Taking A Step Into Brighter Days.

IMG-20180808-WA0001.jpg

Growing up I heard tales of fraud on the internet, how people were being duped with the prospect of making clean money without much work, I’ve seen many of my friends duped to the bone and making a vow never to venture into any business of sort. The sting of failed adventuress still raw on their hearts, so when @valchiz and @adebayopaul introduced us to Steemit naturally we were wary, some didn’t even want to hear.

Steemit was introduced to us as a platform where we post write-ups and earn money. But essentially they made us understand that it was about developing one’s self mentally and making friends. Leaving the comfort zone that we’ve built for ourselves to display did I say display, our talents to the whole of the Steemit community.
They also talked about having a niche, most of my friends have already started posting, some of them into poetry, science especially for the steemstem and stemng sub-community, steemhunting, music and videos and so on.

It seems I forgot to introduce myself, my names are Olaniyi Oluwadamilola, from Nigeria in Africa, West Africa to be precise. I am 6ft tall and chocolate in complexion with favorite colors being blue and black and best food Rice and Plantain.

They-also said a lot about the rules here on Steemit, about how plagiarism is highly prohibited and rightfully punished. Original works are what is really welcomed and encouraged. We were told plagiarism was checked by a robot named cheetah that leaves comment on the blog of the user that plagiarises.
We were also introduced to an application called discord where we can chat with fellow Steemit users and our friends and join many sub-communities to get better on Steemit. I tried opening one but it seems my phone doesn’t support the application. I hope to get a new one soon and start chatting with fellow steemians. Not that chatting with steemians through commenting doesn’t work for me but the discord app seems more closer and faster.

I haven’t really discovered my niche as anything goes for me from science to poetries and so on. But seeing as I am a medical student most of my post will be health related, issues developing from health risks and ways to maintain them, anything important I’m being taught at school.
My main aim here is to make as much friends as possible on Steemit and communicate freely with them because I believe friendship is what really keeps us going when we are down and let’s not forget the memories.

With all that has been said, I hope I am welcomed into the Steemit community with open arms and I hope my stay here well it is for a while goes well and when I look back I would have no coase for regret.
Thank you all once again and I hope we become and remain friends, I really do.

From the look of things , you actually came to the platform fully prepared, equipped with knowledge and understanding of the platform which is quite impressive. Well you’ve said it all but as a friend who had taken it upon myself to say some few words of advice .

I know everything I’m about to write right after now are those things you already knew but some came into the platform with such knowledge of how the platform works but they loose focus when the race for upvotes starts and it gets weary when things aren’t turning out the way it is supposed to be so it then brings about loose of interest in the platform

No one could be smarter than the system, there’s a natural process which must take place on the platform and that’s exactly what I’m gonna tell you in a summarized form so don’t just read this but practice it my new friend.

Welcome to this amazing platform, this platform as far as it is concerned can change your life through rewarding great content but it isn’t the platform the rewards you, people on the platform do through the platform so this has brought me down to tell you the importance of connection and communication on this platform

Communication is a key factor when it comes to all types of relationship , be it interpersonal or inter communal relationship. Without communication then I wonder how two or more people could make plans either for self development or general development. Communication has presented itself as the only way to relate with others.

The key to success on this platform is communication through commenting , this is what you basically need as a starter, make friends , join communities as you’d get to find out different types of communities on this platform as you explore posts. Trying to add value to you by impacting this knowledge unto you. Take this from me and you shall be successful on this platform, welcome again

Thanks alot, points noted...

Hello oludammydy! 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!
