Hello everyone!!
I've been encourage to give this a try, and I'm finally getting my toes wet! I would like to know how to get better acquainted with this new social/crypto media stuff! It would help me out a lot if anyone could give me a few pointers and tips!!
Thank you in advance my friends!
Welcome to Steem, Maryxjane! Glad that you decided to dive in and join the community. It takes a while to get used to how to interact with the blockchain but there's a wealth of people who are happy to help with any questions that you may have. Should you wish to share your singing, there's many who showcase their musical talents in #openmic, #dtube, and #dsound.
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.
One tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
We wanted to let you know, we have given you a 25% upvote, are now following you, and are introducing you to everyone we know. You can visit our post HERE.
You can also visit our discord server, The Steem Terminal, which is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!

Welcome to Steemit maryxjane. The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. You should also check out DTube and DSound for starters and if you're a gamer, Steem Monsters! There are many other cool apps but I can't list them all here, there's just too many! But I'd also like to mention Steempeak, it's a better blogging platform that has a lot of cool features. Welcome to the blockchain! :) Oh, and if you're interested in creating your own tokens or smart contracts, check Steem engine!
@janne thank you for your advice, I'll definitely check out steempeak. How long have you been on the block chain?

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Welcome my friend!
Please allow me to tell you 2 things... 1) you are very beautiful and I am from Venezuela so I know a lot of beautiful people 2) The learning curve is not hard but it does take time... Make sure you read a lot and from many sources... Do not take decisions lightly, take your time... Think before making serious steps but always make a decision. Stay focused and active and you shall find great people here.
Do not waste your RC (this is the power you have to comment and make new posts... I made the mistake of commenting before I had enough power to do so)...
Engage with people....
Have fun!
@achatainga thank you for your suggestions. So is RC the same as me replying back to you? And do you mean we have a certain limit of posts until you can get more power?
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes... RC is your mana sort to speak. (Please do not to reply me again here, you are losing mana join me on discord: https://discord.gg/pvNFs24 we can chat as much as you want there). There are many people here who know more than me but I can share what I know. For example, I lost a lot of RC (which does recharge over time but slowly for you) replying to bots. Also, do not vote because you waste voting power.
On Steem blockchain you have to pay for everything you want to do and you get a reward if whatever you do is useful.
Everything you do is publicly available. This quick link https://steemd.com/@maryxjane will show you a lot of geeky stuff you will learn. Right now your RC is 17% you will be "blocked" from doing anything if it gets to 0 and you need to wait 4 days for full recharge.
Do not comment to anyone and do not like anything more... each post you make now can give you around 0.2$ if done right (that is what it gave me) and you can do only 3 more because of the actions you have already taken.
I made the same mistake so do not blame yourself... you are welcome to join my server which is empty but it's fine, everyone needs a discord server.

Welcome to steemit! It is all a bit confusing at first but it is definitely worth it because there is an amazing community here, one like none-other I have ever been a part of. There are many different kind of groups you can join from pro-marijuana groups to foodies to stackers and everything inbetween depending on your personal preferences so stick around a while and see all of what steemit has to offer.
BTW i love your name ;) Of course I am a pot smoking hippie so probably no surprise there. lol. anyhow, hope to see you around.
@moderndayhippie thank you. Lol who ever doesn't like Marijuana I am weary about lol jk. Yes it's a bit confusing but it takes time to learn. You will definitely will be seeing me around here. Still deciding what I should be post, I really enjoy singing so maybe I can show off my "average" singing voice on here if I'm brave enough to!
Posted using Partiko Android
Im weary about those people too! 😉 LoL. Posting isn't nearly as important as commenting when you first join, that will help meet people and get you some followers so your post don't just dissapear into the ocean of steemit posts.
There are a few groups on here that do open mic days and karaoke both have rewards for winners. Everyone is incredibly supportive and hrlpful. You can also post it on @dtube (youtube for steemit) and might find some fans who tip rather good.
Anyhow, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Take care.
Welcome to Steemit @maryxjane. First off a few things to keep in mind:
Key security. You have a master password to your account. Try to never use this unless you need to recover your account in full. It's best to only use your posting key to log in and vote as well as post. Use the active key for wallet transactions and the like. This is the best way to keep your account secure and free from being hacked.
Try to use the correct tags when creating content. You have use of five tags. If ever you are in doubt as to what category your content she be published under refer to other users works in a similar vein.
People are big on using spamming links to hack others accounts. Always check a link before you click.
There are a lot of folks who are big on fighting plagiarized content here. Always include image source credits so it doesn't look like copyright. Same goes for quoting others. It's just easier to do than not and will keep folks from calling something you worked on plagiarized.
So that's it for newbie starter tips. If you throw yourself at working hard on Steemit you can do well here. Just produce heartfelt good quality content. Making money here doesn't come easy, but you can do it with good old fashioned elbow grease. Best of luck.
@mudcat36 thank you! I will definitely keep my eyes open for weary links.. didn't think that could happen here but I suppose it's still the internet. Thanks for the heads up about sourcing (reminds me of school again hehe)
