It is worth celebrating and I cannot do that alone because this is as a result of the constant support I got from my fellow steemitians and most especially the Steemit team.

I am also using this opportunity to enlighten my newcomers that this journey to acquire the 8th dolphin is not without challenges. It was not achieved on an easy ride but lots of work was also put in place. The results are clear and for this I want you all to use my story as a point of contact and be rest assured to sing the same stories I will be singing today.

Fellow newcomers, there are several points you should always hold on to if you intend to achieve more dolphins on this amazing platform;

• Consistency: i know most of you have listen to this rythme several times on this platform. We will continue to sing it because it is what triggers engagement on your blog and be known by many other users. Consistency requires you to be active on the platform. Don’t drop a single post, stayed for weeks and come back to drop another post after a week or more. Since I joined the Steemit platform, i always endeavour to stay active no matter my busy schedule. At times i sacrifice sleep at night just to stay consistent. You can all see the results today.
• Engagement: This is another important thing to do if you intend to achieve dolphins. Engagement means commenting meaningful comments on other users content which will trigger engagement and will definitely build an audience for your content. Do not just drop your content and go. I see some users even to reply comments on their content is a big deal.
• Quality Content: Distinguish your content from the millions by creating quality content. Do not be in a rush to post and post with lots of errors. The quality of your content attracts others to constantly read your blog and support your content.
• Avoid Self-Upvoting: I see most newcomers self-voting their content with reasons best known to them. When you start practicing self-upvoting, it shows that you are not supporting others but yourself and definitely no one will also be willing to support your content.
• Stick to the rules: Every platform has its rules and steemit is not indifferent. The first rule is to avoid plagiarism because there is zero tolerance for plagiarism. Do not use copyrighted images, and stay away from AI generated content. Always acknowledge the source of images not your property and reference information borrowed from elsewhere. Not acknowledging the original author is considered academic theft and punishable.

These are the little tips I can share with you. Trust me, if you follow these tips as a newcomer, you will sonner or later joined the dolphin train. Before then, join me today and celebrate another dolphin achieved.
