IT IS EITHER STEEMIT OR STEEMIT!!!

Hi Steemians or steemitians or cool people :) am yet to find out the correct way to address you. Oh well I do not know which rock I have been hiding under because I had honestly not heard about this awesome platform. Before I go on and on about how I love Steemit already, I will just introduce my self. Jennifer is my name and am commonly known as Jennie and of course afrycanbarbie because am African and proud to be. To be specific , am Ugandan, born and raised in Kampala. This is the point I would imagine some applause from the crowd from those familiar with the place. Just so you know right now I feel like am holding a microphone speaking to a large cool crowd of steemit members. Yes for now I will use this till I get the right way to refer to my fellow members here. Oh yes , back to the introduction bit , I love eating , travelling , parting , meeting new people, swimming and the list goes on. Reading is a habit am forming and with that writing comes along. Thank God for Steemit! I am a business development professional with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Economics and currently pursuing my masters degree in Business Administration. I learnt to accept that studying never ends or rather learning throughout our lifetime.If I was to describe myself in three words, I would say I am an extrovert, fun and ambitious. Honestly self introduction is never that easy because it always feels better when someone else introduces you with all the credit you didn't think you had earned so for now I will stop here. Let the rest be a mystery. The point is am glad to be here thanks to my old time friend @ireneblessing IMG_20180710_075815_418.jpg

Hello afrycanbarbie! 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!
