We have moved ahead of Facebook generation. We are in the BlockChain generation. I mean We are in a very advanced generation.

Well steemit is a great example

What is Steemit?

It's Quite simple, Let me even put it in quotes so that you understand it clearly

Well steemit is a blockchain based blogging platform which rewards you for what you do. Means you can post what you want, comment and Upvote (Like) the post and get paid. Sounds fascinating right. The platform completed 2years recently. And there was a lot of hard work put in by the devs.
It is like all the other social media websites, but the only difference is that this platform pays you for your work.

Now

Most Newbies have the problem of doing most of the dont's which i'll later mention in this post . By the way to be honest I was a victim too in the beginning but I learned my lesson early from some of my mentors in @uganda, i must say they did a good job.

Any way let's leave that and focus on what brought us here,

For your own information,there are some practices which don't' work so well on Steemit. Rather than working, they limit your chances of making any gains. It doesn't matter whether you are new on Steemit or have spent some time here, there are a few things you should Do or stop doing right now!

I dkn why but Sometimes I like to think of Steemit as a magic wonderland where anything can happen; both good and bad. So how do you make sure you stay on the good side and avoid any mishaps along the way

So allow me to start with the Do's --- Now as a new user you're adviced to do these in the following;

1. When posting, aim to contribute value,
2. Upvote material that contributes value
3. Only flag material that is abusive
4. Join contest and get some rewards
5. Join helpful communities like minnowsupport
6. Be helpful in the community.
7. Post great contents and if possible, post them daily.
8. Comment on peoples posts to gain more visibility
9. Make friends as they will help you in the later stage.

10 . Do introduce yourself, so if you haven't made an intro-post, after reading this post go and write it immediately

The Don'ts -- If you are a newbie, you should strictly stop doing these things immediately. If you are not new, why are you doing it?

1.Don't spam your comments
2.Don't copy and post contents
3.Don't post explicit contents that may harm a certain group of community.
4.Don't give up so easily,
5.Don't leave valuess comments on people's post because you might get flagged besides that,it's annoying.
6.Don't do blind following, i mean don't follow everyone thinking that they will follow you back
7.Don't beg other people to follow you
8.Don't beg for upvotes
10.Don't vote your comments

I confess, that I did Some of the Don'ts in my Initial days and was not aware of this. My apology to the community.
