My son keeps telling me that the name of the game here is to write what you are thinking, then people will VOTE on the post and with any luck they will COMMENT the post and then RESTEEM the post.
OK, so I am kindly asking everyone who sees this to VOTE, COMMENT and RESTEEM this post.
I SHALL VOTE ON, & REPLY TO ALL COMMENTS.
HENCE "SHARING THE WEALTH".
Look forwards to seeing how much truth there was in what our son Chris told us.
Yeah I also think that you need to have more content so that people will be willing to resteem your post because it will apear on their own wall(I am not sure is it called wall here). However, upvote is an easier thing. Maybe you can start with some topics that you are really interested in
OK, so it's not quite like Twitter where I said as much as possible in as little as possible.
I like cooking and I have 4 children (5 with the husband)
So I guess I can start from there.
Thanks.
You definitely need to make sure there is something worth commenting on or upvoting, content is important. ;)
OK, point taken. I see that I need to somewhat change my habits picked up on Twitter.
So basically what it boils down to is what my son said, "build it and they will come"
I like your idea @sylviamiller
Did my part of course. Wish you all the best, and good luck!
LOVE THE LOGO.... CAN I COPY IT?
Please!
@sylviamiller
Feel free to not only copy it, but also use it, change it, and share it :)
Thank You.
I will get my son to download it from here.
Done my dear missus.
Thank you!
& I'm a Mam / Mr's
Fixed that up mam.
NHF Sir, all is well that ends well!
I guess it all depends on what exactly is in your thoughts!
Saying what one thinks was punishable by death once upon a time, in fact in some backwards societies and anticultures it still is!
Can't wait to read your comment!
I'll get back to you later!
I'm still waiting!
I'm going to go take a nap, it is way too early over here, so when I get up and after I drive the kids to school I will get back and read up on what people have to say as far as advice, suggestions or just plain old "do this, like that" directions.
THANKS EVERYONE.....
FUR = Follow, Upvote & ReSteem!
Stick with it! Write about what you love, and comment liberally (with value) throughout the various posts you find to be awesome!
Looks like you are well on your way already.... Good Luck!
I see that in reality this is more like a mix of the other social sites out there.
Not quite like the ones I used, but I can use my experience from there and relay it over here.
I don't think anyone will yell at me if I don't write essay length posts.
Thanks for the positive thinking!
A nice, simple post that describes how to use this platform :)
I can say that it may seem to be the case, but after reading some of the comments giving guidance, I have to admit that fellow Steemers expect more from posts.
Maybe not everyone here, could be that there are more people like myself here who are used to Twitter, but from the flow of info above, it seems that I shall have to change my way of communicating via social sites.
I think that's what it comes down to, if the content is indeed valuable. But what's valuable for me might not be for another and vice versa. But it's a huge community already you're likely to find lots of interesting content here.
I already have to agree with you!
There is just so much info flying around here, I have tried to follow everyone possible.
It is just amazing, I think that it is much better than the #%&/book site I use to communicate with my relo's overseas.
But Skype etc get that job done much better, so I won't be missing the other site at all. Apart from being used to Twitter I don't think that there is anyone here who would want to yell at someone for not being too wordy in posts.
Plus the multinational factor, there are people from all over this planet, so no one can expect us all to speak English perfectly. English is in fact my second language, so I know what I am talking about on that topic.
I do appreciate your vote of confidence.
Cheers
Vote of confidence given with much pleasure! And with that I have to say it's impossible to follow everyone here - looks like you have been around longer than me, by the way. I don't think it's possible or even interesting to follow everyone. Just who and what content you deem interesting.
But I have to say, after one week, I agree with you that Steemit is way more interesting than the Facebook or Twitter. And don't bother about English being your second language, it's quite allright - and it's third language for me :) Enjoy!
I'm going to mix and match my styles.
Use what I like from Twitter and when I feel like it do the article type thingamabob.
I'v eonly been here for a week.
Same here, joined last week, I'm also still figuring out things, but glad to be a (a little) help!
The more people following each other the merrier!
You've got the concept down, excited to see whats next. Remember posting and curation are what keeps steem going. Without content curators can't vote and this train stops moving. Steem ON!
OK. Understood.
Mind you I still like the short version of social networking but I do like the idea that I can speak my mind without the word limitations.
Like ur idea. And followed upvoted and resteemed
