First post...My story and what I'm all about?!

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

First of all I'd like the thank the Steem community for approving me and also thank myself for finally stepping on my fear and getting the courage to start my first post. I appreciate all you guys who are reading this and all your support.

Why did I need to get the courage first? Because I read here very good posts, well structured, full of quality content, well at least some of the posts, the category I wanna be in from now on. I am not a blogger, but I love sharing my thoughts. I love reading, I love debating about various subjects.

Been doing this on Facebook philosophy groups for few years now. Few months ago I decided to leave all those discussion groups because they were very time consuming and distracting. Even though I was getting quality time from exchanging ideas with like minded people, I wasn't doing much with my life, I was stagnating.

All that extra time and energy, that I stopped wasting on Facebook, I invested in myself. I learned every day after work, about how to start a business with little investment. I finally motivated myself enough and managed to start a small business on eBay. Looked complicated at first, but I managed to grow a little bit every month, frustrating at times, but now I can finally pay my rent and buy food, doing this, which is amazing. I quit my 9-5 job, which I learned that it can be pretty frightening and at the same time very relieving. Now I have even more time to do exactly what I was born to do. The urge for writing and sharing my ideas and knowledge showed up even stronger than ever before.

Thankfully I found out about the Steem community. PERFECT TIMING!!! Needless to say I immediately noticed its potential, and realized that my efforts will be rewarded if I put in enough work, which is actually a pleasure for me, as long as I am free to be original and not limited by an agenda imposed by a 9 to 5 job.

For my future followers I will be writing topics that I am very into. They might not be hot trending topics, but I'm sure I will find my niche.

Topics such as: life, science, e-commerce, metaphysics, nutrition, healthy lifestyle, psychology, occult knowledge, ancient civilizations, universe, quantum theory, spirituality, philosophy are among my favorites and I can talk day and night about it.

I can only hope that I will inspire many of you guys, the same as I will probably find inspiration in your posts, on new subjects that I still have to learn about.

If you have any tips for me, please let me know in the comment section. I will gratefully receive your wisdom. Have a wonderful day people!

Hello maximilianblanc! 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!
