I am going to bookmark this post and use it when I am chatting with brand new members. There is nothing here that I can take issue with or feel I can improve on. A post like this should be suggested reading for new members to help give them a fighting chance when they first sign up.
Thank you! Love gaining followers!! Have both you and your son on my Steemdunk.
Glad I am keeping at it also. Have a few posts in the works that will go this week and hopefully will do well.
Taking a different approach with my upvote for right now to help improve the curation rewards of those that follow me. Not upvoting myself until 45-60 minutes after I post. Figure this gives people a chance to get ahead of my vote and gain more rewards. Plus if I do any paid promotion it will also be after at least that much time to further increase peoples rewards.
Haven't checked @abh12345 yet, will do for sure. Just got my first delegation and am over 500SP. Have another offer out there that would push me over 800. Hopefully it gets filled.
Yes I did. Did a 6 week one for 250 SP that I probably overpaid a little for, but knew that people have been having a hard time getting delegations. Also have a 12 week offer out there which I was a little cheaper on. Hope that one fills, but if not at least this way I hit my 500 for the next 6 weeks.
I was looking at your check list for success and there are two that I would suggest for any new person is the most important. "Comment for engagement" and "Reply for engagement". I have found that while I am in my early stages, that commenting and engaging other users is far more lucrative than just posting content. Also, make it a habit to respond to any person that comments on your work or comment. It build relationships and will foster a more loyal following. You took the time to do that with me and it taught me a valuable lesson on the forum.
That's wonderful to hear. Commenting is an art form and it can pay well here. Many people here upvote comments and seek the engagement.
I posted at least 75% comments in my first months here. It got to the point where people started asking why I did not post much. once that happened - I started posting more and now my posts pay better. But I still do a lot of commenting and absolutely work to make my replies back.
There in nothing worse than seeing a blog with everyone trying to talk to the author and getting no replies.
I'm so glad you are doing well here and I really appreciate your input :)
Thanks for mentioning my writing contest round-up.
I post daily and we're up to Issue #10 February 4th
Anyone interested in writing contests really should check it out - it can save you loads of time in scrolling through the #contest tag. Time that can more productively be used for writing.
Yeah I kinda figured the post took some time to put together.
I figure if you put everyone together who's using the contest list I'm saving Steemian writers hours upon hours of time that can be put to better use...writing.
My son is @bxlphabet here. I'm about to go over his steemdunk with him and I will make sure you are there. I'm living the days of being new here by helping him. It's so hard! Everything he asks me takes great effort to answer.
Mostly he's just trying to keep to a posting schedule right now. Then we will branch out to more tasks. He likes posting here, so I am really happy about that.
I'm so glad you like the post. I have been giving everything out separately and I decided I really needed to gather it together. I am glad it's off my plate. I spent way too much time on it :)
I must acknowledge that this post is really have detailed guidance to get a success on steemit. Reading it has greatly increased my understanding and knowledge about this amazing platform. I am witness and receiver of your support you have given me many times. I have no shame in acknowledging it because you are doing a wonderful job by supporting minnows.
I really appreciate your efforts to make life of minnows easy on this platform. Thank You.
Looks very nice. I am consistent with most points you mention above, except for developing a network. That still seems a bit difficult for me when it comes to steemit. While it is usually not that difficult for me outside of steemit.
It is a slow process in the beginning. Don't give up and keep trying know things and continuing what works. The networking is not as easy here as on other platforms.
From my two weeks experience. You can build your network by joining some groups on whatsapp or telegram.
With my two weeks i have met great people and also built a few network although small but they helped me to win this contest that gave me 150 doge coin
The speed of my laptop is very slow and am very careful the sites i visit as a person learning web design. I got ideas on that and my antivirus assist me also.
Thanks once again
I know, I know. As an editor, I know from plenty of experience that there are always a few errors that get thru, particularly in longer pieces.
I think you can still go in and change it. Just click "Edit," which is right beside "Reply" at the bottom of your post.
That "Edit" function is available for 7 days after posting, but at the end of the 7th day, the post will be permanently recorded as is on the blockchain.
Yes, that is the best way to go. Try something for a week or two and move on if you don't care for it. There are many ways to go for almost anything here.
Wow wow wow.
I just got all i need to excel on steemit for free and am sure with the coming weeks i will be great and so great on steemit.
Am just two weeks old and thank God i found this post.
I have been inconsistent in my post and contest but was blessed to win a first contest that gave me 150 doge coin.
I will ma.
Please ma i want to ask a question.
Is it better to withdraw my steem dollars or to convert the steem dollars to steem power.
What's your advise to me as a new person that is just barely two weeks old on the platform
I would wait until you have enough to lease delegated sp and do that. Make your profile and feed look like someone would want to help you by posting consistently and improving over time.

Thank you so much! I'm really glad to help. I have more coming - I have about 10 more topics on my list that I haven't written yet.
I struggled so hard here in my first months. Nothing here is intuitive.
I just added you to my steemdunk. So glad you are keeping at it.

I did that for awhile but it got to be too much to think about.
Did you check out @abh12345? He's got good info about curation. I learned a lot there, but now I am on to other things.
Haven't checked @abh12345 yet, will do for sure. Just got my first delegation and am over 500SP. Have another offer out there that would push me over 800. Hopefully it gets filled.
Good for you! I hear of lots of people not getting them. Are you going through minnowbooster?
Yes I did. Did a 6 week one for 250 SP that I probably overpaid a little for, but knew that people have been having a hard time getting delegations.

I really appreciate this help. I need to freshen up my contest activity and I agree searching the tag is not a good use of time.
I will update my link for you. Now you know how long I worked on the post :)
Yeah I kinda figured the post took some time to put together.

Definitely. This is so helpful and I'm glad you do it. I have a very tight schedule and browsing randomly is not in it!
heavy duty!!! excellent info all in one post. thanks @fitinfun. another very, very informative post for me to spend time going over and over again.
what is your son's steemit id? I'll add him to my steemdunk.
Thank you!

Congrats! I am in Thailand and don't use a phone for work - just a laptop - but I'm glad you found good places to network.

Excellent post ... so far. I'm still going thru it.
One point ... you have my ID with a "g" instead of a "j". ... (@mages.tytyty - help with English and writing) That leads to a VOID site.
Please edit that to "maJes.tytyty", that is, "J" as in James. ☺
Cheers and thanks.
So sorry about that! I know better. It took me weeks to do this monster! By the time I got to proofing - I hated it too much to look.
Now I'm working on several other tutorials that are not mentioned here at all. I spend a good amount of time nagging myself :)
I know, I know. As an editor, I know from plenty of experience that there are always a few errors that get thru, particularly in longer pieces.

Great post. Time to bookmark this and read up on it when i have more time. I will try most of the things since im new on the site. :)
Yes, that is the best way to go. Try something for a week or two and move on if you don't care for it. There are many ways to go for almost anything here.

It seems like I just got this same photo from someone else - beware of scams.
Ma you saw it in a comment above where i was trying to explain the person how my small network assisted me to win a contest
Oh I see. Well be careful :)
I will ma.
Please ma i want to ask a question.
Is it better to withdraw my steem dollars or to convert the steem dollars to steem power.

I'm so glad to know you like it. Just do a little bit of learning each day. This place can be very overwhelming.
One tip is not to vote on old posts beyond 6.5 days. I don't know why the system lets you do it, but it does not count.
Good luck and have fun here :)
