To all you new Steemians, I just have a few words of advice:
- Don't beg for follows, votes etc. Earn them with good posts and comments. You are unlikely to get votes from anyone who has real voting power anyway.
- Don't follow too many people. You will not be able to keep up with your feed. I know some people do this in hope that they will follow back, but even if they do they probably won't bother to read your posts. Find people who are interesting to you and follow them.
- Do not spam the comments. Cut and paste comments are likely to get flagged. You really don't want that to happen.
- Do not plagiarise. Why should you get paid for copying someone else's work? You are very likely to get caught out and you will get flagged.
- Do not mis-use tags. It will be tempting to keep using the most popular tags, but this can also get you flagged I see lots of posts under 'introduceyourself' that are not introductions. I've warned a few people about this. I will only flag those who ignore warnings.
- Do post good comments. Stay on topic and add to the conversation. This is one of the best ways to earn something early on.
- Do vote. Your vote may not be worth much, but people appreciate it anyway. Don't worry about using up your voting power to start with. It doesn't matter too much if you don't have much Steem Power.
- Do read the FAQ and Quick Start Guide. These are in the menu in the top right of the page. There are lots people posting helpful tips. Seek them out.
- Don't worry about the money. It will come in time. Just do what is fun and it won't feel like work anyway.
Steem on!
I'm Steve, the geeky guitarist.

Good solid advice there for the newbs :)
hows the running going?
I get out when I can. Not sure if I will have a chance this weekend though.
The best announcement, so that we new members can understand the use of rights.
Thanks @steevc
But @steevc,I was bored to post out my quality post,nobody come to see my post as my low reputation. any solution for minnows?
You can build a reputation with good comments. If you add to the conversation then you should get voted up. This can help to gain followers who will support your posts. I see you have had good rewards already, so you must be doing something right
But the reward was not consistent. Feel sad sometime
I don't think you can feel too sad with over $200 on a post! I've never had that much
Thank you - these are reassuring tips for a newbie.
just wondering what do you consider "It doesn't matter too much if you don't have much Steem Power. " how much do you need to have before it starts to matter ?
When you get to a few hundred you will get the control for what percentage of a vote you give. At that stage your vote may be worth a cent or two and you can choose to give less. Then you can vote more often with a small vote and still have some effect
Actually after HF 19 it is worth more then just one cent at that point ;) More like 10+
Even better. People can give a cent with a 10% vote and vote 10x as much
i believe the slide opens up after 500 sp, mean while i try hard to stay above 70% voting power,but it's easier said then done
Around 12,000 sp would be nice lol
way past that number already :)
@stresskiller those cents add up .. I agree..I gave you mine haha..
agreed with rools
These are guidance rather than rules. Steemit has very few rules, but I have learned what the community likes
Yes 100 percent right it will come to yoy just wait
That's what I'm talking about. Less is more. Just like what I posted before, check it out ;)
