My First Day at Steemit

in #introduceyourself6 years ago

Hi, my name is Samuel from Accra- Ghana. A fresh graduate of Ghana Technology University College and studied Information Technology. I've been blogging since the past 3 years mostly about technology.

I've heard a lot about steemit and decided to try it out today. I've noticed this is a wonderful platform with wonderful writers and people here. I also noticed you don't just get exposure for what you post here but also get rewards for your post which is awesome. I've always been looking for this opportunity and thank God I've found it today.

Let me cut this short as this is my first post on STEEMIT. Thank you steemit for giving me the opportunity to join this wonderful platform and I look forward to meeting the wonderful people of steemit. Thank you.

Hello kaywp! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome to Steem Community @kaywp! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

In the New Steemians project, we help new members of steem by education and resteeeming their articles. Get your articles resteemed too for maximum exposure. You can learn more about it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gaman/new-steemians-project-launch
