#Introduceyourself – Natalie du Toit, an avid sportsperson and believer in “Levelling the playing field”, somehow, somewhere, sometime by merging business and sport.

Welcome to Steemit. And thanks for giving us an overview of your inspiring story so far.

With your drive and ambition, you are certain to do well on this wonderful platform.

Below are a few points of advice re posting on Steemit.

  1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
  2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
  3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Hallo @majes.tytyty apologies for not responding to you sooner. I had mistaken you for a bot. Steep learning curve for the beginner. Your advice is fantastic, thank you! It is awesome to be shown some of the ropes as it is not always easy to navigate. It is a challenge blogging often, but I will really give it a go as it is something I have wanted to do for a while.
Thank you for making me feel welcome and like part of the family/community. Best Wishes.

No problem with the delay. But that's the first time I've ever been mistaken for a bot. :-)

I know it's a steep learning curve, especially for a tech-phobe like me. So, glad to help and give advice.

Here are a few more helpful hints.

  1. Be yourself.
  2. Be interesting and informative.
  3. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)

As for growing your presence on Steemit, here's one point:
The best way to attract followers is to glance through the various feeds (People you follow (Under the Steemit Beta icon), Trending, New, Hot, Promoted), and find posts that interest you. There are many trivial posts that really have little content of any value, but among that stream, you will find plenty of good and even great posts.

When you find such posts, UPVOTE those you like, COMMENT on them, and then maybe REPLY to any replies that you get. Soon, you will see the number of your followers increase.

Cheers, and let's CHAT sometime soon.

Thank you @majes.tytyty. Valuable input ;-)

@majes.tytyty Wish someone shared this with me :) thank you anyways! Best wishes - @splendorhub.

You are welcome.

As a (former) teacher, I always like to help people learn and guide them on the path. And as a (new) Steemian, I'm doing whatever I can to build a great community on this platform.

Here are a few more points that might help you:

  1. Be yourself.
  2. Be interesting and informative.
  3. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)

Hope you can make plenty of posts with true staying power.

@majes.tytyty your advice is greatly appreciated. I had always wanted to start a blog and this platform is just perfect for me. My interest is so broad that if you stay tuned you might enjoy it.Best wishes. Thank you again.

I had tried blogging before, but never found a decent platform or a supportive community. Now, here it is!

Cheers, and let's not bother dear Nats with our chatter anymore. Let's be in touch on our own comment thread.
