RE: Hi Steemit! @brandonk introduced me!
Hmmmm
That's it? It's a sale's pitch to get traffic for your other site? That's not going to go over well here. Steemit needs quality content producers, not people attempting to profit from it indirectly.
The idea wouldn't be so bad if it was entirely on Steemit, but clearly your plan is to pull people from here to the other site. That makes you a profit, correct? What's the untold bottomline?
I am just hesitant to support the idea. Steemit works by people with SP in their accounts upvoting people's content. They are upvoting the content HERE. Therefore, I don't see how this is going to work well. Maybe you've figured out something I have not though.
Linking to other sites constantly is frowned upon here. No one is going to like it, so I'm not sure how you're going to spread your idea without doing that, right? Again, I'm open to new ideas, and perhaps I'm missing something.
I regularly look through intro posts for accounts that show promise, and I share some beginning information to help new users. Here's that information to help you:
There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:
https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)
https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)
https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)
Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.
He is offering a free to play contest, it isn't a sales pitch. Calm down and stop inciting negativity.
Sir, yes, sir! 8-P
First off thanks for the resources. I will explore all of them.
Secondly thanks for taking the time to respond. You could have just brushed off the post. I appreciate that.
Finally to address your concerns. Yes I do run the game on my own site. The way I run the game I don't believe there is a way to do the game entirely on Steemit. If it is possible I am open to making it happen.
I don't make any money off the site. I fund it completely with my own money, that includes paying out prizes and all operating costs. And any profit I would make from these posts on Steemit I will be keeping here. I have a full time job. Crowdini a something fun I love doing.
The game is 100% free to play. The only cost to the player is the 10 seconds a day it takes to play.
I'm new here and to the Steemit model. If the community doesn't embrace the game then that is ok. I understand I am new and so I have no reputation yet. I hope to change that through my actions on Steemit.
As for spreading the game on Steemit. It's not about spamming my site all over. It's about being a good member of the community. People are smart and if they are interested they will test out the game.
Understood and thanks for the explanation. Definitely check out the various Discord servers and the official steemit.chat then. You can engage more people there and spread the idea more quickly. I'm almost always on steemit.chat too, so feel free to stop by and chat. There are always helpful people there too if you have any questions!
Do I log into steemit.chat with my steemit credentials?
It's a separate system, but it is the official chat for steemit.com. Firepower runs it. You may see him come in and say hello to your intro post too. He looks through them as I do. ;-)
Got it. I just created my account there.
Is there a mobile app for android? For both Steemit and the chat.
Steemit.com works well as the regular webpage on most smart phones. I've never tried steemit.chat on my phone. I do not believe there's an app for either.
Ok. What are the discord channels?

SteemSpeak: https://discord.gg/zPGudzX
I'm assuming thailand-funfun below is a bot?
Sadly, most replies a person gets to their intro post are bots. :(
I look through them on purpose though to find real and promising people. Some intro posts are bots too. There are a ton of scammers on here. Search for Steemitian as one example. All the accounts are fake and linked to one scammer. It's funny. He made it easy to find him.
The term is steemian, not steemitian. haha
Thanks for the advice. I will do my best to steer clear of the bots.
