A new world with Steemit

in #started6 years ago (edited)

Hi, I'm a young Brazilian guy and I was very dissatisfied with the "traditional" social networks. Listening to a podcast called "BitCast," one of the presenters quoted Steemit, all about features and the new way of creating content and sharing with the world.

I was excited and went to the site and created an account to start using the service (and, of course, make some money lol). I am friendly and would like to practice my English, so I decided to create this post, obviously checking the final text with Google Translator (just to ensure that it would not offend anyone and would not even look like a terrorist, lol).

I am very enthusiastic about technological interruptions, including Blockchain (as of this post, I am CTO of Blockchain's Software House, called A * Star Labs).

Coming soon, i would like post articles about this theme, in english, obviously, but a think that if i posted in portuguese, may others brazilians girls and guys interesting and helped Steemit to grow.

Hello jcbombardelli! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Haha Google translate will give you bad advice sometimes but your English seems pretty good so you should be alright.

Welcome to the site. It takes a little time for your blog to take off so just keep at it. When you are new, it is a good idea to comment on a lot of posts because it is more profitable until you get enough of a following. Make sure you check people out before you follow them. There are "follow spammers" (for lack of a better term) who will comment and follow you but they never upvote anyone, they just are trying to get their own follower count up. Sometimes you come across scammers on here too, so be careful not to click on suspicious looking links people leave in your comment section.

Judging by what you wrote here, you seem to be interested in making good content here so you should do fine.

Good luck.

@jcbombardelli, I gave you an upvote on your first post! Please give me a follow and I will give you a follow in return!

Please also take a moment to read this post regarding bad behavior on Steemit.

Super happy I can be one of the first to welcome you to Steemit & give you one of your 1st "UPVOTES." The community here has been wonderful since I began and I'm sure you'll find the same hospitality.

Here's a sample post I just put up a few days ago you can look at, to get an idea. It's still live so if you "UPVOTE" it, you'll get a piece of the curation (means you'll get a piece of money, amount shown in the post):
