Hi Everyone!
I am new here (Post #2!) and have been reading through all of the wonderful tutorial posts here for the last several hours (special thanks to @hopehuggs and @valorforfreedom - you two rock it!), trying to get a handle on the best way to get started and truly be a contributor.
So I have come up with 5 questions that I would love to get the community's feedback on:
- How to Contribute: I've been earning a living online since 1992 - what areas are you still struggling with? I would love to be able to share my experiences (good and bad) but want to try to focus on the areas that people need help with.
- Apps: I've looked at the app repository, but at this stage of my 'newbieness', I am not sure which ones are really going to be helpful. I don't want to use anything that will be spammy, or get me off to a bad start with the community! So would love your recommendations!
- Now this one may seem silly but...what are Steemit members called? I have seen them referred to as Steemers, Steemians, Steemitians, and possibly a couple of other variations....what is correct or what is preferred?
- Length of posts: What's the best length for a tutorial style post? 500 words? 1000? If it's a long and detailed post, do you want to see it in one post or is it better to break it up in to multiple parts?
- Giveaways: I've seen some contests here already (really fun!) but what are the guidelines for giving away things like free reports or ebooks? I have several that I have written over the years, everything from dealing with toxic family members to adult coloring books, that I would love to share with the community. Is this okay to do?
