Hi again everyone, this is not a how to blogpost although it has some elements of it. This is me summing up everything I know about Steem that I acquired through watching a few Youtube videos. I’m posting this to see roughly what am I still missing or rather where should I start looking in the near future.  1. So the first thing I noticed about Steem is the overall vibe here is great, the community-Steemians are really trying to keep this in a serious, productive and cooperative mood, which I love. To me this platform looks like a place where You can really interact with people, communicate Your ideas, find new and useful information and get working on new stuff. I plan on being active in the community and engage with others and contribute as much as I can. Any tips for meeting people or starter sites or beginner info blogs? 2. The content You are posting must be valuable in some sense, meaning that it must provide value to others, be engaging, funny, creative, educational, or productive. It is obvious that not every content will be liked by every person out there but there is a general idea of finding the sweet-spot between what you love and what other people love. If You can find that You will be awarded. I will start adding content as often as I can to attract as many people to my Steem blog. Any content You would recommend for me ? 3. Consistency matters- as we all learned on Youtube or other blogs the host of the channel we are following has a unwritten obligation to keep producing content to the audience he crated. If someone likes Your blog, pictures or videos he will come for more, or re-consume Your product after You have refreshed it. So again I will try to be regularly frequent and keep posting interesting content. The idea is to separate this blog into a few categories that interest me and publish a post about each one of them on a regular base. 4. Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power- So the cryptocurrency Steem has been known to me because I followed a lot of coins online, looking to invest and make some money, but I haven’t been very active in executing up until now, so I hope to change that in the coming future. It works like any other currency, it’s price goes up and down and can be sold or bought at exchanges or earned through this platform. Steem dollars are pegged against the US dollar and are usually around the price of one dollar. At the time I’m writing this it is around 0.80$ so it seems like some of the stable-coins always staying around the same number to provide some safe-heaven in case the price of Steem goes too low. The last one is Steem Power which affects the upwoting influence of Your platform activity meaning that if You have a lot of it Your vote will be more influential over other votes. Both of these can be converted into Steem, both are earned through activity. Is there any other usage or application of these 2 that I’m missing? 5.Tags- I noticed that at the bottom of the blog post you can choose which tags you want Your blog to be associated with. You can only use 5 though, unlike Instagram where You can put as many as You like here You are limited. What if I choose the wrong one and people don’t see my content because of it ? Any tips for starting or selecting tags? Wich ones are most popular and is there like do’s and don’ts of tagging? 6. Strategies- I understand that this is just my second post, but I am already interested in strategies that people who use this platform for a longer time have, so I can prepare for it and maybe start implementing them. For now my strategy is really simple- post my posts, watch the trending category and learn, and third part is engage with the content creators that I like and the community to increase my influence. Any tips or better strategies for starting than this one? If You have any other ideas for me or suggestions to start with or to orient myself, please feel free to comment. When You are starting You don’t know enough so please help me to start this process as smooth as possible.
