I joined Steemit like 3 days ago and over my short time on here I have noticed a few things. So Newbies like myself let me help you understand Steemit from the being new aspect.
First what are your intentions and what was your reasoning for signing up on this platform.
My intentions were to give it a shot and to converse with other crypto enthusiasts. When I signed up I kind of felt there was going to be nothing will ut Bitcoin and crypto coin talk. Boy was I wrong, instead I found a site filled with everything our great planet has to offer. People from all over the world post on here and I got to tell you, it actually excited me. Looking through the posts I was able to visually take a trip to almost every corner of this planet. Through pictures and Video blogs, you are introduced to all cultures and the beauty that other countries have to offer. Basically you see what you would have never seen in a lifetime if you did not come to this site.
Second Some of the posts I have read seem to point in the direction of those who wish to get rich quick.
This is a subject that effects a huge portion of our population. The aspect of getting your hands dirty and working for what you get has gone out the window. Instead images and products are portrayed and brain wash the masses to think thats even possible. Well I hate to cut you down and kill your dream Its not going to happen, just put in time and effort. Hell get your damn hands dirty and I promise you are gonna be fine.
Last but not least Be yourself
Dont try to be who you are not. Do not write about things you are not sure of. Steemit has a very intelligent crowd and they can see through the fakes and can tell when people are talking about something they know nothing about. Do not just post something similar to one of the highest paid posts thinking your post will blow up. It took some of these higher ranked people a long time to get where they are and they got there because they put in the work. Just be you amd try your best.
Show us who you really are...
