Hello from Bengaluru, India – New Steemian on board!

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello fellow Steemians! (I’m guessing that’s what you refer other people on Steemit as)

My name is Sudeep. I come from a small little town in South India called Mangalore. However, I am currently residing in a metropolitan town called Bangalore (a.k.a Bengaluru), which is located around 360kms from my hometown.

This is what I end up doing when I'm jobless!

I was introduced to Steemit by @firepower, a good buddy of mine from the time I used to take up karate classes (He happened to be my senior and an instructor there!) Over the years, I have accompanied him on several wonderful trips and rides across the city. Oh, and we've celebrated so many crazy new year nights together with our gang called 'Mannagudda Buddies'!

By professional, I’m a digital media specialist currently employed with a global IT company called Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). However, as I’m fed up of this corporate life and want to do something all by myself, I have decided to quit and work as a freelancer. I hope Steemit being the dynamic platform it is, gives me an opportunity to network with the best people across the globe.

I have had stints with advertising companies, radio stations, local TV channels and newspapers, businesses and a lot more. On the hobbies front, I am passionate about everything related to food, photography, technology and events.

I hope to be active on Steemit and contribute regularly to #photography, #food and #technology threads. I would also be happy to share my knowledge about digital media and media in general, should you have any queries.

My target here is to follow at least 500 awesome people and get 500 awesome followers within a month. Hope to achieve it with your support.

Please do follow, comment and upvote, so that we can together grow and contribute to society.

Much love,
Sudeep

Welcome to steemit Sudeep, how are you finding karate? Did you branch out to other martial arts?

Hey @evol10, sadly not :( It's been many many years since I stopped Karate as well :(

Welcome to Steemit! Hope you enjoy it here :)

Thanks a lot :) Stay connected!

Welcome to Steemit platform!! You will have such a good time here!! I do video tutorials for newbies and also yummy food ;) If you are very hungry, don't go to my page :P Alla xx

Sorry @allasyummyfood, I just couldn't resist visiting your page as I'm perpetually hungry :D Thanks for the warm welcome :) Following you!

hello @rjsudeep


you are very much welcome to steemit,a one of its kind in the history of social networks. i will like to share with you some lessons i learnt the hard way.

First,write on your area of strength, don't strugle more to get topics to write on, but when you write based on what you know/do well at, that becomes your brand and fellow steemians will know what to expect from you on every post.


don't beg for followers.


When people follow you on a quip pro quo basis, that's the foundation of not getting upvotes and comments because many of your followers didn't do so because they wanted what you have to offer but rather they are just there as numbers. #don't go for numbers, but value.


When i joined, after my intro post. i went low kay and started engaging with people on their posts and comments and like that,i was getting people that truly liked me for me. i must note that at some post as a newbie, i outrightly asked people to follow me but that was before i learned that it was one of the unwritten rule of steemit;don't beg for followers.


Again,paticipate in contests, it will conect you to people and probably, earn you some steem/steem dollar. and always try to leave a good comment on people's posts. this dose wonders. check out this contest[clickhere]https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@literature-trail/50-word-story-contest-week-19-join-for-a-chance-to-win-1000-trail-and-40-sbd

Finally, learn to engage. Get the esteem app on your phone so that after writing and posting with your pc,you can now use your phone and respond to replys on the go. This will help you build your followers.>/h4>

I hope that this piece will be of grate help to you as it has been for me[though i learnt the hard way]. Follow them and thank me later. : )

once more, you are welcome.

@arizonawise, you are indeed as wise as your username here :) Yes, I do not intend to get "spam followers" or "forced followers". The only reason why I pointed out saying I "hope to get" 500 followers and 500 to follow was to make my intention of posting quality content on the platform very clear. Thanks a lot for your valuable tips :)

Contests are something I'm quite interested in, so as soon as I start finding time, I'll be actively participating in many of these :)

PS: Upvoted and following you! :D

Namaste...(hope i got that right) with good post and consistency,we all shall make it here on steemit.

Thanks :) By the way, if you meant to say thanks, it would be 'Dhanyavaad'. Namaste is more like a welcome greeting like Hello/Good Day :) I'm planning to start a Steemit series on learning Indian languages. Maybe you could check that when I'm done, if its something that interests you :)

Awesome! that's what am talking about. This platform cuts across boundaries ethnicity and class, so each steemian should come with his or own unique concept and sell. That's what i keep telling every new person here, write on your area of strength. That will be nice my dear, let me know when it starts so as to help resteem. Namaste........ now i mean good day smiles

Haha for sure! Will let you know :) Is there a way to DM (Direct Message) on this platform or do I just tag you and you get notified? :)

there is an option for DM go to steemchat room and search my name.

I love your photo modification. You are very good at photo manipulation and have a great sense of humor. I hope you do many more .

meep

What's with the constant meeping? :D

you're gonna do juuuuust fine on here man. nice to meet you @rjsudeep Hope that when you do get 500 and 500 you also see about connecting offline or having Steemit meetups all over india. Just a thought. See you around!

Hey @ecoknowme thanks for the follow :) Yes, I do hope to have meetups here and get more people on board. This ecosystem needs to grow, if all of us wish to grow.

Awesome! I think Bangalore could become a great Hub, you could even tap into the Couch Surfer scene, I think there is a meetup at the Arbor Pub each Wednes, might've changed... But the idea that you could all blog in the same city and actually meet up is something I think that would be particularly easy where you are.

Oh cool! I'll check it out. By the way, where you based out of?

Not too far ;)

@ecoknowme That clue wasn't too helpful! :D :P
