Steemit How To: Not only SURVIVE But THRIVE on Your First Day!

in #steemit7 years ago

✄ 1. Get Your Profile Set Up ✅

Choose your profile picture and write a few words about yourself. This will be the first thing that people see when they come over to your profile to decide if they want to follow you so let us know who you are.

🎉 2. Write an IntroduceYourself Post 🙋

You can make a decent amount of money on your intro post as a nice little welcome into the Steemit world.

A successful IntroduceYourself post should have the following ingredients:

💜 Be yourself: There is only one you! Tell us why you are here, what you do and what makes you happy!

💛 Add Pictures: Links to insert pictures into your post can be generated by creating an account somwhere like: https://imgsafe.org

To centre your image put < center > at the beginning of the image link and < / center > at the end of the link... but don't leave any spaces

💚 Format Your Text: Putting two * either side of a word makes it ** bold ** like this when you take the spaces away and one * either side makes it * italic * like this.

💙 Tags: Make sure you put IntroduceYourself as the main tag for your into post. Also tagging your posts Steemit, Steem and Life will ensure a good amount of people see it to come say "Hi!" to you. Posts with these tags have the highest payouts!

💬 3.Register for SteemitChat 👯

SteemitChat is a great way to meet other people on Steemit that fit into similar niches to you. Whether it be crypto, travel, food, etc. You can share your posts with them so that they can go to upvote and comment on your posts, and you can do the same for them.

One You have registered for an account on SteemitChat... The first chatroom I recommend going into would be the IntroduceYourself chat. Say hello to people in there and post the link to your intro. Click on other people's links and go read their intros. Make sure you upvote and leave a comment to welcome them to Steemit and tell them what you liked about their intro/what you have in common.

🌍 4. Follow Some Cool Steemians! 💯

Like @Hannahlicious... I've heard she's a pretty cool chick.. haha 😝 worth a shot...

No but seriously, Steemit is like any other social media platform. We are here to interact and connect with one another. Find people who have similar interests to yourself by going to Feed and then searching through the Tags and Topics

Also, if you go into Hot and Trending you will find some of the more influential Steemians, who hold a lot of SteemPower and Voting Power. Follow some of these Steemians who have similar interests to yourself, because if they notice you and upvote your posts and comments, it will increase the rewards you get back from Steemit.

👍 5. ENGAGE With Your Fellow Steemians 💸

Steemit is a social network, and GIRL! 💁 is it time to be social! 💅 Don't join Steemit on a day you are supposed to be out there living life with your job, partner or real world friends. Join Steemit on a day where you can sit in bed, search through Steemit finding like minded people, commenting on their posts and engaging with their content.

Writing posts are not the only wake to make some $$ back on Steemit. Not only will commenting give you the chance to meet new people, find out new information and have some nice conversations on the platform, but it is also an opportunity for you to earn some extra rewards.

To show your appreciation make sure that you upvote (like) people's posts, resteem (share) them, and follow the blogger that you like so you can be the first to comment on their newer posts.

Thanks so much for reading. Please Upvote, Follow and Resteem this post! If you have any questions about Steemit, or need help - please reach out to me in the comments and I will always reply 😍

Haha Welcome to Steemit! What made you join? Are you enjoying it so far?

Well, I ran into this site a while back but it didn't seem like it was hot at the time. But that changed recently and now its booming and highly interactive if you ask me. So when I realized what it was really about it kind of fit my mold so I was like, HELL YEAH! And here I am apart of what I consider to be the hottest thing on the internet today. Awesome to be connected with you by the way cause #Followed ;)

Thanks for the help and support 💙

waoooo thank you so much for this information will be helpful for newbies... :)

Thanks vinnu!! Hope you have a great weekend :)

As many other newbies, I kinda figured out all of this by myself shortly after joining Steemit, but it would have been very helpful to have an article like this summing everything up to read before starting. Nice article, upvoted :)

Yes I totally agree... I was super daunted by Steemit on my first day, trying to figure it out. So I hoped that putting this little post together might be useful for one or two newbies joining up :) Thanks so much for the comment, hope you have a great weekend!
