Hello!
My name is Nick Jackson and I am new to the site. I would appreciate any and all advice possible such as what the recommended posts per day are and tips on growing here on Steemit. What can I do to maximise my profile and posts? How can I increase engagements on my posts? Etc.
A little bit about myself!
I live in a county called Shropshire in England and have done all my life. I am a big football (soccer) and boxing fan and have been ever since a young age. I was first introduced to football at the age of 3 when my father and uncle would take me every week to matches. I began playing the sport competitively for a few teams in multiple different positions, all be it I wasn't very good! Boxing was introduced to me by my father who I used to watch fights with on the tv. I briefly fell out of touch with the sport before falling in love with it all over again and I now write articles online for www.ringnews24.com (sorry in advance on if outside links aren't allowed)
I write in my spare time and it is a brilliant way to let some steam off and relax. I especially enjoy reading the comments to my work and seeing it shared across all of the social media platforms (my twitter handle is nick.jacks0n by the way ;) sorry for the plug! ) I have worked a few jobs so far including a summer job for my granddad's building company along side my father for the duration of 4 years, a window fitting company and currently a waiter/barman.
I absolutely love TV and music with my favourite shows being the likes of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, the Walking Dead and Arrested Development as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm and my taste in music is practically anything! I love pop, r&b, rap, hip hop, disco, summer music and pretty much anything but my favourite genre is indie rock such as the Arctic Monkeys etc.
I pride myself on being a respectful, nice young lad and I absolutely love to help out in my community, both home and online! I try to do my good deeds and I have picked up countless awards and recognitions for my work in my region.
If you are wondering what I will most likely be posting here, it will be all sorts but primarily sports. I look forward to hearing from you all in the future!
Welcome and good luck)
Thank you!

hello @nick.jackson
you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learn t the hard way.
First,write on your area of strength, don't struggle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.
don't beg for followers.
When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.
When i joined, after my intro post. i went low key and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.
Again,participate in contests, it will connect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders.
Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone to reply on the go. This will help you build your followers.
I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learn t the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )
once more, you are welcome.. Let's keep in touch
