Hey there! — SteemCN

Im Tom G, I live in Australia and enjoy listening to and making music, I am primarily a drummer but dabble in virtual instruments/mixing/mastering. I am a Boilermaker(metal worker) and family man. Looking forward to reading and sharing content with you all. I posted this earlier but forgot to use the #introduceyourself. 🙃

It is easy to edit posts also. Now... your first tag is not editable, but you can add or remove or change tags 2-5.

I have a few tips for you......:

find a community. Maybe join the @minnowsupport project.
comment and follow other's articles for your first 1-4 months here more than you do your own posts. This will actually help you to gain Followers. And improve and refine your Posting style(by seeing other's good examples and bad examples).
don't plan to get rich. If you come for money, it will probably be a struggle.
it will still be a struggle when you are new.... for 2 or 3 months. As you meet more steemians and ask questions and figure things out, it will get easier.
only Post original work. Many new Steemians get into trouble when they copy and paste things from Google or from the internet, AND IT IS NOT their photo, writing or work. IF you can't post your own things, better not post. Otherwise @cheetah will get suspicious!
comment and make friends, but don't ask "Follow me" or "please Upvote me" Maybe after you have become friends... maybe. But never as your first, second or third comment to them. Never!
Use appropriate tags. If the tag doesn't match. Don't use it. Tags are important to help people find what they are looking for. Misusing tags causes many problems here on Steemit.
have fun!

I am a community volunteer. I try to stop SPAM and trash and things that hurt Steemit. IF you see anything like that, please feel free to let me know, I will look into it!

Thanks for the info mate! Much appreciated

I was hoping to eventually post some of my music at some stage for people to criticise or maybe even enjoy. Is that possible on this platform? If so have you got any advice?

Welcome to Steemit and nice to meet you! Would love to learn more about being a boilermaker- you should do a post about your work!

Thank you very much. I will work on a post about my job some time soon

Welcome to the Steem World! You can post your music on Dmusic, but it's probably going to get more exposure on Dtube, just make an accompanying video.
I have recently made an orientation video that will help you in your journey here - and will hopefully answer all the questions that took me months to figure out.

I wish you all the best here on Steem!

Thanks! I’ll look into it 😉
