Welcome Cryptoturtle! Cool name!
You will fit in quite well here on steemit. And sounds like you have a lot to share and offer.....Though, it will probably help you to fit in to follow my tip below about finding and commenting and getting to know others MORE this first month, than posting your own posts.

Have you heard of Cryptoversity or the Marketing Monk? He is on here too and does some education like you do. Maybe you could partner with him sometime.

Since you have another online presence, it will be best if you include links and references to you other Site or account... and best if you announce over there that you are now on Steemit. That way we know that you ARE that person and he is you! (sadly, some people steal personality names and setup a puppet account)

Well.. here are my standard tips:

• find a community. Maybe join the @minnowsupport project.

• comment and follow other's articles for your first 1-4 months here more than you do your own posts. This will actually help you to gain Followers. And improve and refine your Posting style(by seeing other's good examples and bad examples).

• don't plan to get rich. If you come for money, it will probably be a struggle.

• it will still be a struggle when you are new.... for 2 or 3 months. As you meet more steemians and ask questions and figure things out, it will get easier.

• only Post original work. Many new Steemians get into trouble when they copy and paste things from Google or from the internet, AND IT IS NOT their photo, writing or work. IF you can't post your own things, better not post. Otherwise @cheetah will get suspicious!

• comment and make friends, but don't ask "Follow me" or "please Upvote me" Maybe after you have become friends... maybe. But never as your first, second or third comment to them. Never!

• Use appropriate tags. If the tag doesn't match. Don't use it. Tags are important to help people find what they are looking for. Misusing tags causes many problems here on Steemit.

• have fun!

I am a community volunteer. I try to stop SPAM and trash and things that hurt Steemit. IF you see anything like that, please feel free to let me know, I will look into it!
