RE: How I Went From Unhappy Stoner To Traveling Meditating Entrepreneur – Introduce Yourself #2
Welcome to the Steemit community @robcubbon! It seems you have a few interesting stories to tell. You might have come to the right social network. ;-)
A couple of tips, ignore the automated bots, they do nothing for you and just earn from your votes.
We love original content! Many other newcomers try to cheat with copy and paste from other websites.
Be patient with building an audience. Steemit is not get rich quick scheme. It is about the people the relationships you build here.
For many new people, the voting and points system seems complicated at first. Here is an excellent post and entertaining video about how it all works.

Welcome aboard and full Steem ahead! =)
Hello @leoplaw thank you I enjoyed watching that video about voting power. I need to research more into many areas of the platform.
Dig around. Steemit is not so straight up and down with how it works. But if you're in it for the long haul, that is half the fun of it. Another point to make is, that the "rules" can, and will change in the future. It is community driven, unlike Facekbook and others. This is where voting for Steem Witnesses comes in. Think of them as like a board of directors that can be voted in or out. The further you get into this platform, the more you will come to realise how transformative blockchain technology is going to be for our world. You are now one of the early adopters. Enjoy! =)
Yeah, digging around superficially at the moment and it's coming up with more questions than answers at this rate. I started reading the white paper and that very quickly went over my head. I've found a few good resources though so I will dig on. Your right a lot of things change very quickly because I'm reading a lot of stuff that is in some ways out of date (but in other ways useful) :)
You'll get the hang of it. There are some advanced possibilities, but that requires some research and a bit of technical know how. But, the main thing is, post original content and mingle with others, share, comment, upvote. =)
Got it. thank you
