Over the weekend, I and two other fellow Labuan steemians and
made a trip to Sabah capital, Kota Kinabalu to attend the first steemit masterclass101. We made our own prior travel arrangement. We came to learn like a thirsty sponge and also learned how to fish at the right pond/sea to increase our chances of meeting a whale. 😄Ultimately we wanted to become a more proficient writer as well as improving our ability to earn more from it.
The session was conducted by the champions of teammalaysia and
. Both of them delivering their own speciality topic, a pow wow kick ass information to explode our steemit writing and also secret tips and hacks. Well if you want to know these secret, you got to attend the next masterclass101.
Sorry, the ladies are busy somewhere else.
This are my top five learning from the one and a half day session.
1.) You do not need days or hours to write a great post. All you have to do is schedule 20mins of your day, to get it done. Its in the preparation and having a few hacks and tips at hand would be tremendous help. I think most of the time it is the absent of ideas that cause us to procrastinate. Its just like cooking, you spend more time getting and preparing the ingrediends but the cooking process itself is a fraction of the time. It takes practice, practice and practice.
Note: stewing is an exception
2.) You don't have to create content from ground zero. There are many well written post or article about something of your interest, go digest from each post and add your own flair to it. But, please NO NO NO plagriasm.
3.) Networking with other steemians create more opportunity to collaborate on other projects or other interest. The get together was really interesting and fun. This is a gathering of people from various background and all kind of interest. Somehow knowing this multi talented people does colour up your life.
4.)Once you have powered up to more than 500 steems, learn to delegate the surplus to others. The reason for hitting the recommended number is because you will then have the option of the voting slider bar . Upon delgating your steem power, you will in return be paid in steem interest. This would add more to your steem power at the end if the agreed loan period . You are actually assisting others to attain their goal. Check out minnowbooster
5.) Implement what you learn immediately. The faster you take action, the faster you internalise what you have learned. I have made my first steem power delegation immediately after hearing presenting about the opportunity to gain more steem through delegation.
I look forward to apply all that I manage to absorb during the session and I believe with great support from my fellow steemians and teammalaysia, we can create an incredible future through this platform together.
