Beginners Guide To Getting Started With Steemit (REVISED), by @shayne || 6. BONUS TIP!
6. BONUS TIP!
It can seem like slow going here on Steemit at first. But once you get a good momentum. growth seems to be exponential.
However, it can be hard to get that ball rolling. So here's an idea that you can try to start filling your wallet with some Steem Power and give yourself a good kickstart.
Be a part of the Steemit economy
Do you have a marketable skill? Sell it for Steem!
When I really started on Steemit, I didn't have anything and I wasn't interested in buying any Steem to invests. So what I did in order to build up some funds was to sell commissions for avatars for Steemit currency.
You can check it out here:
That's just one example of a good way to snowball your account. One thing that I would do was to complete the commission and then make a post about it. That way I would have made some Steem off of the commission itself and then also have a good chance of making a little more as well as gaining exposure and marketing for my commissions.
So that's it!

Thanks for redoing these :) I started reading your original set back when I was sitting on my fingers for a week waiting for approval.
Have you noticed the #steemgigs tag that's trying to get up and going?
Thank you for this series. I've avoided starting to post because I wasn't sure what was really expected, i.e. Introduction, then multiple posts to get established. Glad to know it's better to do introduction and then spend time reading, commenting and resteeming before starting on posting..
