Steemit is a platform where money is made from votes for the content that you post. It is also possible to win for interesting comments that you do in other posts, but mainly you win for what you post.
It's a kind of social network where you get paid to create content that can distract or be of interest to others. This is the interesting thing about Steemit, since what you share here has a monetary remuneration. Believe me there will always be a person who likes what you do.
In Steemit you can upload the content of your interest, what you like to talk about, what you are interested in or passionate about, you can upload poems, stories, photos, even game reviews or movie reviews, you can upload videos by singing, dancing or teaching some recipe, even experiences that you want to share. In a few words you can upload everything, but it is quite interesting if you rely on some specific topics, so you can have a loyal audience. With this last I do not mean that you only have to upload content about four (4) or five (5) topics only, because the platform is really free and you can upload everything you want, but it is a tip so that your profile can not be seen so overloaded.
Of course, the most advisable is that they are four (4) maximum daily post, to avoid spamming others.
You can post your content in the language you want, in fact, if you make a post in English and want to upload it in Japanese it is totally valid.
The first post that you will have to upload is the introduceyourself, which is a tag where the new steemians go and so they make themselves known to the community and make their tastes known interests. That label will put it first in the tags that you must place when you are about to publish your post.
A post consists of three parts:
1st The title, which is very important because apart from the image you put, the title will be what catches the attention of others and makes them want to read your content.
2nd. The body of the publication, where you are going to write, post your photo or video. The space you have to sell your product (your creativity or opinions).
3rd. Tags, where you can place a maximum of five (5) and it is best to use them all. This is a very important part since tags you put on will be the ones that show your work, that is, if you are posting a photograph, the ideal is that first among your tags is the tag photography, which will make the followers of said tag can also admire your work.
After filling these 3 boxes is the option "Publish", which after having reviewed your post thoroughly (is what I recommend) you can click and just wait for votes and comments from others.
It is very important to answer the comments, so if someone praises your work or has an opinion about it, it is best to take the time to respond.
Another thing that you should not overlook, is that what you post should be original content, created by you. If you are going to take some content from another place, you should without hesitation make the reference, because if not some bot will comment you saying that you found this content in another place of the internet, that's why, the images , videos, or texts that you use that are not your own must be marked with a link from where you found them.
