You are more than just a minnow! You are destined for greatness!
Though I'm new here, I've been overwhelmed by the welcoming attitude and energy of this community. It's exciting to be a part of a collaborative space where people are lifting each other up rather than tearing each other down.
I was so excited to dive in and start connecting with like-minded and like-hearted people from around the world.
After a few days of mild obsession, I checked my account and realized I already had 133 followers. It was very exciting and I thought I'd reflect on a few ideas that could help out fellow minnows!
After all, we're all in this together!
I think we're all excited to be a part of a platform where people not only share great wisdom and experience, but we get rewarded for it. That being said, taking our focus off the money and putting it on serving others, spreading good vibes and networking with awesome people have been keys to a quick start.
Here are my top 3 tips for taking it to the next level:
1. Be yourself
This is a place where all are welcome, so be you! This is a community and we're here for each other. Share from your heart and people will be grateful to interact with you. You are amazing and when you shine your light, you inspire others to do the same. All good things take time, so focus on being authentic and enjoy the process!
2. Share Meaningful Comments
People can see right through spammy comments, so offer something to the conversation or ask a question and get your learn on! There are so many cool people on here doing amazing things. If you feel overwhelmed, go to the "introduceyourself" section and welcome some noobies. It felt so good to be welcomed when I came around and I plan on continuing to pay it forward.
3. Invest Your Time
All good things take time so start planting the seeds of connection with others and you never know how things will blossom and grow into something greater. I used to spend so much time mindlessly scrolling facebook, and I've cut that by about 80% this week and put that time and energy into Steemit. I've already found so many others passionate about growing food, abundance for all, and creating a peaceful world.
I'm excited to keep learning and riding this journey together.
Make it an awesome day and don't forget to take a breather and get out into nature. It's the best recharge!
Follow me @foodisfree and I'm looking forward to riding the waves with y'all!
Onward and upward,
John

Agreed! Just focus on making connections, posting content that speaks to you, commenting on content that speaks to you and I believe rewards will just happen. Life's not all about the "rewards" anyways. Cheers!

Incredibly welcoming post. What I like most about sites like Steemit, Reddit, etc...it gives an opportunity to those folks that are typically introverts in their day-to-day lives a real chance to speak out and engage with the community without having to feel awkward as many do IRL. There's no better feeling than when you meet like-minded people with similar interests and instantly become friends.
PS - Many would agree with the sentiment that it's a lot harder to make friends at 30 than it is at 18 :).
