Steemit Essentials - The Sexiest Bot on the Internet
Steemit Resources
Upon diving into the rabbit hole that is the Steemit universe, many people are overwhelmed by the differences between Steemit and other social media platforms. I have had several requests from people newer to Steemit than myself to create some simple "how-to" videos to help them acclimate more quickly.
My first attempt was a post on the necessity of Discord - https://steemit.com/steemit/@energyaddict22/best-steemit-resources-part-i-discord-is-a-must
This is my 2nd installment. If you are truly interested in growing your Steemit audience (and your account), then this tool is essential. There are many other resources that I will speak about in the coming days, but there is no better place to start than here. Special thanks to @neander-squirrel and all the folks over at @minnow-power for gifting us with such a great personal assistant. Please support their efforts.
I'm still learning how to make good videos so I appreciate your patience and feedback. I promise the quality will improve with each one as I become more proficient.
As with all my posts, please comment and ask questions. The more intelligent the comment, the better upvote you receive from me for posting it. I will do my best to respond to everyone.
Like this article? Please resteem, upvote and comment.
Don't like it? Comment and tell me why. Let's discuss it.
All intelligent comments get an upvote for effort (even if I disagree).
Send me a copy of one of your posts and I will try to read it quickly.

I have used @ginabot for notifications especially since starting out, and funny enough, wrote the same kind of post some time ago...it is worth repeating for sure! I like that she's on Discord and is easily visible to me.
But then along came steemworld.org, which I keep open at all times; if you don't use it, check it out. It may be a future post for you:) It now also includes notifications, so on my laptop, it's giving ginabot a run for her money haha I got used to receiving notifications from @ginabot, but I turned her off to try steemworld instead, because it really is a one-stop shop; seriously it has everything you need there. I'm trying to decide which I prefer, but @steemchiller, who created steemworld is doing a fantastic job with updates. It even has a manual vote slider if you don't have the 500 SP required for the automatic one, but it also lets you know of comments received, incoming/outgoing votes, your financial status on here, bandwidth, voting power almost everything.
I'm not bad mouthing @ginabot though, because she is pretty darn amazing and this is the type of information that new people especially need to hear!
It's like I have two best friends and I'm not sure who to hang out with haha
Thanks so much @lynnecoyle1. This is exactly the type of feedback I was seeking. 4 months on Steemit and this is the first I heard about steemworld. Very cool. I'm going over to check it out. Surely, it seems deserving of some sort of review.
You are so welcome; and I am so glad! It is worthy of 'some sort of review for sure'!
Let me know if you're stuck on any of it...I'd be happy to help you out :)
Thanks for the offer. I will be messaging in the next day or two about Steemworld and how you utilize it. Many of the settings aren't clear to me.
Ok no problem. I'm not an expert, but I can give you a hand for sure :)
It's the first I've heard of steemworld, too! Thanks for that lesson!!
You are most welcome @mtnmeadowmomma! It really is amazing. Let me know if you have questions about it; I'll be happy to help as much as I can :)
I was about to comment how good ginabot is. I only use it for notification. I will check steemworld too.
It's worth checking out! But I love ginabot too :)
How can I change my VP percentage? If I adjust the slider in the steemworld, it does not apply when I vote or I can't do that yet? At what point should I be able to?
It's a bit more work than that, but it's worth it. This may seem complicated, but it will be worth it in the end, and it's simply once you do it a few times.
You have to go down to "Tools", then "Manual Vote" and you'll see the slide adjuster there. Then go to "Account Operations" further up and click on the comment that you want to upvote. It will "open up" and you'll see "Parent Permalink". Copy that and paste back in "Tools-Manual Vote" where it says "link". The "author" spot should automatically fill in...make sure you're upvoting the correct author.
Like I said, it seems complicated, but is so simple once you try it a few times. You'll be able to vote so many more times by using it. Let me know if you get stuck. I've been meaning to write a post explaining it, so now that is on my list of to-do's tomorrow :)
The author does not fill in. I tried author and parent author but I get error.
when you go to copy, click 'copy link adress' and make sure you're copying "parent permalink"and pasting in "link"
Got it! I was pressing ctlr+c when copying. I think it was not copying everything. Thanks!
@energyaddict22 my friend, thanks for this video, I'm gonna keep a date with this sexy woman.
Good choice! I will post some more suggested tools and resources soon. Good to hear from you my friend.
My suggestion (for everyone who does video posts) is to still write a short synopsis of what's in the video, for those of us with sketchy wifi who can't always watch them. I can read a whole post or two in the time it takes longer videos to buffer...and when it comes to dtube, I have yet to get it to work at all.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will write some longer summaries. That is solid advice. Yes, I'm very disappointed in Dtube lack of progress on sorting out issues. I'm afraid they may have killed their brand by releasing before they were ready. In any event, if they sort it out I will post there because I prefer to stay on the Steem blockchain.
You're welcome! I wonder why they launched it before it was fully ready?! I know I'm not the only person who has given up on them. I'll just watch for an announcement that it's all sorted out, haha.
I didn't like GINAbot that much at first. I didn't like the beeping. I thought about muting it, but then I would inevitably be looking at a different tab and wouldn't know when something happened.
Now, though, after quite a few weeks of using it, I actually look forward to the beeps. It means something is happening with my account.
I do, however, also have steemworld.org open. It has different ways of viewing what GINAbot provides, and more. Plus it's formatted differently and sometimes it's easier to see or figure out what's just happened.
I use them both all day, along with Steemit. So, I would say they've all become important tools for me.
Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. One of the best parts about Steemit is that I often learn more than I teach and I make more friends in the process.
definitely could not keep up with all the things on Steemit without that lovelyl @ginabot !!
No doubt. Now to find a real world personal assistant as effective. 😉
lolol good luck! ;-)
@ginabot is the best! love the many features they build in it especially the part where you can get notified when somebody you like (put their name in the settingsform) writes a post!
Thanks for commenting. Yes, that is one of my favorite functions also and I talk about that in the video. Such a cool resource (it let me know that you commented on this post). All the best to you. ;)
