First Post ! - A thing or two about myself | Steem It freshie

in teammalaysia •  7 years ago  (edited)

Greetings Steem It! Before I introduce myself, I would like to thank Mr. Alvin Auh (also a content creator on Steem It) for introducing me and my fellow teacher trainees this amazing platform. Can't thank you enough. I will work my best to create valuable and quality content!

So for a little self-introduction (I'm trying my best to not rant or write crap in my first post), my name is Aelvina Dewi Edora Alex (little fun fact - 'Dewi' in the Malay and Indonesian language refers to goddess which I am definitely not. My dad named me 'Dewi' after a female warrior which is one of the characters from a Chinese comic book he enjoyed reading.)

I am 19 years old and I came from a small town (in Malay we call it as 'pekan'), Membakut. I am currently studying in Institut Pendidikan Guru (IPG) Kampus Gaya, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I am on a semester break and therefore I finally have the chance to compose my first post. Can't lie. I am excited yet nervous at the same time. I am quite conscious regarding my style of writing and afraid of what kind of feedback that I will receive. I love writing and writing is one of my way to express my thoughts and ideas better. Therefore, I started my own blog way before discovering Steem It. Sadly, I did not get to reach out that many readers, same goes to Wattpad (Yes I was also a freelance writer on Wattpad which what we called as the orange platform where you can read, write and publish your own literary work ranging from poetry writing, fictional/non-fictional story etc). I do enjoy writing on both of this platforms but I realised that I need a better platform in order for me to not only deliver my ideas to a wider range of readers (plus other content creators) but also for me to be able to grow and develop new refreshing ideas for me to share as a young-adult-to-be.

So here I am on Steem It, with a new refreshing and renew spirit! I have a lot more to learn so do not hesitate to leave your comment about any errors that I unconsciously made (grammatical ones especially sobs sobs) or any ideas that I can probably use in my upcoming posts. Thank you for reading and stay tuned!

Hello aelvinadewiedora! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
