Welcome to the world of SteemIt! Oh, my goodness, where do I start? haha. I just loved your video. You are so open and seem to be happy to be here on the blockchain! I am part of a Makers Space here in the States called Fablab and I just love it. I am able to make so many things from my GO stickers to 3D printing projects to large woodworking items. I just love the space. I look forward to seeing the future videos you make about your robotics. You do need to know that DTube does not keep your videos long after a payout so don't delete your videos after you upload them to DTube. Keep them saved! We learned the hard way. Anyway, welcome to the community!
One of the things that will help you grow here in the world of SteemIt is to remember that community is the reason this is such an amazing place to be. To get involved in that community you want to read what everyone is writing and you want to comment, sincerely comment on what you have read. This helps to get your name out there and helps people get to know you in addition to your blog posts and videos. Comment, comment, comment is what we encourage to grow in this community. However, being new you probably have a low Steem Power (SP) which means you will have a voting power and low resource credits. (You can find that information here: https://steemd.com/@yournameHERE). The key is, while you are so low in SP, to keep your Resource Credit number to about 80%. Here's a great article by @welcomewagon to explain why: https://steemit.com/welcomewagon/@welcomewagon/80-why-you-need-to-know-it
The same is with your voting power. If you are like we were when we began, we thought the "upvote" was like Facebook's "like" button. It is, but it holds a lot more weight because you are actually paying someone Steem (money) for their work. Because of that, you don't want to push the vote button for every post you read; only vote if it really is good quality and content you truly enjoyed. Here is a video by @sethlinson that might help explain it a bit better:
We hope this helps you get around easier. You are always welcomed to ask us questions and if we don't know the answer, we will get you to someone who can. Welcome to the SteemIt Community and can't wait to see what you have in store for us all!
Thank you so much for those kind words and for the great welcome! So... I will not give you an upvote then for the comment, as per you recommendation. :) The reason why I even learned that I should make an #introduceyourself post was because I found the post by @jerrybanfield here:
