RE: Introducing myself to steemit!
Hello, Adrian, and Welcome to Steemit.
Glad to hear you escaped the city. Urban life has definite advantages, but life out in the country, in the mountains, or on the seaside can be so much more pleasant.
Since you have 2 loved ones to guide you along on your Steemit path, I'm not sure how much I can give you. But I'll post some of my standard advice for your perusal, as follows:
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
