My early steem life

Hello steemians, my name is Magdnrobinson, but just call Robinson for short.

I joined steemit late December. How?
I was out with a friend who was about to travel the next day (boys hang out) when I saw my friend @gidionline, who had not been online for sometime, suddenly is chatting, am like bro, show me the way.
He introduced me to this platform and in a rush gave me all the info he could.
I was interested, and wanted to know more for myself, but the knowledge I could gather online was not convincing for me.
He told me the benefits as well, though I was reluctant at first, I told me to register me after 5days.

Challenges faced

#1: the terms were new to me, yes of cos, it won't be what am used to, but still I don't even understand them.

Seriously, what's even the meaning of sbd, steem power and rest., though with time I began to adjust to the terms, but hey! I still don't know what sbd is. 😁😁😁😁

#2---> upvotes.
Ok, now I was told the more upvotes you get the more your power and familiarity,
So I was added to a whatsapp group, now that one was a challenge of difference on its own so many people talking all at once. I felt Iike I was begging people to upvote my post, and am like this was not what I was told.

#3----> plagiarism : ok, I never for once upvote that which was not mine and if I use someone's material, referencing is done. Something happened some days back, I saw my friend Post her link, only for another steemian to respond that What she posted is the exact of what he did 2wks ago. I really couldn't help but laugh 😁 😁.

#4----> default 50/50.
You see that button at the end 👇 👇 👇, now my friend did his intro post and placed it on 100%, after 1 wk he was expecting his SBD, only to be surprised, it was then someone told him what he did wrong.

#5----> Secrets.
I love musics 🎶 and instruments, the keyboard 🎹 players would always teach you half Of what they know, and keep encouraging you, even when you are making mistakes, this was my situation, I was asking people who have been on this platform for long, how they do it with good upvotes, and how do I go about with tags, he just laugh and ignore the message or change the topic.
Yikes!!!!!

#5 gender biased.
Ok, this one I am suspecting, but lemme just say it, it's like steemit is gender biased, lol 😂, girls have more upvotes than the guys.

Even my convert gets plenty confused, I just told her to relax and enjoy it step by step no rush.

Thanks to @annabell and @gidionline, I as a newbie get more info and guide.

Mitup5 is a new orientation program organized by fellow steemian @vheobong.
And I hope to learn so much from this, be a better steemian and also help others who are so much hungry about how this steemit works.
I will pay 100% attention.
This is indeed gonna be a wonderful experience.
Go team work go
