Hello steemians,
As promised in my post few days ago to provide solutions to problems newbies are facing on steemit one of which was plagiarism by a bot known as @cheetah
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
Ok firstly,for those who dont know,cheetah is a bot on steemit that was created by @kyle, it automatically detects copied posts and identify copy cats by upvoting their post and leaving a comment below advising readers that the post was copied
♢♢♢♢♢
Now lets move into productive ways of avoiding this bot:-
♢♢♢♢♢
READING BOOKS:- yes,I mean it,you dont always have to go around on websites and copy their posts,you can buy and read productive books that will widen your knowledge and give you better understanding about various topics and concepts,you will be surprised when you see the magnitude of votes and views of your post when you carefully read about a concept in a book and make a post out of it based on what you have learned.
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
2- STUDYING ONLINE:-this is quite similar to reading of books and educative content,the only difference here is you extensively read online and educate yourself about what you wish to write on,i advise most newbies to go online to educate themselves because the net is a very big place full of information,you can learn from various posts and build your own unique post with your own words,infact i believe your post will be better than those on online websites where you copy posts
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
3- WATCHING TUTORIALS ONLINE:-this is quite simple,all you have to do is watch various tutorials about the topic or concept you wish to discuss, @jerrybanfield is a very good author on steemit youtube and twitter and he has a lot of educative well explained tutorial about various topics...you dont have to use his words...just write a post about something similar in your own words
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
4- BRAINSTORMING:-involves deep thinking about what posts you can write on and ideas about perfect write up...carefully do some brainstorming and you will see yourself getting to the peak as the best author on steemit
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
5- FREESTYLE WRITING:- a lot of newbies have complained a lot about not being to do the above listed solutions, well to those newbies i advise you to try out freestyle writing which you just get a pen and paper and write whatever comes to your mind,the unconcious human mind can be of great help here..as we walk around everyday...a lot of intresting events take place that we might not be aware of...freestyle writing brings this events to out of you
♢♢♢♢♢
♢♢♢♢♢
In summary guys,i advise you to be hardworking and determined on steemit...@cheetah does not upvote your post if u learn from another post and explain it in your own words...besides through following the above guidelines,u become a more productive human being to both yourself and the public in general
♢♢♢♢♢
Thanks a lot for reading,I remain my humble self

Thinks because I put some post from my website and still cheetah said had copied from somewhere else.
@g0t4y ...if u want to use a post from your website...all you have to do is read d post all over again and apply different words wen writing on steemit,cheetah wont flag u that way
Great post and nice topic. Lol. If you are a Nigerian author, nigeria should be one of your tags.
Tnx...done
Very cool post. Indeed people forget sometimes nothing comes without effort or money.
Dont copy other people
Exactly. ..am just trying to provide people with better ways to partake in activity on steemit without copying
Honestly, as long as you are just copying your own content over on the steemit platform, I don't see the harm. I understand that plagiarizing is for the birds, but when you make the posts originally, you should have the ability to duplicate them across the board. I know that this is probably more directed towards copy and pasters of other people's stuff, but I think that Cheetah bot coming to your post is an advantage. They give you a free up vote and automatically introduce your audience to your other platforms. I noticed on the posts I have seen it show up, that it's vote's worth is higher than the other people up voting in a lot of cases. good post though!
