"Dear Dawne - Joining Groups & Being Involved With Discord"

Season 1 - Episode 10

We Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" To Help You Directly!

(Also Newbie Nickels Added Again This Week!)

General Topic: Joining Groups & Being Involved With Discord

First I want to say thank you to @davemccoy for filling in for me last week. I really appreciate it!

This week I want to talk about some groups for you to join and how they can be beneficial.

1. Don't be a post-promotion link dropper- Chat in the group. Click on some other member's links and comment. Say you saw their link in the group you joined. This helps them to see where you came from, it may help others find the group and it gives the person who made the post the knowledge that what they're doing is working.
2. Even if you don't have a lot of time, you can still try and post in a group and chat for a few minutes every day. When members see you're active, you show up daily, etc., they are more likely to view you as a committed person and steemian.
3. You can't do this alone. You need support from others. So by joining, and being active, in Discord groups, you'll start to see more traffic to your page, more Upvotes and comments coming your way.
4. I belong to 26 Discord groups. I'm not active in all of them; although I want to be. But I do check in, check the post-promotion channels for members I may have missed and see who is doing what. I am constantly looking into the groups; and I can guarantee I find someone new every day. For example,I just joined the group steemsugars last week and am hoping to start being active in there this week (now that I am feeling better). There are some GREAT women in this group and I want to interact with them.

I have been able to make some wonderful connections in these groups, learned so much from the members and have advance my steemit career much further than I would have going solo.

Some of the Discord groups I am VERY active in are thesteemengine, steemitbloggers (which is invite only), @qurator, homesteadersonline, thewritersblock (muxxybot curation) and preppersonline. I post links, I chat, I follow links and comment and I resteem curation posts to my own page. If you visit my page, you'll see many of them there.

What is @qurator?

As a member of @qurator we already know you post original content and we fully support original quality content, especially from minnows. We send out daily upvotes to all our Qurites if they post, but if they show some participation or invest in @qurator we feel they deserve some better rewards from @qurator.

In a post by @flauwy, he describes the group as this:

All members of @qurator are receiving an upvote once a day. It is very hard to find your audience on Steemit, particularly when you are a newcomer or a small Minnow. The @qurator service will support you every day with an upvote depending on your Tier rank. Also, the qurators are offering quality support and highlight five great posts of their members every day. On their Discord channel you can find further support and create a network with other authors.

You really need to read @flauwy's post as he explains Qurator perfectly!

If you haven't checked out qurator or requested to become a member I would highly recommend it. There's a daily newsletter that I write seven days a week, plus Tuesdays and Fridays are special contest days with a second newsletter post.

It An Open Forum So Ask "Dawne" Anything!

Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)

Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.

First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.

How To Get Your Newbie Nickel TODAY ONLY On This Post

#1 Leave a comment to Dawne on this post. It must be a question directed at her asking for her help, or it must be a relevant observation to her topic of the day.

#2 If you leave a comment and Dawne responds, you can earn a "bonus" Newbie Nickel for a relevant additional comment to her. Note: that is (2) Newbie Nickels just by engaging Dawne and following up respectfully with her replies!

#3 Resteem this post and tell me about it in the comment section and I will give you a 1 Newbie Nickel for that! You must leave a comment to me (@davemccoy) so that @goldendawne only focuses on her discussions.
