We have all been to that situation: We are joining a new website and we know actually nothing about it at the beginning. Some of us may have signed-up on Steemit.com because of the rewards, and some us us joined Steemit because of the awesome community.
I see so many new post under the "intoduce yourself" category, as Steemit is a growing platform which is currently trending everywhere on Earth. Those new people who post under the "intoduce yourself" category are new to this platfrom, they know nothing about it and they really don't know how it works, unlike us. We are very familiar with how Steemit works.
Actually, it was very complicated to me to understand what the hell is Steem Power, Reputation on Steemit, and the main cryptocurrency, Steem. You may think that it's easy to understand what it is all about, but for new users, it may be really difficault to understand how this platform works.

So, what can we do about it?
We can be more useful than you think for those new registered users. When they post their introduction post, we should all be there for them. It is really important that they won't feel alone here. When we welcome those users warmly, especially users who have a high reputation score, it gives the new Steemers a feeling that they are wanted and welcomed to the family of Steemit. The new users will feel like they can ask questions everyone and they will feel more connected to everyone on this platform
I use to welcome warmly many new Steemians by the way.
So, what will you get from welcoming new Steemians?
It is actually more beneficial to you than it's beneficial to new Steemians.
When we welcome a new Steemer, it makes him feel impressed of your kindness, and he will probably visit your profile page, and follow you. This method can be really useful to gain new followers on Steemit. You may probably be thinking now: So what does it help me if they have only ~70 SP? Will they help me receive a higher payouts for my posts?
Well, the answer is very simple: At the beginning, they won't help you a lot to get a higher payout for your post. However, you have to remember that every Steemian on Steemit wants to become a whale. It means that every user here wants to have a lot of SP, Steem, and Reputation. Those "Unworthy" new Steemians may not increase your payout at the beginning, but after a few monthes, they may be some of your MOST IMPORTANT FOLLOWERS. They will remember your warm welcome from the beginning, so they will probably be your loyal followers.
In addition, those new Steemains help you a lot by upvoting many of your posts! WHY?
Because they don't follow many people usually, just a few. So there is a high chance that they will see many of your posts and upvote it. This will help you to gain Reputation more quickly than you think and you will level up faster!
So what should you do now?
Simply go to the INTRODUCE YOURSELF category, and start welcoming new users. This will help the community to become much better. Don't let those new Steemains feel like they are here alone!
I'm shouting out some awesome Steemians who use to welcome warmly many new Steemians, keep up the good work!
