!
Would you please read my story and find out how I discovered Steemit? Do you think that you may want to learn how to use Steemit yourself?
I discovered Steemit via @jerrybanfield.
While taking a Udemy course from Grumo, Miguel mentioned Jerry Banfield. Miguel said, "you should check out this guy." I did. I don't know how Miguel and Jerry knew each other. but I suspect through a connection on Udemy, since both of them were instructors there.
So, I checked out Jerry Banfield.com and found Jerry to be a bold and amusing personality that I liked. While following Jerry around YouTube, I discovered Steemit. Since I love blogging and posting, I became interested in getting paid for my efforts. I signed up with Steemit in June of 2017. I made 2 or 3 hundred posts while spending my time learning the platform. But posting my content on Flipboard, Steemit and Vocal.media, I could see the potential. Steemit's cryptocurrency is Steem.
I worked on Steemit for about 6 weeks posting, commenting and meeting new people. I'm a Louisiana educator. Since school started back for me in late July, I needed to focus on my new job. I placed Steemit and my other blogging adventures on hold.!

After a few weeks went by, I started back posting on Steemit, but not making very much money, I became discouraged. I knew that I was doing something wrong.
So, I started researching and realized that I hadn't made a post about myself.
Umm, I said to myself, back up and do it right. Here I am on this Saturday morning, April 7, 2018 writing about myself. and how I see the future of Steemit in the digital world.
I have a good feeling about the future of steemit. The more I read and study about the blockchain technology, I can see the power of Steemit.
There's no human or organization that could cause the Steemit platform to fail. Yet, the scam bots could wreck havoc for us all. But if you're cautious with the links that you click on, then your account should be safe.
Here's another thing that I want to mention...digital currency. The Internet, helps people shop and make purchases all over the world. It makes good sense to use digital coins to pay for purchases online without having to think about "your" currency exchange.
This is a growing sharing community. To be successful here, you must like writing. It's not a get rich quick overnight thing. You will need patience, organization and persistence to succeed. But, after you figure out how to manage your time on Steemit, soon you will become addicted to it.
This social media has over 2 million followers worldwide and is growing daily.
The more people who join Steemit and provide good content, the more prosperous we will all become. Three days ago on Steemit, there were 179,611 new posts uploaded. How wonderful is that?
I'm an organic gardener. You'll see me posting a lot of content under the tab homesteading @carolynseymour while following @papapepper.
He lives in Arkansas with his wife and 5 kids living completely off the land.
I find his lifestyle very impressive in the 21st century.
If you decide to become a part of the Steemit community, I would tell you to be patient getting started. It can take up to a week sometimes to open an account where you will be given 4 keys. The keys cannot be recovered if you lose them, so please be mindful of this.
Welcome to Steemit Carolyn Seymour, I too am new to Steemit and I can see the power of the platform if you stay consistent and engaged in the community.

Greetings, sweet Carolyn
Glad you got into the steemit. Really, I made the same mistake as yours. I started making posts without putting the post talking about me.
By placing him, people could meet me and mainly check my tastes for reading and writing.
Welcome very much.
Good evening!!!

Julisaio, thank you for your kind words. Im now trying to decide which niche I want to write most of my posts in. I've been given advice to write about what I'm passionate about. Since I'm passionate about several things, I need to narrow it down to 2 or 3. Since I like growning food and saving money, I will probably

Simply amazing post! Very well written/presented! Jerry is a riot! I love organic gardening? Have you ever heard of notill gardening and or korean natural farming? Well we incorporate these methods in our garden at home in Las Vegas! Please keep in touch!

I haven't heard about Korean natural farming, but I suppose it must be similar to organic gardening. We Americans are going to have to do something about out food source. GMO's are causing people to develop tumors in their bodies and we really don't know which foods have GMO's and which don't have it. But growing your own food and preserving i, then you're safer. Yes, I know about the no till gardening and container gardening also. Thanks for the comment and I will follow you and join your discord channel.

Hello @carolynseymour, it was nice to meet you via your intro. I am brand new to Steemit and appreciate the tips in your article. I am very excited about joining this community and developing my writing and blogging skills. There seems to be a lot to learn, but I always say that learning new stuff is good for your brain.
Take care.

Hello shortsegments, thank you for joining Steemit. I believe that you will grow very fast. It's most important to be active every day and manage your time wisely. I work a 40 hour week job, and sometime it's difficult to write my posts daily. There is a post scheduler called Streemian, that is very useful. However, I've not been able to open an account on there and unable to contact the creator of Streemian. But i keep trying, hoping that someone will help me solve my problem.

Hi CarolynSeymour, Thank you for the kind words and the tip about Streemian. I will look it up and if I find out anything about reasons for delays in processing account applications I will pass it on to you.
Take care,
SS 😊

I decided to add a few things to my Introduction post after reading yours. Do you know if there is a time limit on editing articles and what effect it has on rewards if any?

jpgalih, it is not good practice to ask someone to follow you. This can hurt you by asking someone to vote and follow you. Please keep that in mind.

Sorry
I do not use Streemian, I only use Steemit.com. I also make sure there is always https://

It helps a lot. Do you know of a post scheduler other than Streemian?

You could try putting a reminder in your phone to remind you when it's time to post?

maxstacks...that the phone reminder isn't good enough. A post scheduler allows you to prewrite your post and choose the best time to schedule it for your audience. I noticed I get the most engagement on a Sunday evening or night. I don't know why that is. I use a post scheduler called "Buffer" to my other social platforms. But Buffer won't work with steemit.
