🆘 Your Frequently Asked Questions ANSWERED + TIPS ! Including My Top 10 Royalty Free Image Sites !🔝

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

🆘 This is a special post for new steemians but can be helpful for anyone with my list of top 10 Royalty Free Image Sites !! After being on steemit now for 1 year and 6 months after joining on July / 13 / 2016 , I get asked many questions when im on by new members , and usually they are the same questions , so I will attempt to answer the most common questions about the platform and I will also try to give you some tips on how to succeed more happily on Steemit and avoid flags !

🆘 All Cartoons Created by me/of me, on bitmoji.com !🆘

TIPS + INFORMATION !!

🔵 (1) BEGGING/ SPAMMING !
And I can not emphasize this enough !! Do not Beg , Drop Links etc on peoples comments section of their posts , OR in their Wallet , OR In Steemit Chat ! Especially when you leave links without even a comment to the persons actual post and your link has nothing even to do with their post ! Asking Upvotes for Upvotes OR Follow For Follow or saying "Im new to Steemit come see my post!" Is A Sure Fire Way to have the opposite effect , and get you FLAGGED By most people here on steemit !! Nobody likes Spammers ! So please respect your fellow steemians and stay on their good side , they will be more likely to Follow and Upvote you plus Resteem your posts once they get to know you !
(Plagiarism / Copy pasting / Spamming can earn you a visit from steemcleaners or cheetah

🔵 (2) Steemit / Steem Logo Use !
Ok , I wrote this in my last post , but it bears repeating here again !
https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@karenmckersie/color-challenge-friday-blue-tribute-to-steem-images-my-fav-blue-bitmojis-i-created
"The new Green "STEEMIT" Logo is subject to copyright infringement and can not be used ! BUT the Blue "STEEM" Logo is licensed under Creative Commons (CCO ) So its free to Copy / Modify / or distribute , even commercially , without asking permission !"

🔵 (3)"Heres Your Top 10 Royalty Free Image Sites !
These are licensed under Creative Commons (CCO) And are free to use , Distribute / Copy / or Modify or use commercially without asking permission !"

(1) unsplash / Tons of high res. images , free to download /
(2) stocksnap.io /Thousands of free stock photos , no atrbution required !
(3) pixabay / Great go to site , exclusively for stuff with pixels
(4) splashbase / for royalty free high res. videos and images !

🔵 (4) Steem Will Rise ! HODL !
Steem is currently undervalued big time my friends ! try to "HODL!" Onto what you have in STEEM if you can ! as Steem is expected to rise significantly after Hard Fork 20 and the SMTs ( smart media tokens) are released around the end of January !? Unless you currently need the funds to survive like I do then by all means do whats best for YOU! And dont follow the hype or negativity you hear in the news ! As we all know : Buy Low / Sell High !!

🔵 (5) For much more very helpful information :
Go into the "Hamburger Menu" Those three lines , Located beside you little picture in the top right of your screen ! a whole list of stuff will come up for you to check out about steemit ! Especially the FAQ section !(Frequently asked questions ) you will also find the Steemit App. Center and Steemit Chat in there , as well as Where to go to vote for your Steemit Witnesses ! (pick 30)

Thanks for such tips. Seriously alot of newbies like me need such advice. Am happy seeing and taking this your advice.i have started following you

Thats awesome ! Thanks @gimba ! Im glad to help , and will follow you back ! best of luck steeming On !🚀🚀🚀🚀💙

I actually didn’t know that about the Steemit logo and thought the new one was free to use just like the old one. Very helpful.

I couldn’t agree more about your comments regarding spamming and begging for upvotes. Surely it must also be quite humiliating for the person doing the begging.

It kind of reminds me of some advice I received years ago. Walk into the room as if you already belong there. That way people will treat you with respect immediately. The same goes for Steemit. Treat Steemit like you know you belong and as if everyone here is your family.

You wouldn’t beg your family to follow you would you? You’d just expect that they will in their own good time.

And you’ll only gain followers if your content is good. Produce shit content and no one will show any interest.

So true my friend Thanks for all your awesome support and Great reply @mazzle ! my sentiments exactly , as it gets quite tiresome somedays !! you just watch someone come along and not read my post at all (as usual ) and spam me lol!! its guaranteed to happen lol!! Best of luck to you !🚀🚀🚀😀👍👍👍

I think it's better to list them with spacing. Something like this:

  • (1) unsplash / Tons of high res. images , free to download /
  • (2) stocksnap.io /Thousands of free stock photos , no atrbution required !
  • (3) pixabay / Great go to site , exclusively for stuff with pixels
  • (4) splashbase / for royalty free high res. videos and images !
  • (5) Giphy.com! I use this a lot !
  • (6) lifeofpix.com / free high res photography
  • (7) pexels / Best free stock photos , all in one site !
  • (8) picography unlimited free downloads of vectors , photos and graphics !
  • (9) negativespace / high res photos , no restrictions !
  • (10) freepik / thousands of images for designing or adobe illustrator use !

Great idea @ace108 ! I was trying to hurry and finish it as I was heading ou tand it all ready took me a while to
do the post , im going to sleep now , but I might edit it later when I wake up ! im glad you stopped by , Good Night !✌👍😀

You're welcome. It's morning now. :-) Good night to you

Great value in this post. Thanks for putting this together. I've picked up on these fast myself, but I realize a lot for people go about building their account the wrong way. Begging and not providing value to the community doesn't help anyone. I constantly remind people just to provide great quality to Steem and being genuine is way better.

Congrats on the reputations and success. Thanks for the royalty free links.

HODL on. we're going past the Moon. haha.

Thanks for the support ! im glad you liked my tips , and for sure All The Way to the Moon !! Woot!!💕✌👍😀 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

I wish you a wonderful Sunday

Thanks so much for your kind reply and support @jlufer ! im happy to help when i can !😀👍

Thats great , thanks ! im glad you liked it !😀

Great advice, I always love seeing some more established users give back and share there knowledge and insight with others.

Thanks @phelimint ! Im glad to help as theres more new people joining more frequently now , it was time to do a post on this as im being asked and spammed a lot lately ! Lol! Best of luck to you my friend !🚀🚀🚀👍👍👍

I use Pexels most of the time. I like their images, so I just go there everytime, but if they don't have something specific that I'm looking for, I look at some other sites. I will bookmark this page. Gosh, I have so many Steemit posts bookmarked, it's crszy lol

Haha , thats awesome @binkyprod Thanks ! Glad to help ! I like useing giphy.com a lot , I make my own giphys on there and they are all free to use ! 🚀🚀🚀👍

Cool. I've never made a GIF before. I'll have to give it a try.

Its fun , but a little tricky to figure out for me lol! I created my #popcontest giphy on there !I guess practice helps ! hahaha!

Hehe it's pretty neat. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

It's funny because I always tell myself that I should be able to figure out such software or programs because I use Final Cut Pro and Photoshop. And then I stare at the program and I'm like "uh dude, what am I supposed to do?" like a newb lol It doesn't matter whether you know complex or simple software, learning new software and apps is always a challenge ;)

but it looks like you got it down quite well.

Haha ! im so like that , I really am new at all this stuff , but sooner or later I figured it out by trial and error ! lol! you shouldnt have a problem ! 😀

Trial and error is an underrated way to learn. In fact, it's one of the best ways to learn ;) I do it all the time.

Great tips and you are absolutely right. Come with the good intentions and success will follow. Thanks for the free stock pic website share. very helpful.

Awesome Thanks !! so glad to help my fellow steemians @amy-goodrich ! and your very welcome !😀👍👍👍✌💕
