Hello Newbies! Another Wednesday has come again. The day that most newbies look forward to. It's the 4th episode of Ask Me Anything About Steemit Wednesday (AMAWED). Please, note the change in time to 12:30 pm (CET) in the afternoon. Don't hesitate to leave your questions. I'll only be available to respond in the afternoon.
Usually, I look forward to these sessions where both facilitators and other attendees get to learn from one another. I guess my co-facilitators @oluwoleolaide, @eurogee, @sweetestglo-eu, @honourmaus can attest to the learning experience too. The session is not just a boring question and answer (Q & A) session. No! There is also room for humor too, which make it unique. So don't miss out! In case you couldn't be part of the third edition of AMAWED, do well to check it out here.
Four (4) Things You Need To Come With
For now, you only need to bring with you four (4) things
- A comfortable chair
- A bottle of coke, beer, cup of coffee/tea, water, or any drink of your choice (my branded steemit mug is ready to be filled with green tea)
- Pop corn, according to @jaynene in the last 3 editions. Lol! Any snack would do
- Most importantly, your questions, probably written down
It's your friend and host, @maryfavour

I am relatively new on the platform. Gave my introductory post yesterday and I am yet to see the encouragement I expected or as told. I barely even have followers. My question ma is where do I go from here? Or what do I do from now?

Hi @olufunke, steemit is a platform where everything is based on socializing. I know you will familiar with other platforms like facebook and twitter which basically run on interaction. In my own view about steemit, I concluded that steemit isn't all about posting to get rewards, but steeming to get networked. I wrote a post a few days ago about what newbies need to know about this community when it comes to getting noticed by other steemians. All you have to do is relax and enjoy your time here.
Surf around the community to see where you fit in and probably start your adventure from there, make friends with people, avoid spamming people's post or troll any and most importantly, always have an original and good content to post.
This place @redfishpillar is a good place to start your adventure and I wish you all the best.

Welcome Olufunke, i think i saw the post and steem-lagos gave its tiny surpport. But from our mentoring classes-we urge newbies not to make Intropost till they have a rep of say 30 and above...
The easiest way i say is make about 100 comments in 3 days, your rep jumps up. Those users you made comments on and probably folllowed are the ones to give your $5 to $100 on your intro post.
I wish i had anyone coached me while i joined im March!

Thank you, @oluwoleolaide for the useful advice that you've given @olufunke.
The easiest way i say is make about 100 comments in 3 days, your rep jumps up.
When she came here this morning, her rep was just 25, but having interacted with us here, the rep is now 33. Moreover, she should continue interacting with people. That is key in steemit for everyone, especially newbies.
Same here. These folks should be grateful that there are people who are willing to take them by the hand and help them find their feet. I had no one to help me too. I continued to wallow in ignorance for months. It is well. Cheers.

Hmm...you can say that again. I am even more surprised that the people whose name she mentioned in her introductory post , apparently did not do justice to her introductory post. Let me give the benefit of doubt that they didn't know that she has written that post.

Hello, @olufunke! Welcome to AMAWED and a very warm welcome to steemit. I need not to say much again, because @eurogee, @bat-junior @jaynene have give you invaluable pieces of advice.
I see from your introductory post that @tojukaka and @phait introduced you to the platform. Be grateful to them for doing so, because you are on a very unique social media platform, different from facebook, instagram, etc. Follow all of us here, if you like what we do. Interact in a healthy way like @eurogee highlighted. Join steemit communities of your interest to help you grow. @redfishpillar is one of them. Personally, I'll tell @dragonslayer109 to add you to the AfricaUnited group. There you'll be able to interact with fellow Africans, not just Nigerians only. Find out what these 2 esteemed steemians, @stellabelle and @surpassinggoogle are doing on their blogs. You might want to follow @maryfavour too, if you like what she does. Check out @steemgigs and see if you like it. if you reside in Lagos, follow @steem-lagos. There is a lot, but let me stop here for now. Please, do not hesitate to ask more questions. We are here to help you find your feet in steemit.

One more thing. When you have time, go and read, @stellabelle's most recent blog post. I think she has something for newbies, when you follow her instructions. No vote begging, no begging for followers. Keep interacting,networking and learning from those of us who have been here for sometime now. Make sure to follow @redfishpillar account and participate in the programs.

Hello, @olufunke. I've visited your blog, read the generic introduceyourself post and have left you a message with a 100 % upvote, worth $1.15 to welcome you to steemit. Please, read all my responses from @redfishpillar and those of all who have given you very useful pieces of advice here. Notice too that by interacting with us, your reputation that was 25 when you joined in this morning is now 33. Welcome aboard, once again and enjoy the steemit ride! Cheers.

Just keep trying and never stop posting. Most steemians here too went through the same thing, but today is a different story entirely, and for the followers, don't worry they will come naturally and please follow people that inspires you only. Steemit is different from other social media where you will need followers to be seen and heard. Don't give up yet. Going to your post now to give you an upvote even though it doesn't worth much.

Glad to be here for the second time in my very short time on Steemit, a special morning to you all. As usual am already here with my chair, a bottle of pepsi with bread then my questions.
Here are my questions;
Is it advisable to power down the little you have as a minnow, maybe because you need subscription money and your posts are not fetching enough money yet and you still don't want to give up plus you think since your steem power is not that effective yet and you feel like you can make a little sacrifice now for future greatness so as not to give up.
What is your view on poetry? I heard that some curators don't like upvoting poetry which in one way or the other I have also confirm too.
What genre of post do you think a newbie should focus much on (motivation, life, music, poem and the likes) putting aside his/her present interest. I know we all have to be ourselves by studying ourselves and know what we are good at individual but what genre do you think is the best for a minnow.
Those are my few questions for this week AMAWED ma, looking forward to your answers ma. Thanks.

1: To me as a redfish or even minnow its wrong to power down, rather you power up if you have some sbd , or choose the 100% pay out, but if you feel you need the money then you can do a 50%50 so you get 50% of your payout.
2: I love poetry, its lovely, it tells the mind of people, if you read well the curator asked why are all Nigerians into poetry? That doesn't mean it can't be curated.. Just don't post 'tweet posts' ...
3 As a newbie find yourself and check what you can keep up with.. Choose anyone , no one has to do the choosing for you!
I hope this helps.

Yes......it helps but back to the first question ma. Let look at it from this angle, am a new newbie who is earning below $1 per post and i do post twice in a day and i do use data of over 4gb per week (going by the current data price in Nigeria, that is something around #3000) everything on my wallet weekly will even struggle to reach that landmark, so how do i survive without power down everything i have on my wallet and remember there is no outside help for me.
