So you've made it to Steemit! Welcome! Some things I've noticed people don't mention too often that could have helped me early on in my Steemit adventures are:

1. https://Steemworld.org/@mwmartin
   -a (nearly) complete interactive page that gives you a better overall experience and overview of what is really happening on your steem page.
   -steemstats is not that good
   -steemviz is a good pending payout site(does not include curation but has total pending payout including comment payouts)
   

1. Steemengine.net

• steemengine the followers gained is unreal. I gained 100 just in the past two days. If you want you can use my referal link not required though...

The memes create here were done on the www.decentmemes.com website!
I have been having fun using www.decentmemes.com. it's a smaller version of the bigger guys meme site. I have received a lot of organic upvotes large and small from this site. I invite you to try and make some memes! It connects via steemconnect to your steemit account. You make your memes there and then it posts to your page

These are some uncommon things I wish I was made aware of early on when I first joined! I wish you the best and much success here helping us all grow this amazing platform! Also I think steemit school mentioned below will be very helpful and beneficial to you! The Discord link is below!
