So you want to be a big shot huh? Don't we all. In this post I am going to give you the down and dirty on what is going on around here, some pointers and tips, and maybe some motivation. If you find something wrong with what I tell you, you have 2 good options.
- Option 1 - tell me in a comment and start a conversation because that is how you can earn upvotes. Engaging in comments section, not telling people they don't know what they are talking about. Sometimes it is best to phrase it as a question rather than telling someone they are wrong.
- Option 2 - make your own post about it and give out the correct information. You can also make money that way by getting upvotes on your posts.
Everything runs off Steem Power
Steem power is what makes the world go round. If you don't have it you are SOL if you do have it you can reward your friends or crush your enemies. (try not to make enemies because you will get flagged and loose reward money).
If you do not have steem power you will get the dreded BANDWIDTH LIMIT EXCEEDED and you will hate life. The more Steem Power you have the less you will see that damn message. How do you avoid it? Easy, dump a bunch of your own money into your account. A lot of people do not want to do that though so your other option is to keep your usage under control. First you need to know where to monitor it. Here are a couple sites to use.
steem.supply/@yourusernamehere ..... that means put your user name there instead
You can also monitor upcoming payouts there.
steemd.com/@yourusername
same relevant info here
steemworld.org/@yourusername
Probably one of my favorites so far. There is just a TON of info on this site. It has about everything form simulating your steem power to payout history and upcoming payouts. It also has mentions and the ability to monitor everything going on like upvotes, downvotes, incoming payments and all that jazz.
By now your head is about to explode.
How to avoid blasting through your bandwidth.
1- DO NOT EDIT COMMENTS. take time to proofread the first time. Editing to uppercase a letter or change a word will eat up your available bandwidth.
2- Everything uses bandwidth. So in otherwords you have to be thinking 3 steps ahead like a game of chess. Don't do dumb shit like going into your wallet and making SBD into steem every time you get .001 . Sometimes you have to be thrifty. Do you want to make a comment on someones accout that absolutely never upvotes his commentors? I would not waste my bandwidth on a selfish A hole like that so it may be to your benefit to go look at a posters old posts and see if ANYONE got an upvote from him or if he only upvotes the same people every time. Making posts also uses bandwidth so make sure you have some before making a post or you chance loosing the post that you spent so much time making.
Make your post not look like trash
No one wants to live in a hoarders house and no one wants to visit a low effort blog that looks like trash. You can do a simple search and find a lot of free dividers and footers on here to seperate content so it does not look like one long long long run on sentence.
