People Like Me!
Finally made it to 100 followers.
As many of you know, this was my goal for the weekend. It was one of thosw milestones that stuck out since starting this platform.
Since I am not normally great with social media... I usually hang back and do art while letting others be the voice or face of the operation.... I wasn't sure how long 100 would take me. It is cool to know that with time and dedication you can build things slowly.
What I Have Learned Along the Way
So far in this Steem journey has taught me a number of things. I'd like to take a minute and share a few things that I have learned and give shout outs to the people and tools that have helped me along the way. Hopefully, I can pass along some knowlege to other new users and it will help them!

Plan before you post. I don't know how many times that a post has taken me all day because i have a plan, i sit down to do it and then get distracted. Prepare an outline, set a schedule and get in a mindset tgat blogs are also work. This process alobe has allowed me to slowly become more productive.
Beware of shit posts, bits and filler accounts. These accpunts, when followed will fill your feed with needless stories and you'll get lost in the mix. To get the most informative posts, follow people with something to say that resonates with you. You need not follow for follow.
Invite friends. Posting with people helps to keep your own conversation going.
When in doubt, check out. Not feeling like you have anything to say? That's ok! You don't have to post daily and offer a new piece before youre ready. It is better to have quality.
Comnent if you can't post. Like all relationships, time investments are needed in order to build and establish connections. Make sure to check in on posters that you like in order to keep up to date and so they remember your posts.
Take the time to understand the crypto world. If youre new to all of this, you may not be so sure about how the financials work. It is smart to research and learn. Not only do you getvpaid thisvway but it really is the future of money. Get in there and get ahead of the curve.
