Steemit How To: Write A Good Post For Newbies

Is anyone else so excited by Steemit that you want to tell all your friends about it? I told my friend @jesskneale about it and now she is here (so go say hi to her!!). I also told my mum about it last night (haha, anyone else told their mum yet?) and even my dog wants a Steemit account now! 🐶

On that note, in talking to my friend@jesskneale, I have been reminded of how genuinely confusing it is to set up a Steemit account and know how to create your posts. So I wanted to put together a little guide on how to create the best quality post possible when you first join Steemit.

1. Be Yourself: Everyone is different. Tell us about who you are: What made you join Steemit? What do you want to do here? What makes you happy? 🙋

2. Use Pictures: 🌈 Posts with pictures always more appealing (to me at least) than posts that are just text. If you are writing anIntroduceYourself, definitely include a picture of yourself. I use imgur to add the links for my images, however you can also use others like imgsafe.org. If you need a step by step on how to add this is a great post by @billbutler



If you are writing a post about a different topic, it always looks nice when people include a stock photo for an eye-catching thumbnail. You can get stock photos from a wesbite like www.pexels.com



1. Format The Text: ❗ By centering images and text, using bolds, italics, making text larger and presently your links attractively. For a comprehensive guide of formatting in markdown check out this post by@cryptofiend on Markdown for Beginners

2. Use Emojis: Not important for everyone - but I 💕 love 💕 communicating through Emoji's, here is the list that I use, created by@blueorgy

3. Tag Smarter: Steemit is great because you can post about whatever you like. Be mindful that what you tag will impact who sees your post. 🎯
