4 Tips for Newbies on Steemit

in steemit •  6 years ago  (edited)


Hey Dtube & Steemit!

My name is Lydia,

I wanted to share with you 4 tips that I believe are pretty crucial to know here on Steemit. I recently have had more people ask me, do you have any tips or can you help me out on Steemit?

So I made this video to compile my top tips of what I think is important for Steemit.

  1. Make your posts GREAT: Spend the time required to make a good post,

    • people notice hard work and effort,
    • do some research on your topic and make sure your informed about your topic.
    • don't plagiarize
  2. Be realistic with your expectations.

    • don't expect as a beginner to get massive upvotes.
    • don't expect your post of a few words to receive $100..
  3. Be CONSISTENT!!!

    • A lot of people quit because they are not getting rewarded, which is understandable but I believe hard work pays off.
    • Dont give up...were still early on Steemit there is a long road ahead of us.
  4. Find your niche

    • Do what you like.
    • Don't do what other people are doing just because they are good at it, it may not be your thing...
    • If you love what your doing you wont get tired of doing it.

Hope you enjoy the vlog!

Greetings, sweet Lydia

I think it's pretty important that post you made to help staff that enters the steemit to learn things here.

Once in a while I'm in the introduceyourself tag and read the posting from beginners. When, I see you really are beginners and not a second account, help with the same words to all of them:

Before entering the steemit and start to really write, read all you can on this platform to learn to deal with the writing here and the knowledge of the financial part, how to delegate power steem, differences between sp and sbd. How to use the market. How to post good content, choose the appropriate tags to the text, communicate by discord, promote post, etc. I think it helps other staff that goes to focus well and have more success here.

I really appreciate your post.

Thank you and good night!

Hi @julisavio! I`m here to help :) If you want to delegate, please make a comment (for example replay to this one) like this:
I want to delegate X sp to @user
Where X is the amount of SP and @user is the steem user you want to delegate to. For example:
I want to delegate 100 sp to @alphasteem
Hope this helps!:)

Thanks. You are right about all the other points you make as well even I'm still learning some of those 😁

Great video, great tips. My only other suggestion would be engage, engage, engage.

When you see a post you like leave a comment ABOUT that post. 'Nice post' doesn't get it. When somebody leaves a comment on your post, respond with grace. Never, ever miss a chance to engage somebody.

Nice post :) Thanks for it!

Yeah, I can't believe I forgot that one out haha. I try to get back to all my comments as well even though I'm behind... Thanks for the input @bigtom13

On top of all of this if you are beautiful you will get more money.
This is a fact!

Thanks. I don't necessarily think that is the case 100% though. I also work very hard to get a good message out there and my cooking show takes a lot of work and I try to make them the best I can every time.

Being a New baby on this platform for some time now.
Its not easy surviving after posting several good content but zero upvote most time.
Once you don't have money to invest or you are not into crypto currency then no one wants to hear you.

We need support also

I dont do many posts about crypto. Actually very few. But I do try to make all my videos as best as I can and especially my cooking show. And its important to be authentic. Each of my posts are new and my own, which is easy when you do video. If your blogging, make sure people know its you doing it. It takes time to build up the trust. I actually made a video stating that I dont know too much about cryptos like other people before.

Good article :) , I am new on steemit , so I very glad about this :) !

Hey there! Thanks and welcome! Hope it helps!

Thank you for your insight. I have been on here for about 5 months and it definitely makes a difference if you have a passion for what your writing. I would like to add if someone has problems coming up with a defined topic is to use clustering. Basically defining what you like into something you can write about. My English teacher taught me this and it is still helpful to this day. Cheers :)

Yes I agree. Very good lesson from your English teacher. 😀 Gotta find your niche. For me I'm not the best blogger so I prefer to stick to videos.

That's funny you say that. I like to write sometimes but I like photography more. I'm really happy that steepshot is available so I can post it :)

Thank you so very much, am new on steemit, Still trying to find my niche and what I could do.. Thank you for the help, the post really helped

Friend expresó muchos consejos sabios, pero el punto focal de esta plataforma se basa casi en un solo punto y es este: (Si te encanta lo que haces, no te cansarás) muchos principiantes se retiran y se cansan porque no votan su contenidos, pero la idea es que se concentren en lo que les apasiona, en mi caso la comida y la pastelería, y siempre le doy un toque especial a mis recetas, le agradezco a Dios que no me haya desmayado y las pocas personas que puede tomar un tiempo para leer mi publicación, son aquellos que me animan a no desmayar y seguir adelante todos los días, gracias por sus consejos, felicitaciones, saludos desde Venezuela.

Thank you! I don't speak Spanish but I can make out some of it. Appreciate your input.

Nice

Thanks!

@alphasteem thanks for the tips, would watch the vlog as my network signal isnt all that at the moment.I like the tip about finding a niche and sticking with it. I think most of us really dont understand the power of niching down instead of being generalist. To be effective as content creators on the blockchain we need to be clear as to who is our target reader and stick to topics that resonates with them.

Yeah, I agree...it's ok to try new things for sure but there should be a "main" focus to your channel, kind of branding yourself or your Chanel in a way. At least that's how I see it. But if people are just here as a social media platform then they might not want to do that and just engage I have seen that too. Thank you for the input!

great tips and great video. Always learning from you.

Glad to hear that 😁

Thanks for the advice, It is my 7th day here in the blockchain and I had found that is to make great posts always, do my research well and have my own opinion.
Another thing I have found helpful for me its to comment, but actually reading the article and not some kind of generic response but a conscious one that adds to the article.
At the end I'm enjoying myself treating this like a Reddit with an upside, and I have read a lot of great articles, I'm still trying to get my own blog up to speed but I figure that time will be in my favor. If I remain consistent I will get there. Thanks again.

Yes you are correct, I didn't touch on that too much really but commenting and engaging with others is a big one that's what this is all about for sure. Yes, just keep it up that to me is what helped the most I would say...your welcome and thanks for your great input!

You are welcome! Of course, in a social network page, it's just fitting that social interaction is rewarded, but the more I interact with people here the more I notice that the community here is great, united and proud, now that's a community I want to be part of!

Awesome tips alpha!! Man I wish someone had been around to give me awesome tips like this when I first started on Steemit. Back then it was total chaos and I defintely didn’t know what I was doing. This will be really helpful for noobs!!

You telling me the famous @goldmatters didn't know what he was doing?!?! This is nonsense 🤣

Ha ha!! I feel like I still have no idea what I’m doing!

Haha! Likewise! But that's half the fun right?

Thanks for all those amazing tips, I will try to follow all of them. ☺

You are doing well. Just keep it up!

It's really hard to not giving up at the beginning when you see how good others deal on steemit.
But as you said there is no reason to rush it out. It will change over time in good direction :)
Thanks for your advices! They are really helpful :)

Yeah I agree. But the ones doing really good have been here probably 2 years...so its a lot of work. Your welcome!

All your points are well taken. I already have learned from you a few things just by watching your videos and this one complements what I have learned. There is one point I want to make, though. This environment is not perfect. Hard work and persistence are not necessarily rewarded. Whales vote for whales regardless of the quality of the post. My conclusion is as follows: Just be yourself, place quality posts, if money comes, great, if it does not, don't worry.

Glad to hear that. I agree eith what your saying. But I know a lot of whales are out there looking for good content too like dtube/dlive/curie and other individuals. Whales vote for whales regardless of quality yes, that just means we have to work even harder to make ours as best as we can to get noticed.

Thank you for the tips, it's my second day on Steemit and DTube. Subscribed

Your welcome! And welcome, im sure you will love it. 😄

Thank you, I'm new here and I know I won't recieve a lot of upvotes because I've just started 6 days ago, but when someone upvotes me and also comment something in my posts I feel really good and useful, like I'm contributing to the grow of this platform :) and obviously we all like to get our work recognized!
Now, I have a question: is it important to have a chat in discord with people here? I don't know how important is and I don't have one either.

Yes your right every quality post helps contribute to the growth of the platform. Discord is helpful, I am in there a lot for me i think it has helped. You can also use the post promotion channels in there to help you get more recognition. I wouldnt say it is necessary though. I know some successful steemians that are not on discord. If you want DM me on discord I can help with some questions you may have.

Thank you for your offering, I'll have it in mind :)

Really helpful for me. Thanks you 😍

Your welcome ❤️
