1: do not over post! Best to make 1-5 posts per day in the beginning. Start with a daily post and try to keep a theme. For example photos you take or your daily food blog. Things like that will help you define who follows you here. Your best bet is to look at other posts and engage in the comments.

2: Steem Power is the "blood" of your account here. More SP gives you more RC as well as making your Voting strength matter much more (worth more).

3: You keep it powered up.

4, 5: Take a look at Hive account@shadowbot (my project).

6: You must use a 3rd party such as Youtube then embed the video into your post.

7: Backup your Master Key in at least 3 places. Use a secure computer system. Look into switching to Linux if you use windows. I recommend xubuntu personally.

8: DO NOT SPAM! DO NOT STEAL CONTENT! If you reference something use quote tags and give credit to the original source/author/artist.

9: Join us on Hive account@shadowbot! We are an ever growing community and platform that helps all the members earn more together.

10: Broken right now! It used to be your USD account value but it currently is broken.
