Introducing my new blog, GeekyStuff. And myself of course :)

Hi Steemians!

I'd like to introduce myself and also my product review blog "GeekyStuff".

I have created this blog because I love exploring new and trending objects that have a huge novelty factor. For the most part I will stick with tech gadgets, but will remain open and review just about anything that is fun, interesting and/or unique. My vision is to provide a reliable, trustworthy source for reviews along with special deals and offers that I find around the internet while making a lot of like-minded friends in the process. I will also share what I have learned from creating a Steemit blog.

A little about me

I'm a digital nomad, as in I travel around the world while working as a software engineer from my computer, at least for several months each year. In this line of work I meet many interesting people, and do my best to learn from them. I want to share content on Steemit because I just really love this site. Also, like many people recently I have deleted my Facebook account due to their spying and looseness of securing user data. For this reason I am now searching for an alternative community. After "lurking" here on Steemit for too long, I've decided it is time to contribute something back.

I have lots of hobbies too! Camping, motorcycles, travel, beer brewing, cryptocurrencies and language learning are just a few. And I love animals and think that we humans can learn so much from them.

Anyway, hopefully you will accept me in the community and I look forward to sharing my experiences and thoughts with you all :)

Saludos!

Hello geekystuff! 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!
