Hello Steemit Community

in #introduceyourself • 7 years ago

Hi Steemit folks. I'm not very good with introductions so I'll try to keep this brief.

My name is Alicia and I'm from a state in the northeastern United States. I'm 21 years old, and I just finished my degree in political science. I love political debates and discussing policy and politics in general. I'm especially interested in U.S. foreign policy and international relations so I may write mostly about that.

I'm also starting law school in the fall so I may write about my experiences with that. I'm moving down South for law school so I might write about any interesting cultural differences as well.

This community seems very welcoming, and I'm happy to now be a part of it!

    Hello aurora796! 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!
