welcome to steemit wish you best of luck be happy :)

Hello friend welcome to steem it. You will enjoy it here. You can also get more followers here https://steemfollower.com/?r=6817

Why don't you smile a bit? Look at @arnoldmusa90, he smiles like a prince!

Here is some advice I give to newbies on steemit:

  • never just copy a text or publish a photo/video without explanation. Always add some text (you did that just fine)
  • Always use all 5 tags for more visibility.
  • here is an interesting site where you can look up the stats of your account and others.
  • this is another stats site where you can see your reputation and what to do to climb up the ladder. (commenting other posts is very important).
  • there is even a help site for Steemit where you can find explanations for the site's functionalities
  • if you want somebody to read your article or follow your conversation, mention their username (don't forget the @).
  • commenting other posts is very important because you get "curation rewards" which means Steem Dollar from the pot for the article as a reward for the interaction.
  • learn the Markdown styles to format your posts (you can find how it works in a link on the right side below the text box)
  • A lot of votes on steemit come from bots that you (or others) can pay for a vote. Depending on the bot, you end up with more $$ than you had before.
  • All bots work pretty much the same way: You go to your wallet and click on the little arrow next to the Steem Dollar amount. Then click on transfer, fill in the name and the amount and add as memo the URL to the article for which you want an upvote. Very simple.
  • Here is a site where you can compare the performance of difference upvote bots.
  • As far as I know, the best upvote bot currently is @rocky1.
  • There are also resteem bots, but I don't find them too useful and don't know which one is good.
  • Be careful with your password and watch out for scamming attempts. Several big accounts got stolen and now they try to lure others into giving away their password by posting comments with links to fishing sites.
  • you have several different passwords. Whenever you have to use a password and it is not stated differently, use the active key and as little as possible your owner key! The latter is the big key to your account and if that is gone, you account is gone.

I will follow you now. (<- always add that to a comment when you intend to follow the person who wrote the article. This way, you increase the likelihood that they follow you as well.)

Alright sir, thank you, i appreciate @goodlebear

@doodlebear, thank you for the great compliment

@varrow, welcome to steemit. We are so glad you joined our community.

I write a lot of posts about what new Steemit users need to know. Feel free to check out my blog.

My best advice is the following:

  • Make friends. When you meet a lot of people who grow your following faster. One of the best ways to meet new people is by writing comments.
  • Write quality posts. No one is perfect, but keep working on becoming a better writer.

And don't give up! You may get discouraged, but keep moving forward and keep Steeming!

Alright sir, thank you @sumatranate
