<center>I am trying for 5 days to write this post and i didn't find the time to actually create it until now so...<h1>Here it goes :)</h1></center>


<center>![DQmTub7xY5xmqMWMZc5hxZMAAbW5m7iVehu9UEmt9aGXH43.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTub7xY5xmqMWMZc5hxZMAAbW5m7iVehu9UEmt9aGXH43/DQmTub7xY5xmqMWMZc5hxZMAAbW5m7iVehu9UEmt9aGXH43.jpg)</center>

<center>Usually the best approach is to tell from own experience and that's how i will write.</center>
<center>So i created my account and personalized it by putting a cover photo with my son and a profile pic of my own..i do believe it's the best way to choose for creating your own little place in the steemit community.</center>
<center>After this i didn't knew what i should do but i knew that steemit can help improve your life or/and your situation and can bring new experiences in your life only if you get involved in it and bring your own personal contribution to it. However, i am not a web designer or an app designer or a bot creator, musician, poet or any kind of artist who could show his work here and earn SBD or SP and gain many fans, i don't have money yet, to travel to beautiful places and share within steemit community, i have no place to cook so i could share some awesome recipies and pics while cooking **BUT** i had the motivation obviously, i know english pretty well, i had the time, i had the energy, i had the will and creativity..so next step i head towards the steemit chat web browser - which you can find on the right corner of your screen- and went to "general" section where i thought to get in touch with other steemians and get more inspired and so i did.</center>
<center>@guiltyparties was the first one to welcome me on steemit platform and on this way i am thanking you so much for your introduction and for the few tips you told me about this new "world" and presenting me the @shadowbot https://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/faq.php which helped a bit boosting my earnings and i want to thank @mykos aswell for being my friend and sharing so many tips and the most important tip was that he inspired me to write movie reviews at that time when i first started and didn't knew what to write about, although he just told me from his own experience and so i was inspired only by his own story:). This is another thing which makes steemit such a great environment for everybody, the disclosure and the transparency it has and each member has, for ex. you can check the blog of a steemian and if you access his/hers "wallet" section you can see his/hers activity on platform, what bots he/she used for boosting own post earnings and based on that, you can do your own research after, that`s how i did too to find many important things and a few of them even apply in my own case.</center>
<center>My posts still aren't earning as much as a whale post is earning for ex., but as i keep on posting more valuable posts, socialize more and comment to people's posts that i like and make new friends and followers, i know i will be on the right track:)..and thanks to God there are sooo many beautiful and useful posts you can make and through which you can bring your contribution to the community and create your own little part in it.</center>
<center>There are 3 different type of steemit levels on the platform: **Whales** ...well, they are the users with most Steem Power on Steemit with big upvote power, their vote could value from 100$ SBD to so much more but they also can calibrate their voting power from 0.1% power to 100% so either you have them as your friends or you either got to create really valuable posts to earn their upvote. Second type is represented by the Dolphins who are the members with medium amount of Steem power and their upvote power is around a few cents of SBD dollar to a full dollar. Third and last type are the minnows who are...well...if you read until at this point you must know what a minnow is:D ..you are a minnow and i'm a minnow too:), we have small steem power and as low as 0.01 SBD cents of voting power but we have a great potential.</center>
<center>My first movie review i made, i saw it made 3$ almost and i thought those were 3 real dollars but talking with my friend @mykos i found out that those were steem dollars not actual american dollars ( **LOL** )...i felt donky and figured out i don't know sooo many and still i keep on discovering daily new things and **boy** i was so **happy** seeing i am **actually creating online money:)** ( You can check how much an SBD or STEEM dollar is worth by accessing Bittrex platform). And the payout time came after 7 days and i was a bit disappointed seeing i received only aprox. 1.70$ and i couldn't understand why so i dig deeper to find out...and i found out that when the 7 days period ends, "about 30% (give or take) goes to curators, the people that helped vote you up"( thank you @neoxian for your correction), 50% goes to your SP-steem power and 50% goes to your SBD. You can use your SBD to withdraw or invest in bots to boost your post ( but be careful, the posts have to include good content otherwise you might get downvoted and so the profit you gain will be much lower even close to 0..and you need to be careful for mr. grumpy cat conditions too..he's watching all the posts on steemit and he flags down or downvotes heavily the posts which are not original, or just copy-pasted or has just a picture and no writings or just links..in other words low quality posts..and if you want to use the bots for creating a bit more profit for yourself and for your steem power as well, you need to check his conditions here: https://steemit.com/abuse/@grumpycat/non-gumpycompliant-vote-sellers-are-now-to-be-used-exclusively-to-profit-from-the-reward-pool    which say and i quote: "To know what voting bot to use when promoting legit content, refer to SteemBotTracker.com (by @yabapmatt) and only use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.").</center>
<center>If you have no clue what to write about i would suggest to just go and search by "contest" tag key on google or in steemit searching tab and find some really awesome writing contests organised by Dolphins or Whales.</center>
<center>A few days ago, i went on steemit chat to contact @suesa accordingly to my friend's advice and she was kind to discuss with me about how to improve my steemit blogging experience. She told me about the @steemstem where she currently is involved in and is one of the important creators and so i decided that here i will post many of my parapsychology posts which i will be creating in near future. You will sure like this community and if you plan to involve in it you better come with really useful and high valuable scientific content because there are real scientists who verify each post made using the "steemstem" tag.</center>
<center>Regarding contests, yesterday i spend 9 hours to create a post concerning date of 1 december 1918, hosted by @sndbox ( and i do hope to win at least 25% &#128522 ) Sndbox community contains high value historian professionals so if you plan to participate too in one of their contests you better create high quality posts aswell.</center>
<center>Of course there are many more out there, you just need to do your own research and find out:).</center>

<center>I want to thank to all steemit members who put effort in posting and offer inspiration to others and putting valuable information out there for each one to find and apply!</center>
<center>I plan on creating a **Whatsup** group ( and maybe a facebook and telegram group aswell) where to gather between 200- 500 members and WHALES and DOLPHINS are MOST welcomed, group made especially for **helping minnows** like me and promoting valuable content on steemit community. The group will have rules and will be run by at least 4 or 5 admins which will need to have a list of all the members and once an hour each day, they will post 4 links of the next coming on list members and this way, members who put efforts to create at least a single quality post per week will have the chance to receive 200-300-400 or even 500 upvotes. This would be a tremendous help for beginners and thanks to Steemit and the steemit App developers we can easily access hourly the steemit account and the whatsup group. You can find the group by typing in the whatsup search tab its' name: ""**SUNNYHETE-support group**""(its' name comes from Sunny and Helping Eachother To Earn). **Leave a comment if you want to be a part of it and i will contact you!** See you there and....</center>


<center>**KEEP ON STEEMING :)**</center>
