Dear @teamsteem, after reading your post I am now faced with an awful dillema. I joined yesterday and made my first introduction post.
Your helpful tips make me want to craft a new introduction post that really excels, since it led immediately to new and fresh ideas about what I truly want my introduction to look like.
Should I delete my account and start over?
You should definitely keep your post! - It's really great. Just like teamsteem said, you could do another one later on, when you've gained some traction and when you've built yourself a decent following. - However, I wouldn't use the "introducemyself" tag at that point, but you could easily use "introduction" for instance.
"introduceyourself" posts are often rewarded rather good compared to other posts on a regular basis and if you publish multiple post using that tag, you risk being flagged and that will not only affect your potential rewards, it will also hurt your reputation.
Just some friendly advice :)
Thanks for the friendly advice, it's really appreciated. I won't be re-introducing myself, but rather focus on doing whatever I can to help fueling the Steem train. Blogging will be a continuous improving thing for me, but I certainly can tell many friends about this amazing platform and community.
Well no! Are you kidding! You're post made so great. Plus it look good. I love your post.
You can do another introduction post later or just another one. I'd wait though.
Don't post to make money. Post to make yourself happy first then maybe money will come. I know you haven't mentioned money but I felt like mentioning it.
I don't exactly know what to advice but clearly don't create another account. That's a no-brainer.
Ok, I have thought about it. But only for 2 seconds, and yes you are completely right, I will stick with my account as is. What maybe a no-brainer for you was something real for me to consider. Then again, I'm still trying to get the feel of this platform and I'm thinking on how to contribute meaningfully.
What I have decided for now, is that I will not be going to aim for upvotes or fame at this moment. I will simply blog the best I can, read and re-edit, improve, cut and have it checked by one of my friends before posting. Just focus on making the best content I can and improve at every step.
Also, I'm telling other people here in The Netherlands about this community. That'll be my primary way to help this platform grow and blossom with rich content. I'm a firm believer in a fantastic future for Steemit and will contribute in any way I can, even although I' m not a developer.
really nice post..I really motivated and than you so much
I would delete and re-do
Hi @lanceman, you're just kidding right?
My apologies @fuzztone, I meant delete the orig. post and re-do that, not delete your whole account!
Don't you think that might be a little unfair to the people that have already upvoted it?
Oh, if you have several upvotes and don't want to affect that leave it. It's not unreasonable to create a secondary intro post (have seen it done many times). No one should bother you about that, just explain that now that you have learned some tips and tricks you want to provide a more thorough directive on your initiatives. You can come at it from a specific angle such as a favorite hobby or topic (sport, cooking, photography, etc). Use the tags 'introduceyourself' and 'introducemyself' - also 'verified' if you are able to post a selfie with Steemit sign, date and your username on it. I never took advantage of those tips and probably missed out on a lot of follows. But no worries and creating a second one, it makes good sense and people understand
