So, you've just registered on Steemit? New place, new faces, new terms... Let me guess. It feels like being a freshman in college again?
My friend, welcome to the most exclusive club on the internet. Some call us Steemers, others Steemians. Use whatever you want.
Steemit is like the ocean full of whales, dolphins, minnows and bots.
Yeah, like Facebook, we have bots.
Evil bots like @calva , @steemster3 & @weenis that trashes our post comments.
@cheetach reminds me more of RoboCop than the fastest cat on the planet. It finds and reports plagiarised content. So if were you, I wouldn't even think of stealing others work. That doesn't work here.
Steemit whales are the early users and investors that have a significant influence on Steemit.
We have two huge balaenoptera musculus @ned and @dan - creators of Steemit.
We have Steemit's live legend - whale @berniesanders.
Nobody knows his real identity. The only thing that is clear - his love for magic green plants...
...and his generosity for sharing upvotes like modern-day Robin Hood.
Trust me. When Steemit whale upvotes your post, you will feel it.
The ground will shake
The lights will dim
And your Steemit wallet will fill up with a several hundred bucks.
Then there are Steemit dolphins - small investors, users whose posts went viral.
Steemit dolphins are like your good uncle Junior, who gave you $10 bill every time you visited his house when you were a kid...
Not enough for new iPhone 7...
But enough to buy a pack of Hershey's Kisses.
Although dolphin's upvote might not be as significant as their bigger cousins, it still brings a smile to you face and a few dollars into your Steemit's wallet.
And then there is you. A minnow. The tiniest creature in Steemit's Ocean. There are literally thousands of you over here.
Probably, you've already looked at the front page with all these posts worth several thousand dollars. And thought to yourself "That's easy. I can do even better". But chances are that your first post will fail just like mine did. And that's alright, failure is natural. People, businesses fail every single day. Get up, dust off, find out what you did wrong, remember what was right and carry on.
Haha.... very nice and clear explanation! Steem on!
Thank you!
very cool! Well done thank you for your time! Here is one of my posts for your upvoting pleasure! blessed be
