So recently I did an Unusual Promotion where I took in Ideas from Others in Exchange for Upvotes. Among several Submissions, one of them was from and she wanted to know about my Suggestions for a Beginner in Steemit.
First of all, I don't consider myself a Pro in the field of Steemit as I have yet to complete a Full Year here on Steemit. Then again I have seen countless Beginners just Spamming Comments everywhere to either get attention or Just for Fun. I started my Post Promotion Threads so that the Beginners doesn't feel that their Work is not Valued and eventually leave Steemit. So here are some of my Suggestions for Beginners who have yet to figure out what Steemit is?
My Suggestions
1. I Upvoted you, You Upvote me.
Don't go into other People's Post and say I Upvoted you, So you Upvote me. That just sounds Lame. The better option, in this case, would be to go to someone's Profile and ask him/her Politely to come and Visit your Blog. Now whether or not he/she Visits your Profile that is entirely Up to them. But don't go and Spam the same Comment over and Over.
2. Do not Tag Others in Your Post
By Others I mean Whales. Whenever you tag someone in your Posts they get a Notification and believe it or not there are thousands of People tagging whales so as they could get a Fraction of their Upvote. That is downright Exhausting if you see yourself getting Tagged everywhere. Tag someone only if they are Directly related or you have taken Permission from them Personally.
3. Tread Carefully
Steemit is not a Get in Get Rich quick Policy. You got to Invest your Time here and build up your Bonds with others. Treat Steemit as a Hobby which Pays you and you will be ok.
4. Draw Attention but Carefully
You should try to draw attention towards your Blog but you should tread Carefully as Attention goes both ways. It could either be Good Attention or bad Attention and you definitely want the Good ones to follow.
5. Plagriarism
Coping others Content is a strict No-No around here. Don't even go for Article Spinners and try to Trick the system as sooner or later someone will find out and Report you. It's better to be Original out here.
6. Learn New Things
This might be the most Important thing. As Steemit offers you a lot of Knowledge which in any other place might have cost you some Money. If you look carefully Steemit has several Genres and your Hobby might be one of them. So go ahead and learn from them. As per I know there is always an Expert in every Genre in Steemit.
I had some more Pointers but I just can't seem to remember them.
I will add them as soon as I remember them.
