Hello, sister. It is customary to do an #introduceyourself post, with a recent photo holding a piece of paper with your user name and current date. Also the best way to get your content noticed is to get involved with other people. Follow them, do some thoughtful comments, and stuff. There is also a chat, a lot like in the old Elfwood days. It is at steemit.chat.
Also a good article about this all stuff is here. Ta!
@xanoxt Actually I'm more willing to say she's legit just by personal reference from people I know. Such as yourself.
The "hold a picture with a sign" is too easily gamed by fivr and worse I think it encourages people to trade on their looks instead of their contributions.
If you're a person of prominence then it's best to verify using existing social media. Otherwise there is no point to verify beyond a simple "hello sister, brother etc".
Thanks for introducing me to steemit, P! Since Elfwood days I'm in the process of giving up on 'hustling' to promote what I do, because it eats up so much time, leaving no time to actually paint etc. There should be a better recipe how to balance between blatant self promotion and creating.
Well, it does need some "hustling", but more or less the time you are involved in a community. You know, perhaps some sort of colaboration, and whatnot. One of interesting things you could do is bring Pie aboard. He has an interesting occupation, and some time spent here could bring some nice monies, maybe.
Maybe not. Another ther thing is, be somewhat conservative with upvotes, they deplete over time, and then gain strength over time as well. Upvoting comments eats much less then posts though.
@xanoxt Yes, you are of course right. Ph might be very good at this, he is much better and faster at creating interesting content, generally also better at blogging on a regular basis.
Aha, upvoting system seems to be incredibly complicated. As well as downvoting. Do you know any posts that explain it in simple terms?
