RE: Steemit Newbie Coming in Hot | 1st Post (AHH!)

Hello, @theaudgirl, and welcome to Steemit.

That's a great introduction and an excellent post.

Apparently you have plenty to bring to this platform and to your fellow Steemians. And given the quality of this post, we can assume that you will continue to create high-quality posts full of useful and significant content. Do that, and you'll be well on your way to success in this community.

Also, it's a good idea to get out there and "curate" every day. Scroll through your Steemit feed, scroll through those feeds that you are passionate about, and find posts that are interesting,

Read, comment, and upvote. Rinse and repeat. Do that, and you'll be well on your way to MAJOR success in this community.

Best of luck, and Full Steem Ahead.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a thoughtful comment and for the advice! I will definitely do what you're saying to and make sure to curate every day in some way, even if that is commenting and upvoting great content!

Thank you again - I appreciate your kind words.

Cool. That's all you really have to do. Create great (or at least "high-quality") content, and find, read, comment on, and upvote that great (or at least "high-quality") content produced by others.

Voila, success on Steemit.

2 follow-up bits of advice ...

Longer posts are better and more lucrative, particularly those that have a balance of fine test and good photos / images.

At the same, however, that can be difficult at first. So, shorter posts are OK, but for those, it's best to do either of the following:

1 - Enter regular photo contests, such as this one ... @photocontests (run by @juliank)
and the photo challenges run by @theexplorer

2 - Make a series of posts. If you check out my blog, @majes.tytyty, you'll see that I do a Lou Reed Lyrics series. I started with a full anthology, but now I'm posting the individual entries with brief commentary.

Such short posts are not very time consuming for either me or the readers, but somewhat informative, possibly interesting, and minimally lucrative.

Onwards!!
