I got to know about steemit.com in a section of the largest social website in my country, nairaland.com.
It has been a loving and fun filled experience so far since i joined the platform, sometimes i even wonder how wonderful the person that shared the information with us then is, for not keeping it to him self.
I have learnt a lot of things on the platform such as;
The spirit of patience and "can do", when you see your posts gets little or no attention but with the believe that it will improve as time goes and i dish out wonderful posts which increases my reputation.
I have also learnt the art of putting my thoughts in to words, in a way that it will benefit the readers.
I love the platform due to the opportunities it presents for me to meet wonderful humans and benefit mutually.
My question about the platform is; how possible is it to grow on the platform without investing external funds, such as buying steem for steem power or paying bidbots.
Thank you for this opportunity @littlescribe, you are wonderful.
The fastest easiest way is to flip all of your earned SBD into Steem and power up with each post. That is unless you need the money for your direct life at that moment.
This does a few different things.
1.) It shows you are not here just for a money grab.
2.) It increases your vote power with each power up.
3.) It will get you a slider faster which will allow you to vote more.
I would also suggest to find contest to enter that are giving away free SBD that will allow you to do the above. Simple contest like this post. Something that is easily won and fair to everyone. There are many contest set up for the new guy to win and all you have to do is enter.
I would also suggest not re-steeming too many other people's post until you have a fair following. In the event someone goes to your blog and all they see if other people's blogs they will have a harder time finding your content.
Wow, i really appreciate this detailed comment of yours. Thank you for your patience.
I will try out some of the things you just listed and see how it goes. You are a darling.
Great feedback for us all. Thanks.
This are all EXCELLENT comments, eroded. I 100% agree with everything. I think I powered up all my posts for over a year. I'm currently saving up to buy a car, so I'm taking cash for a little while. But it hurts. I wanna just power up. :0)
And yes, contests are the way to go. New or not. You can find all sorts to suit your fancy.
You are welcome! And YOU are wonderful.
I checked out nairaland.com. It kind of reminds me of craigslist.org, only it's more involved. How fascinating to see that you got here because of that. I think it's awesome. Welcome aboard, and good luck in your adventure!
Yes, you are right, its a website with rich contents and forums. Thank you for the compliment.
