I literally JUST joined about a day ago, feel free to browse my blog and confirm!
I experimented with the first six posts, I read other users' informative posts about the best way to use the platform, and I just dove right in.
Here's the link to the post I am referencing in the title:
@kareemaudi/how-i-steem-and-how-you-should-too
Took me about 15 or 20 minutes to prepare, but it was informative and more importantly, it was genuine . I think the community here, in general, is quite smart. After all, most are probably researching blockchain tech in some way or another and that's why we are here in the first place. So we can sniff a spamming or a post with no value before it is even published.
STAY TRUE TO YOU - Do that, and I think you will not falter here.
I bookmarked 2 posts right when I joined the platform that have a wealth of information about the best way to Steem and I will also share them below. These have proven to be valuable resources for me and I am STILL going through all the links provided in them both.
Just one more thing I want to share here. When I first created that 7th post, I refreshed my blog and saw that it received 3 cents, and 3 up votes. I went to shave and 30 minutes later I came back to a $70 payout figure!
That. Is. Insane.
As promised, find the links below:
1 - @lehard/steemit-for-dummies-5-simple-steps-from-beginner-to-steemian-80-lvl-50-useful-links-2-edition# -- Thank you @lehard for putting this list together!
2- @cryptoctopus/the-truth-about-ridiculous-high-steemit-payout -- Thank you@cryptoctopus! I actually went through a few more of your posts and found lots of gems and bits of useful tips!
Happy Steeming To ALL!
