go big Big BIG BIGGG!

I just got started here, and don't have many followers yet. So, this 'Welcome Giveaway' certainly is a warm welcome to me. I'm not too sure which post I should link, so I am just going to link both:-

  1. Introductory post of me..more about me blah blah blah..thank you for reading.
    https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@foodie.warrior/baby-steemian-crawling-through-please-guide-me-through-this-world

  2. Here's my first foodie post: https://steemit.com/food/@foodie.warrior/foodie-warrior-2-now-i-know-bat-winged-steaks-exist

Food is really the most common language in humanity. It nourishes us, defines us, connects us, and has the potential to make us happy or dissatisfied.
When we talk about food, we find so much more than epic flavors, ingredients, and textures. I learn about tradition, about relationships, about memories, about cultural similarities and differences.
Think about it. Food is often used to mark special occasions, like birthdays, baby showers, weddings, new births, graduations, anniversaries, etc. It can also be offered as a comfort to someone who is going through a period of mourning. People can also control how they have their mealtimes, and food morphs from a mere necessity into an enabler of healthy conversation, in which families and friends catch up and share experiences.

I guess that's what makes me so passionate about food.

Thanks for eye-balling my post! :)

Hi there! I am a recent college graduate, I just ended my first career because I have big dreams of starting a successful fashion blog. I am currently unemployed and working on building content for my blog. I model clothing that I have received from brands that I enjoy, and work on my own photographs because I cannot currently afford an editor. I studied photography in college and received a degree in fine art. I hope that this can become a platform where I am able to share what I am working on in return for some awesome and helpful feedback!

Here is my introduction post :)
https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@alexandraahill/stop-comparing-and-be-proud-of-who-you-are

https://steemit.com/homesteading/@slhomestead/a-new-beginning-part-ii-video

This is our second post, and probably the most meaningful video my husband and I have ever made. In order to get to this point, we both quit our jobs, moved our family over several state lines, shed our suburban-born skins, and are doing our best to learn how to emerge as booted, flannel-clothed, homesteading butterflies. We're doing all we can to take responsibility for our own finances, family, health, food needs, and water as we scratch out a self-sustainable homestead in the Ozarks! We have a LOT of ground to cover as we try to learn all the skills that most folks used to know until about 150 years ago, but it's worth the adventure for sure!

The online homesteading and DIY community has been an amazing support and teacher through this. We are glad that we can contribute back by sharing our story, successes and ..."learning moments." And we're so happy to be here.

This post received a 43% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @reggaemuffin! For more information, click here!

I've just started steam. I look forward to the experience. I'm a depression and BPD patient and I find peace of mind in singing and songwriting. These are lyrics of a song I've written. I hope you find them enjoyable.

Hi groovy Steemians. I’m really excited to join your community. After the passing of my best friend, I went from living a carefree life as an American girl in Europe roaming from one movie set to the next on the back of my boyfriend’s motorcycle to returning home to the United States to deal with the loss of someone I have long called a sister. Since then, I’ve tried to spend as much time with my family and friends as possible, especially my brothers, who I was close to growing up. When an annual horror movie convention that they attend every year came to town, I decided to go with them. It was the topic of my first post on Steemit. So while the post may seem frivolous and even humorous, the event actually had profound meaning. The post, entitled The Adorable Freddy Krueger, A Day with my Horror Fanatic Brothers, is here:

https://steemit.com/life/@aescholer/the-adorable-freddy-krueger-a-day-with-my-horror-fanatic-brothers

My introduceyourself post is here:

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@aescholer/sad-girl-empowerment-introducing-myself-to-all-the-groovy-steemians

I invite everyone to check it out and also to follow me. Along with trying to connect with fellow Steemians, with the support of my brothers, I’m also trying to raise money to begin developing documentaries on the empowerment of women, so any upvotes are greatly appreciated. Take care! Lots of love. @aescholer

Hi there! I think I meet the requirements. I hope you like my post, I think it is something totally different than most of the other topics here. It is about a new trend sport in Germany.

https://steemit.com/sports/@markus.hiesmair/introducing-a-new-trend-sport-four-table-tennis-a-mix-between-tennis-and-table-tennis

I live in Austria, and we play this sport like crazy all the time and we will even play on the Pro Tour this year and on the World Championships next year. I just wanted to introduce this cool sport to other people which might also enjoy it as much as I do ;) And maybe there will be new nations at the World Championships then (right now there are only players from a few European countries)

Hope you enjoy reading (and watching it :)

Hi y'all!
Just joined yesterday :)

Made a post about how Steemit helps (probably not only) me with self-improvement and how the community add to it :)

  • "Wrote a second post with original content about a topic that matters to you"

hmm It matters to me because...well its about self-improvement and like most people I too want to imrpove myself in both skill and character 🤔 Don't know what else to say about it mattering to me, I mean it IS an important topic, no? Ok, maybe its just me °n°

https://steemit.com/motivation/@tb-illsyore/self-improvement-with-steemit

Hello! Thanks a lot @reggaemuffin (upvoting, resteeming and following!). I am very glad to have a good outlet for my writing and thoughts. I will be posting every day for sure! One thing that has been on my mind is legalizing medical marijuana. I am all for it for people who need it, especially sick children, which is why I wrote this post:
kids.jpg

https://steemit.com/life/@amarie/should-pot-be-given-to-kids-with-cancer-or-epilepsy

Thanks everyone!

@Amarie

Hello guys,

Its a pleasure to be here! So i will mostly write about my view of life, self development, brain training, poker blogging, learning, some cryptocurrencies, trading and all the other things that comes to my mind. Maybe some travel/adventure/photography.

I'm just here to share the word!

Here's my intro post:
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@scrazy/robert-scrazy-szasz-journey

And here is my second post about the importance of a morning routine:
https://steemit.com/life/@scrazy/the-importance-of-morning-ritual-the-empowering-way-of-getting-up

Keep your heads up,
Robert

My second post is here:
The Importance of Taking a Vacation

This topic matters to me because I am a workaholic who discovered that without taking a break, you'll never reach your full potential. I hope you enjoy and can take away some useful ideas :)

Here is where I Introduced myself to the community

Thanks raggaemuffin! Here's the link to my post:

https://steemit.com/travel/@eitsky/chinese-new-year-fireworks-gambling-and-family-fun

I wrote about one of my first travel experiences here in China. It's a memory that's stayed with me for three reasons:

  1. The two other foreigners I was traveling with two of the closest friends I've met here. They've since departed China.

  2. It's the biggest holiday in China and I got to spend it with a Chinese family. It was a good feeling to be so warmly received and see the culture from within.

  3. Fireworks. Exploding everywhere. All over the city I was in. Who could forget that?

Thanks for doing this.. I have just started with Steem and Steemit. I am trying to post at least once a day with good original content. A whale upvote along with more followers would be great.

Here is a recent article I wrote that I hope inspires people:
https://steemit.com/life/@amexperts/mcmvl-work-less-and-live-more

Oh! Wow! @reggaemuffin this is awesome. Thank you 😀
If I am not mistaken I joined Steemit last 5th day of this month.
My first post with tag introduceyourself sounds great that there are people who cares about newbies. My big thanks to those who welcomed me! 😀
But the post that really matters to me was my 4th post tag history. Here's the link:
https://steemit.com/history/@shikika/119th-philippine-independence-day-june-12-2017
That will be my entry 😀 It makes me happy that fellow Steemians has been interested to what I post and makes me excited that I got 249 votes but sad to say it has only 66 eyeballs. It only means that only few read my post. Hopefully, with this awesome giveaway contest, Steemians will take a look of what our country is celebrating right now.
To give you some insights of our symbolic flag, see below,
The Flag of the Republic of the Philippines, representing the country is symbolized by the following:
Royal blue field – peace, truth, and justice.
Scarlet red field – patriotism and valor.
White triangle – equality and brotherhood.
Three stars on the corners of the triangle – the three main geographical regions of the country namely Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao.
The sun at the center of the triangle – has eight rays representing the eight Philippine provinces that started the revolt against Spain.

Happy Independence Day to us Filipinos! Mabuhay!

Thank you for reading! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

Nice idea! to the new members :D

I really like your article. Incredible, nothing else to add! I'm following you, hoping you will make it!

Wow! Nice thing. I am thrilled to be here.

Here is the chapter 1 of my novel which I have been working for quite some time.

Do tell if you like it :)

https://steemit.com/story/@mukund/the-turn-chapter-1-my-thriller-novel

Boy I have a lot to learn here! I had to redo my intro twice (Thanks to fellow steemers who pointed out my error in tags and content). I now think I have done it correctly and it's still a few hours before my 7 day join time expires. All the posts I've made matter to me, I say that honestly. But I'm picking this one because it shows a part of my life where I've spent a great deal of time and effort. It also shows my feelings about music performance and technology. Hope you enjoy hearing about it. https://steemit.com/bass/@erolsommer/bands-with-pre-recorded-tracks-nah-i-prefer-to-play-the-parts-myself-using-a-roland-synth-bass

Awesome! Support for the minnows

Hello, just followed you. Please, check my profile :) Thank you!

A special poetry for you that miss your past days but can't do anything about it

Hi, this is a nice idea! I started with Steemit the beginning of this month. I love music, so I wrote one of my first serious post about my favorite music subject: The Music of the Spheres.

https://steemit.com/history/@musicolo/musica-universalis-it-s-all-in-the-numbers

Well, since I still am eligible, I will link the following - https://steemit.com/whaleshares/@qadesh/whaleshare-writing-contest-what-you-can-do-to-benefit-the-community-of-steemit

It's an entry for a contest, but the post should be relevant to both new and more advanced users.

Good luck to all participants.

Can you join in again if you joined in last week?

As long as you did not win last week and still pass the requirements

Ok then I will not apply again I won a 10% whalevote thank you

Hi everyone really excited to get to know the community more and to get more involved. Being an early adopter really excited me and I hope to learn a few things and gain some experience along the way!

My introduction post has already been posted and me second post is here:
https://steemit.com/travel/@wanderlustayne/freedom-is-sipping-cappuccino-in-san-francisco-not

I wrote about my trip to San Francisco and the very apparent homelessness issues it holds and how my experience being there really got me thinking about others and caring for the less fortunate.

I have upvoted a few posts already and found them so interesting! I hope someone find enjoyment from my post.

Hi there :)

Thanks for the opportunity!!! Super excited!

The post I have chosen to link is very close to my heart as it is about a life lesson journey for my little 7 year old son. I believe it is so important for kids to be taught gratitude so I decided to create a 30 day gratitude challenge for him. We filmed it too and uploaded it to his new Youtube channel. I really hope you enjoy it :)

https://steemit.com/kids/@jaynie/jude-s-30-day-gratitude-challenge

Gratitude...such an important thing for kids to be taught! I was a middle school teacher, and I wish more parents took the time to really instill this in their kids.

Hi there, very cool to read about this awesome initiative to help us newbs out a bit here. :) I have posted an introduction (part 1 of 5), posted my first original content and have met all other requirements to take part in this Giveaway. The content I would like to share is all about the economic and political world today and my take on it. Followed by some of my views on how to mitigate the threats of today. Have fun reading guys and gals and looking forward to getting to know you and learn about your interests. Please see my post below.

Hi, I'm new to Steemit and I already love it ❤ I'm part of the Spanish speakers of Steemit. Yay! 😆

This is something about who I am https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ventanazul/asi-he-escrito-la-vida-leer-de-abajo-hacia-arriba

My first post talks about my experience with LSD, sensations before, during and after the trip. https://steemit.com/spanish/@ventanazul/next-step-trip-trip-trip

I hope to find us on my blog 💜

Good afternoon fellow Steemians 😇

I recently joined Steem - about 5 days ago. I enjoy every min on here and I'm always looking forward to whats next. With that said, I've made a few posts and connected with a quite a few members whom share similar interests and hobbies which is fantastic.
Today I received this auto-mated reply to one of my posts and thought why not give it a shot and share that same post here with other newer members of the community.

One of the members who I follow asked a question about emoji's and why they're not really easy to use - There's no GUI or dropdown on steem yet to add emoji's to your story.

So I did up a quick and short list of some smiley face emoji and a few other random ones along the HTML input for the unicodes. I also added a link to the emojipedia so you can go and grab other ones you may like and add them to your stories.

All you have to do is copy the HTML code and end it with a semi-colon and bingo you get a cool little emoji for your story : )

Check out my post for a quick cheat sheet, and if you enjoyed or this helped you out share it with your friends.

Hi
New to steemit, ready to explore it. I have met the requirements and the reason that because i thought it is something original and something new
here is the link https://steemit.com/travel/@rafster/why-is-dubai-so-famous

Okay I’m going to link to this post since it is the most representative of what I intend to consistently contribute: https://steemit.com/crypto/@cryptographic/if-you-like-dash-you-just-got-to-love-pivx

The format used here is fairly close to the template outline: tell everyone about something I like - usually a crypto currency, asset or token, but not always - explain what I like best about it, and then tell you what I did and a little about how I did it and what my thinking was.

My motivation is to share my knowledge and contribute the best I can towards popularizing crypto as a legitimate money alternative, and I figure that focusing on the positives just might be a very good way to do that. :-)

That’s pretty much it: inviting you to share in this little part of my world that delves into "crypto", which is everything else but small.

Fun idea, this giveaway - thanks!

I just wrote my second post: Barefootin' in the city – and I think I qualify for the giveaway. I just started barefoot walking again, and I am loving it! I hope someone finds my post inspiring.

Oh, I miss barefoot walking. I used to do it all the time. How is it going in the city? I'm curious what challenges you've found there, particularly with other people's litter.

Oh Steem is really a place of love!

Here's the link of my post: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@aaronli/my-second-introducemyself-post-i-want-to-share-my-life-of-trough-i-was-cheated-and-got-a-debt-of-us-usd60k

It's about my life being cheated, having debt of US$60000, I fell down and I get up again. I want to share my experience to my friends here and wish them not having the same silly thing like me!

BAM BOOM POW!

https://steemit.com/funny/@chuckypita/what-the-steem-is-going-on-around-here

I wrote the post because I want others to see enthusiasm and excitement when they interac.... wait a second, "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!"

I wrote it for sh**s and giggles! LOL

Hello @reggaemuffin , I saw your comment on my introducing myself video. I just made a second post and after I came to check this out. Lately I've been really into cryptocurrency and thats how I discovered steemit so I'm still figuring stuff out but I did my researsh. After looking into steem I found my love for social media wich I lost a few years ago. I think this is what social media should look like! So I was very excited about posting blogs on steemit. My blogs will mainly go about fitness and a healthy lifestyle in general. Might want to do some cryptotrading video's when I get the real hang of it. Thank you a lot for doing this, its nice to get some support when you try to get started.

Thanks & keep steeming

Hi everyone, to start with I did what I needed to in order to fulfil the requirements. I’m posting here not for the reward, as life though me to enjoy the little things. I would like to show you my latest post:
https://steemit.com/writing/@suranel/rpg-s-relict-of-the-past-or-an-unexplored-territory

It’s about a long forgotten RPG games. Why it matters to me ? Well it’s been over 14 years since I started to play all kind of RPG scenarios with my friends. Throughout this time we learned about different mechanics, get to know each other and made ourselves trust each other. There are so many pros of playing Role Playing Games it is sure that another article will be out soon. So if you’re interested to get some dope knowledge of this topic I invite you to an unforgettable journey. Be sure to follow and stay tuned ;)

Cheers
