Salut and Welcome to Steemit!

I wish you good luck here on the platform and thanks for mentioning me.

Here are some tips I give to newbies when I see them:

• Never just copy a text or publish a photo/video without explanation. Always add some text and never forget to add an image to a text.
• Never steal an article and if you quote something or publish an image, always add a link to the source.
• Learn the Markdown styles to format your posts (you can find how it works in a link on the right side below the text box)
• Always use all 5 tags for more visibility. (try #q-filter -> https://steemit.com/@qfilter)
• Here is an interesting site where you can look up the stats for your account and others.
• Commenting other posts is very important, it brings you in new readers and followers. Also try the Steemit chat rooms.
• Comments and upvotes for comments and articles is very importantm because you get "curation rewards", which means you will receive a share of the Steem Dollar from the pot for the article as a reward for the interaction.
• If you have questions or experience problems (e.g. "not enough bandwidth"), you can always go to the Steemit Chat for help or you can ask me
• Go check out Hive account@dobartim and his "Steemit School" chat channel on Discord, he's a great guy helping minnows to get on speed.
• There is also a very long list with Steemit related projects for all sorts of purposes.
• A lot of votes on steemit come from bots that you (or others) can pay for a vote. Depending on the bot, you end up with more $$ than you had before.
• All bots work pretty much the same way: You go to your wallet and click on the little arrow next to the Steem Dollar amount. Then click on transfer, fill in the name of the bot, the amount you are willing to pay for the upvote and add as memo the URL to the article for which you want an upvote. Very simple.
• For newbies the Hive account@earthnation-bot is excellent, it supports only newbies and has very profitable upvotes.
• Overall, I would not recommend to use upvote bots. Here is an article in which I explain why.
• There are also resteem bots, but I don't find them too useful and don't know which one is good.
• Be careful with your password and watch out for scamming attempts. Several big accounts got stolen and now they try to lure others into giving away their password by posting comments with links to fishing sites.
• You have several different passwords. Whenever you have to use a password and it is not stated differently, use the active key and as little as possible your owner key! The latter is the big key to your account and if that is gone, you account is gone.
• Be aware that content that has been saved on the blockchain cannot be removed again and every user can see how much $$ you have! Therefore, always be cautious what you publish about yourself and your home. Don't give robbers an invitation to pay you a visit!
• Never underestimate the complexity of the Steemit environment, I'm here now since quite a while and I still learn new aspects of the platform.

I will follow you now. (<- always add that to a comment when you intend to follow the person who wrote the article. This way, you increase the likelihood that they follow you as well.)
