Introducing myself to STEEM

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

Hey STEEM community, I've been following along for a while here and really excited about where this platform is going, so I'm going to start to post some more content here.

A little about me....

My background is as a musician, and I toured 6 years on the road with Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey circus playing in the band.

During that time is when I fell in love with motorcycles and started my The Call of the Road website http://thecalloftheroad.com/

I also got into podcasting, and used my days off to zip around on my motorcycle and try coffee in all of the cities that we visited, I shared that with the world in a podcast I called, The Search for the Best Mocha Latte in the World https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/bestmochalatte

On many of those adventures that passion turned into capturing those adventures through photos, and eventually video...

Currently I do a weekly motorcycle stories podcast here:

and am filming/producing/editing a series called Perpetual Motion (here's episode #1)

I'm excited by what is happening here on the platform and look forward to contributing towards the future of STEEM. I'd love to connect with people on here, so feel free to reach out or leave a comment below.
Cheers,
Nathan

    Hello thecalloftheroad! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

    1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
    2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
    3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
    4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
    5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

      You have a great photographer's eye, it's rare that I find someone who can take a bike photo and make it look special. Looking forward to seeing you around, Nathan! Welcome to steemit.
