My Introduction to Steemit Community - Aspiring Writer

Good evening, everyone. I am Joe. Basically your average Joe, at that. I am looking forward to being part of this growing and very promising community. I am particularly excited because I would like to use this platform to pursue a goal I've had for a very long time.

I enjoy reading a lot, and I would like to improve my writing and story-telling abilities. The two biggest things I lack is practice and feedback. I am thinking I may be able to get both here with your kind assistance. I would like to use the blogging tools here to release short stories I have written to get comfortable with putting my work out there. If you have any constructive criticism I would welcome it. I try to write mostly fiction.

I cannot promise that it will all be to your taste. But I will strive to do my best. I expect to release part one of a short story a little later this week, I hope you get a chance to look it over. Incidentally, it happens to be a Steampunk story.

Thank you and I hope to see you all around.
Joe

Welcome to steemit @joetraver. 👋🏻

Hello, Joe, and Welcome to Steemit.

With your goals of becoming a writer, you've come to what is probably the finest platform for that. Steemit has a large, growing community, an excellent pre-fab blogging platform, and a wide-ranging index of topics thru which you can target your audience.

(For years, I worked part-time as a writer, but never managed to parlay writing into a full-time gig. Until about 6 months ago, when I started on Steemit. Now, I'm thrilled that I can call myself a full-time, freelance writer. Hope you can soon do the same.)


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!

Welcome to steemit and nice to meet you @joetraver. How are you and your journey so far? Never hesitate to ask if you have any confusions, okay? I hope to see more of your future blogs and keep up the good work, I know you have what it takes and stay positive. =)

Hello @joetraver welcome to steemit....I am looking forward to read your short stories....have a great day ahead.

welcome to steemit, My simple advice to you is, don't always upvote every post,Your upvotes matter! Make sure you're using your upvote power to reward content you find genuinely valuable, not just out of habit.

Welcome aboard @joetraver! I look forward to seeing what you got.

Welcome to steemit, looks like i'm one of the first people here to welcome you! I like to upvote new users when they make new content so follow me if you want me to check out blogs that you post. I make funny videos on my page and look foward to view the content you will be posting. See you around! #Iupvoted
