Introduction Post

in #introductionpost • 7 years ago

I'm trying not to be a perfectionist.

I made this account months ago and today is the day I decide to write my introduction post. My goal was to make this an awesome, well-written, and thought out post, but the pressure I put on myself became too overwhelming. I ended up writing nothing at all. So I choose to stop letting my high expectations block me from new opportunities.

I choose to make 100 mistakes than to not experience at all.

Here is a picture of me in Ito, Japan.

Here is a picture of me voluntarily jumping out of an airplane.

These are examples of experiences I thought I'd never have and I'll never regret.

I looked up the guidelines for a successful introduction post but I decided to do the bare minimum and it feels so right. But do know, I will make the best of this experience. Get ready for my typos, grammatical errors, and randoms thoughts about my life experiences (I'm going to try not to overthink). Steemians, thanks for having me and welcome to my journey... away from perfectionism.

Oh yeah and I'm not a robot.

      Hello morc! 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!

        Hello, Morc, and Welcome to Steemit.

        Don't worry about making inconsequential mistakes. Simply do your best to make quality posts, and all else will come after that.

        ☺

        Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
        1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
        2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
        3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
        4 – Be yourself.
        5 – Be interesting and informative.
        6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
        7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

        Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
