Introduction to Steemit

Hello, Steemians! I'm Obinna Anyaibe and I'm very new to the Steemit community. Well, not THAT new, actually. I opened this account early March this year, but I was so overwhelmed with the basics of Steemit, I abandoned my account until now.

I'm a medical student and I have a WordPress blog where I curate articles for teens and young adults. I mostly write on self-improvement, and I often share tips that can help one improve one's writing and blogging skills.

It's very similar to the kind of things I'll be sharing here. And since I'm a die hard fan of flash fiction (especially the horror genre), I'll share some of my stories here occasionally. 😊

I look forward to having an amazing experience with you guys. ❤IMG_20180505_111100_226.jpg

Hello shardsofbards! 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!
