The story of your start on the Steemit platform.

Yes, definitely,If I talk about the beginning of my Steemit journey, I would say it started around August. I published my first post on 14th August. A few days before that, I found out about the Steemit platform through a friend who was already working on it. She introduced me to the platform and explained how it works, how to post content, and how the backend of the post is managed.

She guided me step by step on how to create posts, how to add proper text formatting, images, and headings. That was the first time I heard about the Canva platform too ,, she taught me how to design thumbnails using Canva, which helps make posts look more attractive.

Then I was introduced to the basics of coding in Steemit like how we align text, images, and manage post formatting using code. When I started, I began with daily diary posts because, honestly, I didn’t know much about contests or how to properly answer questions or add relevant images.

I started posting in the Steem For Pakistan community, because that community supported many Pakistani users. I received great motivation from there. If I made any mistakes, they guided me gently and helped me improve.

Later on, I began exploring other communities too. I started participating in contests where we had to answer questions or share our personal experiences and thoughts. Slowly, I became more confident and began sharing life experiences, creative content, and meaningful responses.

At that time, I was very motivated. I used to post regularly, sometimes even three posts a day because I was free from college and didn’t have other responsibilities. I made it a habit to post at least once daily, and I also engaged with others by commenting.

You can write your feelings to those who have helped you on the Steemit platform.

Yes, definitely, I would love to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who helped me during my journey on the Steemit platform.

First of all, I want to mention Aalia Rubab, a user from Pakistan, who played a very important role in introducing me to Steemit. Actually, it all started with her, who is a cousin of our neighbor. She used to visit their house often, and her cousin was already active on Steemit. One day, she told my mother about the platform .. that she was working on it, earning from it, and had a good reputation there.

My mother then shared all this with me, and I immediately felt curious and excited. I told my mom that I also wanted to learn about this platform. Later, I went to visit her, and she explained everything to me in detail how the Steemit platform works, how to post content, and how to format posts properly. She guided me step by step with great patience, and I was really impressed by her clarity and support.

Whenever I faced any difficulty, I would message her, and she always responded with kind help. Sometimes she would correct me firmly when I made mistakes, but she always made sure I understood and improved. Because of her guidance, I learned things quickly. I truly believe she was my biggest support in the beginning.

Apart from her, I’m also very thankful to the admin of the Steem For Pakistan community. When I started posting there, I used to make mistakes like many new users do. But the admin guided me kindly, highlighted my errors, and gave me encouragement. This really motivated me to keep going and improve.

From the bottom of my heart, I am truly thankful to both of these amazing people. Because of them, I joined Steemit and found a platform where I can post from home, get good votes, and earn some income. It feels so satisfying that I’m not wasting my time anymore earlier I used to feel like time was slipping away without purpose.

Now I feel more independent. I’m able to earn something on my own, and that makes me really proud. I always pray for both of them ,may Allah bless them with more success, ease, and respect in this world and the hereafter. Their support made a real difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for that.

Your favorite blog on the Steemit platform.

On the Steemit platform, the type of blog I enjoy the most is the Daily Diary blog. I really like reading these because people share their daily activities from morning till night and I find that very interesting.

Even before joining Steemit, I used to watch similar vlogs on YouTube just to see how people spend their day. But reading these experiences in written form through blogging is even more engaging and meaningful to me.

I love going through different users’ diary blogs where they share details about their daily routines, what they ate for breakfast, how they spent their time, and so on. One of my favorite parts is reading about food many users participate in contests and share their delicious recipes. I truly enjoy those food related posts and learning how different dishes are prepared.

Another blog series I liked a lot was the Learning & Recipe Contest, where we were taught how to cook dishes from various countries. Those blogs were very educational and fun to follow.

I also really enjoy creativity based blogs, especially those that involve craft challenges, like making things with paper. I got inspired by those posts and even tried making some paper crafts at home. In fact, I created a few crafts myself and posted them on Steemit as well.

Finally, you write on various topics to improve blog writing on the Steemit platform for other writers, from which everyone can improve.

When I first joined Steemit, I started by writing daily diary posts. Later, I discovered learning contests, which I found very helpful because they allowed me to learn new things and also share my knowledge with others.

I also participated in question answer posts, especially those that were based on knowledge. I used to share information about different countries, their cultures, food, prices, and even about my own country, Pakistan. I’ve written several blogs to help people understand more about my homeland.

As a computer science student, I have a strong interest in IT and technology. I’ve shared what I’ve learned about programming languages and web development so that others who are interested in the same field can benefit too. Through learning contests, I’ve actively shared my skills and experiences.

I enjoy cooking, so I’ve also posted many recipes of delicious Pakistani dishes. I try to write on a variety of topics including food, technology, daily life, and my country's situation so that my content can be useful and enjoyable for different kinds of readers on Steemit.
