Hello, Karyn, and Welcome to Steemit.

As a student (advanced) of nutrition and dietetics, you will have plenty to bring to this platform and to all Steemers. We are coming to realize that what we put into our bodies makes major differences.

We see that not only in those underdeveloped countries where many are malnourished, but also in "overdeveloped" countries, where people have plenty to eat but where they over-indulge in processed foodstuffs that are loaded with sugar and other "poisons."

And it's surprising how many educated people continue to ingest such poison. In many ways, Steemit is a wide-ranging educational platform, so I hope you can use it as such to spread info about nutrition far and wide.\

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4. Be yourself.
5. Be interesting and informative.
6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
