Hi steemiams introducingmyself!
My friend showed me this amazing project called steemit, and i want to be a part of it!
My name is Donatas Grigalauskis, im 27 years old lithuanian living in United Kingdom at the moment.
When i was 21 i had clinical depression, i didnt know what i wanted to do with my life, and i was borderline suicidal all the time, then something snapped in me, and i realized that i love making videos, so i started making them little by little with what little free time i had while working menial wageslave jobs. I bought my first decent filming equipment ( few lenses, camera, tripod and a sound recording system) 4 years ago, i saved for it while working in a concrete factory. So it wasn't an easy start, steemit seems perfect place for me to share my art with someone and get noticed.
Here is the latest short video i directed, came up with it, edited and shot and acted in
I hope you enjoy it and i can't wait to use steemit in the near future!
Welcome to Steem @donnyshomemovies I have upvoted and sent you a tip
Cool short video! Welcome to Steemit! :)
You look like a skilled individual welcome !
Seriously, you created that? That was very well done. Definitely don't stop what you're doing, because you're very good at it!
I loved the message and how you delivered it. My wife and I met online. We've been married for 10 years this September too. The Internet has definitely changed things, and I'm not sure if for the better over all. There seems to still be an awful lot of lonely people out there.
The bottom line for men remains true though: A guy has to be successful and dependable if he wants a long term relationship to work. What's your opinion?
Oh, and welcome to Steemit!
There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:
https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)
https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)
https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)
Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.
Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too. The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story." Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer. Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text. Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.
Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more. The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using another public social media account. For example, I posted my Steemit articles from here through my Twitter account. Another person posted their Steemit information on their Facebook account. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify. If a new account falls within those two categories and fails to verify, it may get blacklisted.
Again, welcome, and I've followed you! If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.
Thank you man, appreciate it
