Are you there, Steemit? It's me, Theo.

Hello Steemians, Steemoids, & Steemates,

I’m Theo and I’m from Canada. I’ve joined Steemit because the old social media channels have become boring/infuriating. Although I still enjoy Twitter. I've also become interested in cryptocurrency so Steemit seemed like the place to be.

I was Program Director of the local community radio station for 17 years and I owned my own comic book store for almost 7 years so I’ll be posting about music and comics. I still record a weekly, half-hour comic book review show with the owner of another local shop. We’ve been meaning to podcast the thing for years so maybe that’ll finally happen on Steemit.

I also hope to blog about my attempts to navigate the world of crypto investment. I’ve started participating in bounties and my plan is to try to do everything with free resources. I’m not going to use any of that old-fashioned money stuff.

Hello, Theo, and Welcome to Steemit from a fellow Canadian (now residing in Thailand).

You'll find that Steemit is far from "infuriating," and in fact, a great place to blog and a great community. (Coming from a recluse like me, that says a lot about this platform!)


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!

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
