Hey all! If you are a veteran, grizzled, successful steemian: Read on. If not: definitely read on!

For all my fellow novice steemians out there--my hope is that this blog turns into some sort of chat room/conversation/roadmap to the steemit world. So be sure to resteem and upvote so this post reaches as many steemians as possible.

For all you steemians out there who consider yourself good at this, this is a chance to hopefully give back to the steemit community and at the very least, provide me (a novice steemian) with some advice on how to gain some traction on the site.

So please comment away with questions, advice, or anything steemit related. Any and all knowledge shared will be much appreciated.

Here are some of my questions to get the conversation started:

1. What is the best way to get more views on your posts if your following isn't significant?
2. What genre of posts would you say the steemit community is most responsive to? (i.e. photo-dominant posts, educational, inspirational, provocative, etc.)
3. Besides posting strong content, what are some tricks that can help posts gain traction and attention?
4. Is joining steemit communities outside of steemit.com (i.e. steemit.chat) important to having a successful account?
