RE: WHAT'S UP! My First Personal Steemit Post.
Hi @steemitar
Welcome to SteemIt.
I went to Denmark once (long time ago), it’s indeed a beautiful country.
That picture of you sitting onthe bench, looking over the valley is just gorgeous!!
I like a lot of things on your list too, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for your posts.
I hope you will come to like the platform as much as I do. Being a newcomer, it can be though at times. There is a steep learning curve, and you may often feel overwhelmed by everything that is going on, and everything you need to learn about SteemIt. I know, I’ve been there :0)
I’ve been here for 5 months now - not too long to have forgotten what it is to be new here. It may all seem a bit complicated at first (with earnings that are a lot lower than they promised you in the ‘outside world’), but once you make it through the first couple of weeks and get the hang of it, you’ll discover SteemIt is a great place to hang out.
There will definitely be quite some people that will do as I do and offer you their help. That is the perfect example of what I was saying about SteemIt being a great place to hang out. It’s full of amazing, warm-hearted, helpful people, and together we help each other grow, and have a lot of fun at the same time.
If I can give you just one advice: accept their help. No one can make it on this platform alone. The community is the most important factor here.
Commenting and engaging is just as - if not more - important than posting. Definitely when you’re just starting out.
It helps you to meet and get to know people. Once you’re part of the community, you will notice you’re account will be growing pretty fast.
There are loads of different sub-communities with the main goal of helping newcomers to find their way. @newbieresteemday is one of them. We’re just a happy bunch of misfits who all started small and helped each other grow a little bigger, and now we’re dedicating most of our time to help new people to grow theirs. We also have an account called @newbiegames, which we use to organize and share games and contests, because joining those is a great way to make new connections and maybe earn some money while you’re at it.
Now, I’m risking an information overdose here, but I will take the risk ;0)
If you haven’t heard about Discord yet, I can really recommend installing it. It’s a chat-app where we hang around. It’s like the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of SteemIt. It’s a great place to ask for help, advice, or just to have a chat when you want to, or need some motivation.
The different communities all have their own channels on Discord. So let me invite you to our @newbieresteemday channel: https://discord.gg/h9WfHrE
Anothe one is the @asapers channel: https://discord.gg/xJDJNnY
No pressure. If you’re ready for Discord, just pay us a visit to say hi. Most of the time there will be someone there to welcome you.
Meanwhile, welcome to SteemIt and enjoy your journey. Most people are more than prepared to help out when needed, don’t forget :0)
Wow, that was a very informative post! Yeah, I have also seen a lot of youtubers showkng big numbers. Some of them where probably lucky and others maybe already had a huge following. Storting from zero tales patience! :) I will definitivt consider the Discord thing later. I also don’t find a private chat here. So cool you have been in DK! Just gave you a follow and an upvote!
Thanks. There is no privacy on SteemIt, everything is out in the open. If you want to address someone, you need to use his name in a post or comment for him or her to see.
That’s why we use Discord. At least a little privacy - lol ;0)
And a very good bot that lets you know whenever someone calls out your name .
But take it one step at a time. It’s a lot to digest. And it takes time and patience to grow here.
Earlier this week I read a post by someone who was a big name on other social media, but she said what was correct: onSteemIt, everyone has to start from zero again.
Just know, we’ve got your back if you need anything ;0)
And thank you for liking the stuff
