I am very new here - 8 weeks and appreciate your post very much. I am a content creator in several niches and on multiple platforms for about 6 years now. I came to steemit solely for the Alexa ranking and then got a bit excited for the payouts!

I started by shooting for 3-4 posts a day and as you can imagine - all fell dead. I later found out that no post here gets the alexa ranking until it reaches a $10 payout, so I stopped posting so much and started focusing on commenting and learning. This has helped a lot.

I am "big" on Twitter and coach it, so I take advantage of the ability to tweet my posts from here. This led to tweeting the posts I upvote as well. Then I started a steemit list on Twitter and so far have 55 steemers on it in just a couple of weeks.

Steemit posts come through beautifully on Twitter and I am getting excellent results with ReTweets and interaction on them.

Now I will be making steemit posts on how to use twitter to best advantage for steemit. Many of my new steemer twitter friends need a bit of help so I am revising some of my Twitter coaching help and will do a couple of posts a week on this topic. I hope this will create a lot of synergy between the two platforms.

This is so unexpected! My main niche is health and weight loss, so that is what I thought I would be doing here. Instead I now have great hopes for my little project and feel like it is a hole I can fill. My Twitter project is my way to get involved and use my current skills. I feel really happy to have stumbled upon it even though it is completely off track from my original intention.

I have seen some of your posts before and love your views of your area. I'm a nomadic wanderer and I love nothing more than to see glimpses of where other people are and you do that well.

I'm in SE Asia now for over a year and have tried to make connections on all of my other platforms - not very successfully. Once I joined steemit - boom! - I have all kinds of SE Asian connections now with interesting views of things and places I have never heard of before.

Maybe I will get back to my weight loss posts, but not right now.

I bookmarked this post, resteemed, and I'm tweeting. I have no power for upvoting today since my voting finger went out of control last night :) Thank you again and I hope other people will learn from your ideas too.
