Hi all!
I am an active member on Steemit for 8 days now! :-D
When I became a member I didn't know what to do exactly, but then I thought: it's just like any other Social Media. Imagine, you are starting with Facebook without anyone you know. How hard would it be to gain some followers/friends who are truely interested in your content.
I can say: it's hard, but it isn't impossible. A lot of people are trying to get some followers by "follow for a follow" I have tried to distance myself from this tactic. I have tried to gain 10 followers each day by commenting and blogging relevant info.
Along with my membership, I have bought some Steem on Poloniex. Since then I have moved to Bittrex after a few days. xD
I will keep posting my experiences and I am planning to post a blog when I reach 100+ followers. Fingers crossed! :-)
