New to Steemit
Hello Steemit community,
I'm extremely excited about discovering Steemit. I stumbled across an article in Forbes Magazine that lead me to various subsequent articles eventually leading to Steemit. As this is my first week using Steemit, I expect to face a learning curve and some set backs.
I'm looking for advice from anyone who will give it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I'll be using this platform for just yet. I'm thinking I'll share my travels through pictures and posts. My wife and I are crew members on a 140' yacht that travels up and down the East Coast of the US.
Hello @dtheory27! Welcome! I hope you have fun in steemit community! 😊
Hi and welcome! I'm new myself and looking forward to getting involved. Good luck with your travels! xoxo
Hey @outoftheoffice, welcome as well :-)
thanks!! :)
Welcome to steemit 😀 any advise you need if I can give it I will!
I'm not really sure how to use Steemit. I guess it's like any other social media platform except for the wealth sharing. I'll check out your post for insparation.
Don't worry I was the same you'll pic it up, it's quite a simple site to be honest
Hi @dtheory27, welcome to Steemit! :-)
For advice, I would suggest at first mostly read other people's posts, write thoughtful comments, vote, follow people who you like. And yes, sharing photos is a good idea. You may not get many votes for them initially, but over time if you do those other things, you should gather followers and start getting votes/rewards for your content.
Thank you. I'll take your advice.
I read that voting decreases your voting influence. What's up with that?
It recovers fairly quickly. It's like a mana/energy bar in a computer game. If your voting power wasn't finite in some way, you could use an automated script to give yourself unlimited influence, and that wouldn't be fair to other users.
Welcome to Steemit!
Thanks
welcome
Hello and welcome to Steemit @dtheory27. Great to have you join the community. Looking forward to seeing posts on your travels. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Upvoted and followed.
Well since you said I could. If upvoating decreses your voting influence, how can one increase or regain voting influence. I believe the FAQ stated that voting power is like the life bar in a video game, the more you use it the weaker it gets.
