Hi Trevor! Thanks for your words of wisdom. I would like to also share some tips I learned too.

1 of the biggest errors I see with people coming onto Steem is telling others to get into it as well and they can make a ton of money.

One word... WRONG!!!!

If you are here to make money and not provide any value in your posts, I'll call 911 cuz you just shot yourself in the foot, Barney Fife!

Money is the result of providing great value to the marketplace. The best content getting a lot of attention are how to posts in crypto currencies. Others do well too Like "how to" posts or "where can I find ___ "; content like that. Everyday how to posts like cooking, or how to make stuff or even travel posts can do very well. But the problem most people get is that they make 3 posts, then quit cuz they are not getting any action. So...

Do your homework on what posts are making the most money then become very knowledgeable in that topic and post about it. Oops Sorry if I gave away the goods there...

The biggest thing that new people need to do first is to build a following by commenting on other peoples posts and click on the hot and trending menus and click on a post like this and comment and leave it positive to attract people to you who will follow. In other words be nice. 20 comments a day would be a good start. Comments should also be longer than 4 lines and is also on the topic of course.

Upvote posts and comment before you post your own content. Build a following. Once a large number is reached, then post your own content. Also if you can invest into steem do it. It doesn't have to me a lot but a good starting number that was suggested to me is $100, then as Trevor mentioned, put it into steem power. (I still have to do that myself! ha ha :) )

Anyway great tips Trevor and I'll be sure to follow you.

Cheers!
