My First Day

Okay, I don't know what it is, but I don't know how to start this article off; beginner's fears maybe. But then again, I'm hardly a beginner as this is not my first experience writing online, but I guess one always needs time to adjust to a new environment. I'm not saying I'm a pro writer, of course, I'm still learning but I wouldn't expect to be struggling with an opening like this. Why is that?

Maybe my struggle is not about my writing abilities but my lack of knowledge on what qualifies as good quality content on here. While that should be kind of generic, the audience on each writing platform is usually not the same, and to succeed, one needs to know what his/her audience likes and find a way to connect that to what he/she loves to write.

So far, I've been trying to navigate around, to have a feel of this whole ecosystem or community; that's more appropriate, community works. So far, I can already see that this platform is quite diverse in terms of users as well as the content. Is it me, or are a lot of folks here are Filipinos and Nigerians? Okay, maybe I should drop my detective lens and focus on learning about how to succeed on this platform.

From what I've learned so far, I can see that interaction is an important theme here from the number of thumbs up and comments on articles I've read, and the earnings too, uuuuuhhh; seem juicy. From my interactions with a certain user, I have learnt that the guy who's the attention you're looking for is the green baby and that he's quite the random rewarding type. Well, I know myself to be full of God's grace and Favour, so I'm hopeful.

I plan to use the remaining part of this month to focus more on learning than on 'grinding'😅; seems like slang here. I'm catching on, I think. I hope I don't accidentally break any of the rules here, cos I would hate for my account to be banned. Although when I was creating the account, I was a bit sceptical, I think I'm more at peace now, knowing that I can write about anything. Of course, like a new bird, I'm going to be depending on the wisdom, expertise and kindness of those who have gone before me. I hope you guys would be kind enough to carry me on your backs until I can stand on my own. Was that a yes? That was a yes, right? Yeah. Thanks a lot, people for the promise to help out.

Conclusion

My experiences with other writing platforms in the past have taught me not to expect much as a beginner, but what can I say? A little optimism wouldn't kill anyone. As I ready myself for bed, I'm just imagining waking up to see that I already have the attention of the big boss; oh oh! oh!! That will be so huge. Anyways, I'm really glad to be here. I hope to enjoy it, all of it..
