Hi. I am 3 weeks new on steemit. I have used some articles from my other wordpress websites. I receiced replies that similar content was found on another website. But i explained it was my own website. Now I change some wording to my original content.
One thing i noticed is that it is better to start off with shorter posts, if you break it up more, you'll have more chances of votes, since your following is still only a few-don't waste the best at first.
I could be wrong, but that's how I see it from here.
