A Boy has no name - Just kidding, Welcome to Randika's Intro

randika (25) in introduceyourself • 7 years ago (edited)

Hi all, I'm freaking new to Steemit. I didn't even know until recently about Steemit. I'm still exporing Steemit. So let's SteamUp the ideas.

I'm Randika Chandrapala, around 28 years old, living in Sri Lanka, Negombo a person with big ambitions to #makeWorldABetterPlaceToLive. I like to engineer products which is not limited to Software, but also hardware and mechanical products and also services which are useful to people and provide solutions to their day to day issues. So currently I'm working as a S. Software Engineer for Mobile development (iOS and Android). But I'm not limited to that, I develop for Web also using PHP and frameworks. I've decided to startup my own company and now busy with that while I'm currently working for a Netherland based company called Conxillium.

Google started 19 years 27th September,
and I started my company 28th September, yesterday.

I'm really happy that I placed the first stepping stone for building my own startup which I've been dreaming from my childhood.

Because my goal is to help people who are in need, to over come their poverty and health issues, just like Bill Gates does.

So it will be just a dream if I don't start from somewhere else. With thousands of thousands hardships we face living in a South-asian third world country, I hope I would be able to reach my goals through dedication, commitments and scarifications!

So while I'm living in SteemIt, I have few objectives, which are:

Find and read good quality content and also contribute the same in return to the community
Share my experience (in the sense of Software Engineering and Tech Entrepreneurship) and knowledge
Learn how the SteemIt work and experience about it (it'll be the future of publishers as I think)

I'm a slow learner, but I learn! I have enough courage to endure any challenge that comes in my way.

In time to time you would hear from me motivational quotes. For now until we Steem Out, check my other social network profiles:

I hope you would enjoy my stay at SteemIt. I would like to know your feedback regarding my posts from now and in the future.

Following is my one of the favorite Quotes of all time:

Keep it up! You have a fresh account so welcome aboard. There is an upvote for you and I hope to read more from you in the future!
I know how hard it is as a fresh account so you could give @MinnowPowerUp a go. This service lets you earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I also recently made this post explaining my experience with it in more depth while earning over $1 per day in upvotes.

Hello and welcome to Steemit! You have a very well written and formatted introduction post. Thanks for sharing about yourself, your passions, and your objectives here. The graphic of the ideas quote at the end is marvelous too. Where have all the great minds gone? Very few people discuss important ideas like individual liberty anymore.

There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:

https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)

https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)

https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)

Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.

Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too. The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story." Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer. Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text. Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.

Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more. The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using another public social media account. For example, I posted my Steemit articles from here through my Twitter account. Another person posted their Steemit information on their Facebook account. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify. If a new account falls within those two categories and fails to verify, it may get blacklisted.

Again, welcome, and I've followed you! If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.
