Introduce Yourself - New Kid on the Block
Dear fellow Steem seekers ๐,
I attempted to write an introduceyourself post when I just joined Steemit, however I didn't exactly do it right. Being a noob and all, I started reading other people's intro post to learn what works and what doesn't.
Most of what I read was pretty funny because of how lame some of the posts were.So here's my attempt and hopefully if you think it's lame you'll still have a bit of a snicker. ๐
I am a 23-year-old South African living in Vietnam trying to work and travel at the same time. I live with my girlfriend Ashley in a rural part of central Vietnam called Ha Tinh.... and yes they do eat dog here. ๐
Things I like; pizza, burger, and coffee. Things Vietnamese people generally don't like. Thus leaving me in search of new likes and dislikes in a foreign country. This is easier said than done as most conversations are had using google translate - which leads to some interesting responses. ๐
I intend to use steemit as an outlet for story telling and blogging about our adventures and travels here in the wild wild east. So if you are interested in reading about food, travel and getting lost in Vietnam click on follow and you'll see more of me. ๐
Here's a photo from our latest trip to the Ninh Binh Province:
Also I am a soppy romantic so you'll sometimes see cute and gooey posts about my girlfriend and I.. so deal with it๐
I look forward to many fruitful interactions with Steemit users from all over the world! Drop me a comment and say wasssup!
Great introduction! Feel free to follow me, to get some free steem dollars!
READ, UPVOTE, FOLLOW, COMMENT and RESTEEM โค๏ธ @neowne

That's legit! Thanks for the help!
Welcome :)!
Here a few tips for starters snce you probably won't get any advice from those who comment under here, here's what I gathered thus far.
It's tough to make money at first so if that's your main cause to be on here grind that into your head straight away, that doesn't mean you shouldn't post content, you should, but enganging with others in the comment sections to grow your following is your best bet. Which categories?
Probably the introduce yourself one and the photography section but you can choose things that you have knowledge about too and then go from there just know that there is a lot of crap on here so plowing through that just to connect with others can be tough. Cheers.
Well judging by that GIF, I reckon you must be a funny bloke ๐ thanks for your feedback and advice. I'm not really here to make money, but rather to see if this is the next big social media platform. Is this the evolution of facebook minus the advertising bullshit?
I hope you're wrong about making new friends, but let's see how the wheel turns from here.
How long have you been using Steemit?
Well welcome fellow South African!!! I always see on the new posts follow me I'll follow you. Don't go down that route. Like, comment, follow and resteem those that mean something to you then you'll be just fine :):) I'll let @teamsouthafrica know we have a fella dog eating Saffa onboard :):) Welcome and have fun!! Oh, just reply if I should do that, the teamsa thing :) Cheers!!
Thanks for the advice mate! Where are you based?? Please add me to TeamSA, would like to partake in some SAFFA humor :D .. Have a great day or night wherever you are out there ๐
Cool, np :):) I'm based in Cpt. I'll let @cheetoblue know. He'll be able to guide you towards the local humour:)
Thank you for the help mate! Really appreciate your guidance :D
Hey hey. I had a chat with @cheeto.blue. What you can do is write a comment on one of the latest posts containing the #teamsouthafrica tag. Heck, my latest one has the tag or you can just do a #teamsouthafrica tag search :):) Cheers!!
Will do the tag search right away! ๐
This my brother!!!!!!! Like my real life bruvva ๐
Oh wow, you guys are really working the family :):)
Literally ๐
Thanks sister Dearest!
All my posts also have the teamsouthafrica tag. I'll help u a bit later x

Sup! I see you have been on steemit for some time now so thanks for the intro, it's been an intresting read. You get an upvote and maybe upvote some of my stuff too!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those big upvotes on my posts so you should try out @MinnowPowerUp where you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up through steemit! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and share my own experience in earning wupvotes for over $1 a day.
Hey @kromosoom!! I joined a while back, but have had a hectic past few months with uprooting my life and moving to a new continent and all... so now that I have settled and had some time I decided to give Steemit a good go.
I will read your post and try grasp how @MinnowPowerUp works over the next few days.
Tomorrow morning at 5am I leave to go explore the biggest cave in the world, it's right here in Vietnam, so as you can imagine there won't be any WiFi there ๐
Please share any other advice you may have for a noob like myself... I appreciate your input! ๐
