Dear Steemit!
Happy One Month Anniversary for us.
From this platform I've learned so much about many things, about strangers become friends, plankton become whale, about having connection, increasing knowledge and so forth.
I've also understand that success needs a process. You have to work hard. You can't just instantly become whale in a month. If you do that's your fortune.
So, for new comers, just like me as well. As I'm celebrating my first Anniversary on Steemit, Let me tell you about do's and don'ts in this cool platform.
These are all based on my own observations during my blogging time on this cutting edge social media.
Don't be money-oriented person.
Dollar Dollar and Dollar
If this is your motivation, better change it immediately. You will fade up when you see no one upvote yours. Whatsoever in the first month of your blogging time where you have nobody who want to help you yet. You will get down. The big desire of having Dollar in a flash probably will drag you down.
Don't be arrogant.
I Don't Need You
If you do, I guess this platform is not the right place to stay. It is provided to build a community, friend and family. Being arrogant will stay you away from this community. If you have more Steem Power, don't be hesitate to give an upvote for a good content.
Don't be rude.
Giving Bad Comments to Others
Giving rude comments, being racist and didn't appreciate others, I'm warning you!
A flag is probably waiting for you, which means that it will make your reputation down. And having in this kind of condition might be hard to survive in this platform.
Don't spamming
SPAM SPAM SPAM
"Hi, nice post! ,Good, good job, amazing, vote me, follow back" and so on. This sort of messages easily will be detected by robots and they directly will give you a downvote. Be careful.
So then what you should do?
Read other steemians' posts
Reading to Understand not Reading to Comment
Read it comprehensively, then you can give your point of view about their writing. Correct it if they're wrong. I'm sure people will glad if someone pay attention on his/her writing by giving a feed back on it. Rather than just saying Hi, nice, amazing, etc. Build a relationship.
Giving comments politely
Polite
Choose polite words in giving your opinion even you haven't had the same idea with them. As we know that, It's almost impossible to have the same thought in thinking, so if you're the opposite with the writing idea of others steemian's post, that is ok at all. But remember to deliver your ideas in a polite words order.
Keep Writing
Writing
Whether you get upvote or not, make sure you post something everyday. In case you're busy or having a hectic agenda, you can reesteem another steemian's post that mostly related with your blog content. Don't be lazy, force yourself, challenge that beautiful mind!
Don't give up!
It's all about practicing, writing, writing and writing.
"Being paid is a bonus". Keep it up this mindset on your mind.
The last but not least, I would like to thank my friend who always support the new comers like me to post something useful in this cool platform. You might be so rare to post something on your blog as you are busy, but you always give a comment and vote us, it means that you appreciate what we are doing. Keep motivate us sir!
Cheers, from Aceh, Indonesia ❤️
