Ask and ye shall receive!
Recently @suziescorner requested that @papa-pepper make a video sharing some of his thoughts on what newer users on steemit can be doing to increase their potential on this platform. Never being one to turn away a request for assistance, @papa-pepper soon got to work.
Since there are no guarantees on steemit, just a whole lot more potential and opportunity than others are willing to give us, there is no actual rhyme or reason to truly "succeeding" on steemit or anyway to ensure "success." However, as a person who was a complete n00b just 10 months ago, I can certainly share a lot of my ideas and advice on things that newer users could be up to in order to increase their potential.
Since the realm of potentially valid points is nearly inexhaustible, I was in now way going to attempt to make one single comprehensive video post that covered all of the bases and variables. Therefore, I will be releasing this in a video series, and take a more laid-back, thought-sharing approach rather than "teaching a class" on How To Succeed on Steemit."
HERE IS VIDEO 1
As I continue with this series, I sincerely aim to provide some solid advice and worthwhile food for thought. However, from my current position in the steemit community, I may have a very different perspective than some of the newer users. That said, since I do not want to waste your time or mine, please let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns that you would like my thoughts on. I cannot speak for everyone or for steemit inc, but I can share my thoughts with you and hope that they will be helpful.
Thanks everyone! Hopefully this series will be of some assistance and encouragement to you. If you enjoyed what you saw, make sure to thank @suziescorner for her excellent suggestion. Papa Out!

Nice to have a step by step. I know we all want to make a million overnight, but we have to remember this is a marathon not a sprint. Easy to get impatient and overlook the opportunity right in front of you.

Thanks for the video Papa, Iam new to steemit. (about a week) really do not know that much about it. Learned a lot of good info from your video. You managed to put it in simple terms. I made the first mistake by not including a photo on my intro post. I have learned that you seem to get more upvotes and followers if you include a picture in every post. Thanks for the info and happy steeming.

@papa-pepper THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!
It's a very informative video. I think it will help me as well as other new comers who want to do well. I like your advice on leaving comments! I am a person who likes to interact with people.
Like you said it's a good place to meet people. This is a special day for me not only because you made this video after my suggestion but my husband and I are celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary today.
I started not to say 47 years because you guys will think I'm old but my heart is young and I feel great.. I'm rambling now, I guess I'm a little giddy about life. Hey, I was a young bride! Lol

Outstanding video. I think one of the most awesome things about steemit is that there is incentive to be courteous. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. It is a market solution to social media platforms that are cluttered with ads and opinions clashing.

Hi papa-pepper, thanks for inspiring me to complete my profile! I've actually been on since last August, and spent most of that time just learning how to do posts and incorporating my photos (while reading and commenting on other Steemers' great work). I have a done a few posts, and feel a more comfortable now that I've learned a bit. I want to get my posts somewhere equal to my comments! Thanks for your work! (love your wildlife stuff) - MH

Hey Papa, Can you possibly check out my most recent post about a sun flare that just happened. It is an X class 10 earth facing and potentially bad situation. We really need to let people know about this. Even if you don't upvote that's fine, but you reach a larger audience and can resteem to get people aware there may be severe issues on the planet within a day or so. This is so people can contact families now. Please help on this. Thanks so much in advance. I posted on an old video so as not to be seen begging. I am not begging for myself though. Thanks and God Bless.

Great video ! You are sooo calm and cool in this video.
I want one of those chain steem necklaces some day.
I just started on this Steemit a week ago. It's such an exciting place to be.
I am staying focused on posting 1-2 times a day on AcroYoga content and tutorials. I hope you would be interested in checking it out.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I hope to be able to give advice to the newbies in the future!
