New to Steemit, figured I'd introduce myself!

brandad666 (25)in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

Hey steemit, I'm Brandon! I'm a musician, recording engineer, screen printer, dog dad (soon to be real dad) and pedicabber currently living in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I'm into biking, running, coffee, ginger beer, and cooking.

My friend Dustin showed me steemit a month or so ago & it seemed like a rad community to explore & support people in a unique and tangible way.

I'll be leaving Pittsburgh soon to go back to my hometown of Springfield, IL, awaiting the arrival of my first born baby boy this November.

I play in the bands Looming (www.loomingband.com), PARK (www.listentopark.com), and Night Night Boy (www.nightnightboy.bandcamp.com). I'm into a lot of emo, math rock, post rock, hip hop, and lately quite a bit of jazz.

Stoked to find a network on steemit!

Hello brandad666! 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:

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.
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.
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.
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.
Have Fun and Enjoy!
