Hello, Andrew, and Welcome to Steemit.
Here on Steemit, the cyrptocurrency topics are huge, so you'll definitely find it to be a place where you can not only learn more, but also dispense some of your knowledge. And with your background in accounting, you may even have certain specialist knowledge that can add even more to the converstation.
By the way, I did not know that Table Mountain was one of the 7 Wonders. ☺
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Thanks very much :) I hope to apply my knowledge in both accounting, mining and investing to the community. Table mountain only recently became onto the list of wonders and very proud to have it so close to me as I hike it often. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New7Wonders_of_Nature
Oh, I heard about the new list. But did not memorize it :-)
You’re welcome. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.
@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge (Temporarily inactive)
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer
For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
Hahah yeah :))) I would definately be interested in doing the photo contests sounds fun and a good way to earn a few extra steem so why not. Not sure how it works exactly do I need to just follow the link @photocontests and from there everything will be self explanatory?
Yes, go there. then click on a recent post. Scroll down to the bottom, and you'll find the regular weekly schedule.
Also, your first tag should be the name of the current daily contest (as in the schedule). You can also state the name of the contest at the end of your heading, if you want.
Here's a recent photocontest entry of mine. https://steemit.com/cityscapephotography/@majes.tytyty/tranquil-town-avoids-development-becomes-great-cityscape-photography
I'm not the greatest photographer, but with a bit of work, my photo posts turn out relatively interesting, I hope.
Thats truly amazing photo its captures the essence of life and tells its own little. Totally love it!!!! Now giving me inspiration to do the same ;))))
Great! Try to make each post something that other Steemians will want to read / see. Short or long, just make each one good ... or great.
Thank you! Soo its all about quality and not quantity :)))
To a great extent, yes.
