60 Days on Steemt | Things I Learned

Learning how everything works on the Steemit platform by using the community has been a lot of fun these past 60 days. In a way it is very similar to the the video game Minecraft which was an immense success because the community was in a way the tutorial.

I've learned a lot of things the past 60 days and continue to learn more each day, here are some of the things...

Most important things when starting

There are some basic things you might want to know and understand when your are completely new on Steemit. Understanding the difference between STEEM | STEEM POWER | SBD can be confusing at first. Just take some time to look this up and fully understand it.

The one thing it took me a while to find out was the number below your steem Power. In order for your upvote to be worth something you need to have steem power. My current 586 Steem Power is worth about 0.07$ for a 100% upvote. The more you have the more the post earnings will go up when you upvote a post. The (+27.674) is the amount that is loaned out to new accounts so they start off with having a little bit voting power without owning that amount of STEEM. This amount can go up if you rent steem power from a service like @minnowbooster or go down if you delegate your own steem power for others to use.

Steemit Tools

Steemspectacles is a websites that shows you who your biggest supporters are. I try to do my best to keep track of this and give support back where I can. You can see where your own votes go out to on Votes info

I started to use steemvoter to automate my voting so the ones supporting me get automatic support back. You can keep track of new followers at Steem Followers. I try to have a regular look and visit each one of my new followers. The first number I look a is how many people they are following. if this is too high, I honestly don't bother unless they have really good content. I try to keep my voting power above 80% so my upvote is actually worth something and use Steemd to track this. Steem FTW can be used to track how long it takes to regain your voting power.

Sending Private Messages

You can send private messages on steemit by using # and a space in front of the message you send out...

Sending Public Message = typed message (everyone can read this)
Sending Private Message = # typed message (only receiver can read this)

Thanks to @twinner for this tip !

Making Posts Look Good

I've learned a since my start to make my posts look a lot better and more enjoyable to read. Some of the things and codes I picked up along the way are...

A good resolution for your first picture to have it fit in the feed thumbnail is 800x480 or 400x240.
You can make clickable links from pictures by using this code...
You can make tables if you leave a space above this simple code...
Date|BTC|Bet|Odds|Result
-|-|-|-|-
17/09/2017|0.010|Raiders -14|2.076|WON
17/09/2017|0.010|Chiefs -6|2.056|WON
17/09/2017|0.010|Buccaneers -7|2.076|WON
16/09/2017|0.010|Waasland +1|1.936|WON

Example how it will show:
