What up Steemians, Welcome to the d00k13 Digest, Let's just Step into it! Steemit Tips coming at ya, figured I would touch back on a few of the things I have found to be helpful along the way. This platform can be challenging for those just starting and I believe that it is our responsibility as users of the platform to help introduce new users to the nuances of this beautiful platform.
#1 MSP ( Minnow Support Project/PALnet )
"MSP is a community resource for new or small Steemit accounts. We provide a place to meet people, listen to a 24/7 streaming radio station staffed by Steemians, chat and network based on interests or location, help with informal services like proofreading or formatting, and have a community bot for a modest boost to help your posts get rolling!"

@minnowsupport is by far the largest community around and has the best system of support, my inspiration for #OneLoveDTube :)
Get yourself a decent image editing software, the free one offered by canva.com works well for me combined with the snapshot option available with @dtube
Simple yet catching, to the point but not vage, get the idea?
If you find that you do not have the time like myself to review everyone's content, why not come to a mutual agreement like I have with @gasparcha, we try our best to help each other the best of our ability
Automate the process with Steem Auto by @mahdiyari, so far one of the best services I have used for this being very customizable
While your there follow the #OneLoveDTube curation trail to help support our community authors and earn curation rewards at the same time!
Are you being overlooked? Why not go and find other users that are being overlooked of a mutual interest and try support each other through comments & upvotes?
This platform is not like your typical social media sites, genuine comments and interaction will gain you the most followers plus be the most rewarding experience you can have along the way
#7 Why Are You Here?
Being forward with the reasons you are here can help how your messages are being recieved
I started on a journey of distraction, landed in a place of interest with a bottomless pit of knowledge to absorb and ultimately money brought me to this platform but it is my personal growth that keeps me here
This is my therapy for life, make it yours too!
#8 Join a Community
The @OneLoveDTube community has made the difference for me, find the one that suits you or use ours as a jumping point also check out @SteEmpowerment
Communities help, however they can, may it be visibility or just a pat on the back we all need support as one point or another
Private discussion for those things that you may not want logged on the blockchain for reasons of embarrassment
#9 Portals
Use every tool at your disposal, don't swing the hammer when you have the nail gun ;)
Each portal is a window to access the steem blockchain through, each with their own focus and niche
@busy is great for new users, plays @dtube in feed, offers chance of upvote using their portal and #busy tag
Don't stick to just one try something new like @steepshot as the instagram replacement for the blockchain
#10 BE YOURSELF
I cannot hide my personality and at times it bleeds through into my content. I have the choice to be fake and hide it or allow my followers to see and learn from me, what would you do?
There is nothing more interesting to me then watching people's body language, this means that if your not being true to yourself I am not interested in what you have to say!
Be true to yourself and you will find the lasting relationships you're actually looking for not just meaningless in between banter that may never lead to anything and most likely will just consume your time.
