Do you want more influence and voting power but don't have the budget to purchase a lot of Steem Power? Simply visit https://dlease.io/market and **place an order to lease Steem Power** at a **fraction of the cost** of owning it!

Already have a lot of **idle Steem Power** and want to **earn good returns** ? **Visit** https://dlease.io/market and **delegate to open lease orders** of your choice to earn **double-digit APR returns**!

Hello and welcome to Steemit Laura, 

You are a Steemian now! And your first blog is online. Better late than never, and I'm sure one day we will say those were the very early days of Steemit, so congrats! Whats essential here is regular posting off good quality blogs.
So start writing ! Tell us about your life, passion, animals or your work.
That Will attract possible followers.
Do be carefull with your passwords, they are yours and yours only.
Look up the free Steemify app in the Appstore. 
Next to Steemify I use Steempeak to post.
You can also visit our discord server The Steem Terminal is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!
Or visit the @heyhaveyamet account( a coop with @xcountytravelers ) where we highlight newcomers.

Welcome to the Steem community @laurawilli!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider:
  1.   Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
	2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
  3.   The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4.   DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5.   ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.
  6.   ***An introduceyourself tag is used only once*** , and
  7.   Do ***Not*** open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:
