Hello, @theaudgirl, and welcome to Steemit.
As you noted in your vid, this platform is a diverse and very positive community. With your range of interests and your passion, I'm sure you have plenty to bring to it. And you will surely be a welcome member of this ever-growing community.
Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
- Be yourself.
- Be interesting and informative.
- Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
- Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
Thank you for the advice, I appreciate you taking the time! I will make sure to hit each of those criteria.
I just noticed that I posted double advice. Just got back from 2-week vacation, and I guess my "catching-up-on-Steemit" mania has made me confused.
Hahaha no worries! I didn't want you to think I was ignoring one of your comments so I replied to both because I do appreciate the advice. :)
