Steem School EP 23 - How to Become an Integral Part of a Steemit Community
Becoming a part of the core group of a Steemit community is a matter of patience.
But how do you find Steemit communities? To find Steemit communities you just have to check out the "Community" tag and keep your eyes open.
These Steemit communities usually have a Discord server to communicate with each other.
However, do not join a community to get upvotes, that shit will backfire most of the times because you do not get along at all.
Join a community that you are seriously interested in and then you join their Discord server.
Step #1 - A Good First Impression
To make a good first impression you simply check the channels of that Discord server on the left to look if there are channels called "Rules" for example.
After you have read a little bit on all the channels it is time to introduce yourself (and you introduce yourself in the main language of the server, which is usually English).
Also, if the server does not have any rules then I highly recommend that you do not post your links to channels they don't belong to!
Usually, there is a channel called "Post-Promotion" where you can paste your post into.
I recommend that you introduce yourself before you do that.
Now you have introduced yourself and got an idea of the people on the server, the rules and how everything works on the server.
Step #2 - Becoming Part of the Core
To become a part of the core you will have to help the guys on the top to improve the community.
Ask them if you can somehow help them to improve the community and do not do that on the first day.
Become a part of the community and write with everyone before you ask them.
If you can help them and you do help them then you have become part of the "important" people.
Step #3 - Consistency
Being an important part of the community without being there on a consistent basis (on Steemit that means every day) won't happen.
You have to be there, communicate with all kinds of members, ask the VIP if you can somehow help to improve the community (after a month minimum) and repeat.
Like that you will become an integral part of a community that you always wanted to be a part of.
I, for example, am interested in hardcore 24/7 self-improvement which is why I have created my own community + Steemschool.
Conclusion
Join a community you are interested in (and not for upvotes), communicate with all members for a month and then you can ask the leadership if you can somehow help to improve the community and repeat!
If you join a community you are not interested in then you will have a hard time becoming an integral part because people sense that you are only there for the $$$.
So keep it real and don't fool yourself & others.

"Why now Ice cream"? Haha. You're a comedian. But what you said is true. You have to go into a community with the mindset to contribute something and not just go there for the money. Wise words.
I've heard of some communities but haven't locked in on one to be a part of and better yet one that I would want to start. At least not yet. You never know maybe one day I will graduate to berserker level. Maybe.
I can be really funny sometimes, camera becomes more & more natural to me.
What it takes to become a Berserker:
To apply for membership you must do the following things:
1. Improve yourself every day.
2. Publish 1 excellent post per day on Steem for at least 14 days in a row.
3. Participate in the chat every day and write at least 5 sentences for at least 14 days in a row.
4. Read this article: https://www.operationwerewolf.com/war-journal/2017/05/24/pressure/
5. Watch the video at the end of this comment
6. Accept the rules for members.
7. Read the book "Might is Right" by Ragnar Redbeard
8. Have a working microphone with which we can clearly understand you.
9. Not spam.
10. Not be invisible on this server.
11. Not lie.
I know you want me to focus on the message of creating genuine responses, provide selfless services for communities, & how to find such communities I'd be glad to share on mainstream social media to bring awareness...
BUT I am but just a human so naturally I could only focus on the convenient knife and the ice cream. #Consistency lol I will check out the trending tab and see where I fit in. Thank you
Your choice & your life.

Apply what you learn and your wallet will get bigger.
Great suggestions! I have just recently discovered Steemit communities and have joined a couple. I am quite active in one of them and I like it there. I try in my own way to make the conversations interesting
Sounds good Krulze.
This is Awesome material for a Newbie like myself, had no clue of any Discord Groups....thnx a lot, doing my research today!!!

I didn't know about communities and stuff.
I'll have to give it a try and see if I can fit somewhere
You surely will.
