# Think **fast**: You’re stranded in the blockchain with more people joining in and no easy ride in sight.

**Locate** your Niche early: Time is the most precious commodity here so don't waste it.

 Start your journey  with an awesome **introduction** and sustain the chat. Building starts in day one and never stops.

 Build **relationships** : As in the (not so real) world relations are helpful. It is not what you know it is who you know.

 **Navigate** around the #steemuniverse and find and contribute useful content.

 **Identify** Potential contents and try to make your living on the smalls. The **"New"** section is your place to be. Separate the content you can benefit from those that will waste your time. And don’t take any chances if you’re uncertain but follow the women; you can always count on them.

Navigate by **Day**. Don't waste nights sleepless at all. You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow.

 Follow the **herd** & maximize your visibility . It’s not about quality , it’s about 15 seconds of attention; that’s about all you’ve got when you feel schools of dolphins & whales and are out of sight. You can talk quantum next year.

 Navigate by night and use this time to **reflect** some quality content early. 

Good luck. Just my 2cents.
