Hi everyone, this is my introduction post! :)
Hi all :)
First to say, I am really happy to become a part of Steemit community and the opportunity to share stories, beliefs and ideas with you guys!
My name is Alex, also known as my alter - ego, The Mindful Mermaid. I`m a globetrotting young professional with a passion for travelling, sustainability and social change.
I currently am self - employed as a freelance writer and marketer, which allows me to work remotely while I travel :) Though I do enjoy writing, I plan on pursuing career in international environmental policy in the future.
The Mindful Mermaid is a platform for me to share my experiences while promoting a conscious lifestyle. From immersing myself in local culture, to sharing sustainable travel and style tips, I try to incorporate mindfulness into every word and picture I publish.
I strive to be a role model for the generation that seeks to see the world and make a positive impact.
My goal is to use Steemit platform to share my experiences, and to enjoy every opportunity to meet new people that have similar views as I do. Then we all can make some small impact for the better world, through fun, joy and travel.

Looking forward to be a part of this amazing community! :)

Welcome to Steemit ! It's nice to have you here in the community. Hope you will enjoy the adventure here. Ps : i'm a traveller addict as well loll. Have nice day !
We all are addicts to some extend haha :) Thanks for your support, and I am looking forward for adventure here!
Welcome @alexcote ! since you are new around ill advise you to get some steem from an exchange , Power up you steem account , you will not regret it and with more SP (steem power) bigger payouts from your posts!
Thanks for the advice @rouketas ! I was under impression I gotta wait for one week to do it.
The waiting is for the payout. You can buy Steem and power it up at any time.
I would give the opposite advice to @rouketas. Don't spend any money in Steem whatsoever until you've spent a while with it and are comfortable that it is a sensible thing to do. It is a highly volatile and risky asset.
Oh okay. And by "until you`ve spent a while with it", what exactly you think..? And why do you think it is a risky asset? And thanks a lot for these tips, I really appreciate it!
Well, I myself got started in early July but didn't buy any Steem Power until September. After the peak in August, the price fell 97% over the course of a few months. All cryptocurrency is volatile, and Steem is incredibly volatile.
After many months and buying Steem regularly, I am now in a position where I'm nominally in profit, and I expect it to grow a lot more. But I think everyone who considers buying Steem Power should be realistic and aware of the risks, and even be comfortable with the prospect of losing a lot of money at this stage.
In general I don't recommend people buy in without such consideration. You can add value to the network just by making posts and comments, and the network will give you some Steem just for that.
That is good point! And did you then just withdraw in SD the amount of money that you didn`t transfer to SP, or?
Lots of people do that, but I never did. I'm in for the long haul :-)
I`m still new, and definitely would need to educate myself more on my own! Thanks for these tips and some details I should be careful about :)
You have to wait a week for your post pay out till come in to your account,
also you can join steemit.chat.com where you can promote your posts! and remember if you dont need the money always have Steem in hand! (and not SBD) for the long term
Thanks a lot for these generous tips it is really helpful!
glad to help if you need anything else just shoot ! :)
Thanks :))
