Steemit Newbie Coming in Hot | 1st Post (AHH!)

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)


Hi Steemit!!

Pretty pumped to be on here and FINALLY post my introduction. As I mention in my video, I was nervous to join (and even a lil nervous writing this post) BUT I am excited to join a large community that seem to be full of encouraging and positive individuals.

In addition to giving you all a glimpse into who I am with words below, I thought I would also post a video introducing myself to you all to 1.) Show you I am a real person and 2.) To add some personality and a voice to what you are reading here. :)

So, who is @theaudgirl?

Screen Shot 2018-02-13 at 3.37.47 PM.png

I named myself “theaudgirl” because I strongly believe in embracing individuality and what makes you different even if you stand out and may be considered an “oddfit” in society. I’m “aud” (get it? Like “odd” lol), quirky, laugh a ton, and try my best to stay authentic to myself in this social media age full of filters.

Just like a lot of people who join Steemit, I was attracted to the idea that is a platform that is a new era of social media. To me, this positive community is what social media was intended for – sharing interests, documenting life, and making genuine connections with others around the world. Additionally, I love that it integrates blockchain technology, which I feel has the capability to change the world for the better in so many ways.

What You Will See Me Post

While this may change as things come up, these are the topics that you will see me focus on:

  • Fitness : My stance on fitness is one that combines fitness and body empowerment. Often, people think that the two contradict as in if I believe your body is perfect and free from flaws (which it is) why should you work out? Simply, it is to encourage people to live a long, healthy life. I don’t think of being healthy as focusing on numbers, like the scale, but more so focusing on energy levels. I try to help people improve their relationship with food, fitness, and their body. There’s a balance with food and life, and being healthy should never stress you out, so I mainly focus on an 80% rule for eating healthy - ice cream is my weak spot ;).

Screen Shot 2018-02-13 at 3.43.23 PM.png

  • Recipes : A guilty pleasure of mine is looking at all the delicious recipes that people post on social media and I want to share with you some that I try and also create new ones for you all.

  • Cryptocurrency : I could research cryptocurrency for days and in the past, my Friday nights consisted of looking at charts and trying to find the best time to buy in. #FridayNightGoals am I right? So, plan to see my take on some coins, updates in the crypto world, and posts that aim to simplify cryptocurrency and blockchain.

  • Life : I plan to share with you stories that you may find interesting or funny. They may be random (weird stuff tends to happen to me), or they may be recaps from a weekend trip that I take.

  • My Dog Because who doesn’t love animals?

(Couldn't have snapped the picture at a more perfect time... her face says it all haha)

If you made it to the bottom of this, thank you for taking the time to get to know me! Looking forward to sharing more and can't wait to get to know the Steemit community!

Please comment any tips or advice you have!

By the way, you are already doing very good on steemit. You go girlll!

Welcome to steemit! Im sure you will love it here! Great intro :)

Thank you!

Welcome to Steemit @theaudgirl, good luck. Funny little dog btw.😄

Welcome to DTube @theaudgirl :-)

THANK YOU! Was nervous to post on Dtube but happy I did. Awesome platform. Do you have any tips for a dtube newbie?

Welcome :)

Hello, @theaudgirl, and welcome to Steemit.

That's a great introduction and an excellent post.

Apparently you have plenty to bring to this platform and to your fellow Steemians. And given the quality of this post, we can assume that you will continue to create high-quality posts full of useful and significant content. Do that, and you'll be well on your way to success in this community.

Also, it's a good idea to get out there and "curate" every day. Scroll through your Steemit feed, scroll through those feeds that you are passionate about, and find posts that are interesting,

Read, comment, and upvote. Rinse and repeat. Do that, and you'll be well on your way to MAJOR success in this community.

Best of luck, and Full Steem Ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a thoughtful comment and for the advice! I will definitely do what you're saying to and make sure to curate every day in some way, even if that is commenting and upvoting great content!

Thank you again - I appreciate your kind words.

Cool. That's all you really have to do. Create great (or at least "high-quality") content, and find, read, comment on, and upvote that great (or at least "high-quality") content produced by others.

Voila, success on Steemit.

2 follow-up bits of advice ...

Longer posts are better and more lucrative, particularly those that have a balance of fine test and good photos / images.

At the same, however, that can be difficult at first. So, shorter posts are OK, but for those, it's best to do either of the following:

1 - Enter regular photo contests, such as this one ... @photocontests (run by @juliank)
and the photo challenges run by @theexplorer

2 - Make a series of posts. If you check out my blog, @majes.tytyty, you'll see that I do a Lou Reed Lyrics series. I started with a full anthology, but now I'm posting the individual entries with brief commentary.

Such short posts are not very time consuming for either me or the readers, but somewhat informative, possibly interesting, and minimally lucrative.

Onwards!!

welcome

Thank you! Happy to finally be on here.

Congratulations! Your post has been upvoted by Reach Out, which is proudly sponsored by @eturnerx. Our goal is to support Nigerian minnows on Steemit. Join our discord group https://discord.gg/NWAkKfn

Thank you for the upvote!

Glad to see you join in Steemit. Although we are from a different country, now it is in one community that is Steemit. I think this is a very remarkable one, can unite people around the world, and teach us to get to know each other, and with good ethics. Unlike the other social media, just full of falsehood. Initially I think Steemit just like other social media, but it was not so. Steemit has changed the mindset of people in my area, with Steemit unifying us all, despite the age difference, different classes, but that has all changed since Steemit.
I hope the future with Steemit I can visit your country and get acquainted with Steemit community in your place.
Again, Welcome to Steemit.
I'm @fazila and Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome & I completely agree -- it is a unifying community. :) Love that there is so much diversity here. It's nice to meet you!

#SHARKATTACK da shark.jpgWELCOME to Steemit. As the great response to your post shows, there is great community support here. Please remember that with great power also comes great responsibility. Find a community you can support and keep the STEEM love going. RESPECT

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.

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
  4. Be yourself.
  5. Be interesting and informative.
  6. 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.)
  7. 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. :)

Hi theaudgirl,

Welcome to steem! Great intro post :D I thought since you're interested in the crypto world, maybe you would also want to learn more about the tech behind it also :P

I have a website called learningblockchains.com which aims to teach everyone about blockchain tech and all about cryptocurrencies :)

I'll definitely be following you! I'm also very interested in what keeps you motivated when it comes to exercise, It seems to be the thing I find the hardest!

Again great intro post :) Look forward to seeing some more content!

I never say no to learning more about crypto and blockchain -- there's always so much to learn so you got it - I will definitely check out your website. :)

Motivation is always the hardest since in fitness, you see the results over time. What helps me is focusing on the little things and being proud for reaching that small goal (which leads to the larger goal over time). Also, what helps me is to workout for the right reasons. Too often people look at the gym like it is a punishment, and changing your perspective to associating it with something positive (like lifelong health) will help.

Appreciate your follow and the great question! Followed you back. :)

Yeah, I think that blockchain and crypto is probably the most exciting thing that there is at the moment, Like you, I can't get enough of researching it! I wish I could be paid to just talk about it to people! Maybe steem is the way to do that :P

Yeah, that is a good point, work towards small goals. I appreciate that answer. I tend to get into exercise and it last's about a month and then my motivation just dies off. This is always my problem haha.

Hello Audrey and welcome to this awesome community! You seem to be a pretty kind person and I guess there will be some quality content released from you.
If you're into crypto make sure to also check out @paolajane. She's also talking about this topic regularly and I guess some more girl power in this segment on steemit would be nice.
I wish you a lot of fun and success out here. It's great to see that you already got some DTube love on your first post :)

Thanks for the suggestion @liveyourdream ! I actually am already following her and love her content (especially the fact that she does cover all things crypto). And I agree, more girl power on this topic would be nice :)

Awesome introcutionpost!
