I've been a member for quite some time now, January to be exact, but it is only now that i'm writing my first post. I was introduced to Steemit by @Jap60, my mom(hi ma). If you have time, please do drop by her account. So "Why only post now?", some of you may be asking. Well right after joining I did draft an introduction. But then I read intros by other members and then decided that my work could use some changes. This became somewhat of a trend. I would edit my introduction, read a post I like, and then reedit mine again. After a while I decided to put a hold on making my intro, but then I never got back to it, up until now that is , thanks to my mom's constant reminding (hi again ma).
So enough of that and more about me. I'm the eldest between 2 children. I have a younger sister.
I'm a Filipino, a Christian, an insurance advisor by profession, a music lover, and a nerd to some degree, well it depends on who you ask I guess. I love watching movies, reading books and mangas, and I'm also a casual gamer. Basketball, volleyball and boxing are some of the sports I like watching. I like taking photos of sceneries and i'm looking forward to a future post on those. I recently decided to take losing weight a lot more seriously, so good luck to me on that.
What do I look forward to as a member of this community? I look forward to interacting with you guys. Sharing ideas and opinions. Learning new things. Basically just meeting new lovely and interesting individuals.
When I joined Steemit a big question immediately hit me. What could I possibly write that would be of any interest to everybody? This troubled me for a while. Then it dawned on me. It shouldn't be about making something for everyone to like. It's about meeting people who share the same interests you have. It's about expressing yourself and meeting people who see a little of themselves in you.
Ok now that's done(finally). So until my next post, keep safe guys. :)
Hello, Popoy, and Welcome to Steemit.
The trick is to write about what you know, and to write well. ☺ From your intro, it seems clear that you are able to accomplish both of those. So, you will most likely succeed on Steemit, with a bit of diligence and effort.
Below are a few basic 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.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – 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.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.
Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

You’re welcome. One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.
@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge (Temporarily inactive)
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer
For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
