A Letter To Newcomer
Greetings to you, newcomer. I am happy to guide you and your friends so that you will no longer be confused about what to do after introducing yourselves.
I don't know if your mentor has explained the Newcomers' Certification to you properly, but as a volunteer, I will tell you the best course of action for your first 70 days on Steemit.
𝙎𝙤, 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙥𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮.
1. Join several communities based on your interests
Your adventure has begun, so go out and find places where you can read posts that interest you, and most importantly, you must feel confident enough to post in those communities as well.
Some great community options:
You should be consistent in making posts (at least 3 posts a week) and build interactions with other users through comments.
Warning!
𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝘼𝙄-𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩.
2. Create Your First Progress Report
After one month has passed, you are required to summarize all the positive things you have experienced, such as:
- What you like about the communities you have joined
- The things you have chosen to write about
- Your best posts and the reasons why
- The amazing people who have interacted with you
- What you have learned and your plans and goals for the next month
Okay, I'll give you an example of my report [First Progress Report As Newcomer], and I'm sure you can make a better one. After your report is checked, you will be given a silver medal.
3. Deepen your knowledge of the platform network
As time goes by, it is very important for you to learn more about the elements related to Steemit. While maintaining your routine of posting for another month, also focus your attention on learning what Witness means, how to do Power Up and Withdrawal, as well as the benefits of the SteemWorld tool and the functions of the Discord application.
4. Create the Second Progress Report
It is time for you to present your journey in the second month again. Present the following items:
- Your growth in posting techniques, additional communities you have joined, and the expansion of your interactions with other users
- Witnesses, related to how to vote, who you have voted for, and why you voted for them
- How to perform Power Up and the withdrawal process
- Your experience using SteemWorld and Discord, and what benefits they offer
Of course, I didn't forget to show my report as an example [Second Progress Report As Newcomer]. Hopefully you will get a gold medal, because I haven't yet.
5. Start Participating in Contests and Challenges
You’ve successfully completed the orientation period, so at this point you’ve moved beyond the newcomer stage and become a true user ready to showcase your creations in a more enjoyable phase.
To continue honing your technical writing skills, it’s a good idea to participate in various competitions across different genres. Don’t limit yourself and turn each experience into a learning opportunity.
Make sure to participate in the contests you can choose from in Contest Alerts from @disconnect and show your best effort by participating in weekly challenges in Steemit Challenge managed by @steemitblog.
I really want to see improvement in every newcomer, and I hope that anyone who newly registers on Steemit can go through the certification process as smoothly as possible.

@the-gorilla may soon give you a gold medal.
I don't want to burden him with things that aren't very important to him. I'm sure he's busy with his more useful toys.
Oh yes, thank you so much for your support, my brother!
