Hello newbies! Yes, this is for you guys. I'm making this blog as your guide aside from Bitlanders' tour guides when you registered here, Micky The Slanted Salerno and Hillary Summers. But I would like to share first my journey in Bitlanders.
Me as a Newbie
Just like you, I was curious about this social media that will pay you just by posting anything under the sun. Unlike in other social media sites like Facebook and twitter, they don't pay us by posting anything there. So I tried to check this site and asked for help from other Filipino members who joined here first.
I registered here late October 2014, through Gmail. I'm a member here for a year already. During that time, there's no free gems yet upon registering on this site and no leaderboards yet. We have no idea how to increase scores as fast as this time. All of us keeps on buzzing and visiting and posting only. It's really hard for us to reach BTC0.025 or almost $10 during my first 2 months here that is equivalent to P400+ pesos during that time and It took me more than a month before I hit the Redeem button.
Later on, they introduced GEMS that can be used in buying avatar accessories, improving buzz scores and many more. Then on December 2014, there's a limited item added in the shop, the Christmas costume set with rewards when you purchase them. I didn't care about it not until I saw the results to other members, where buzz scores increased a lot, I was like "OMG! those sets are Buzz score boosters!" But I wasn't able to buy a set because it's only until December 28,2014. I have no enough BTC yet before. That's the start for the buzz scores to increase, buying the Christmas set. Next is the Heart Balloon followed by the Cricket sets, then Chinese costumes, Easter bunny set, Bitcharity T-shirts and many more.

Leaderboard was introduced here on February 2015. It is a chart of members ranked according to buzz scores (highest-lowest). I'm happy because the first time it came out here, Rank 1 - Rank 5 were all from Philippines. Rank 1 - Jean Beltran, 2 - Ako-eto, 3 - Manny the Movie Guy, 4 - Migi and I was at Rank 5 that time. As you can see, sis Jean's score is so high even before. She inspires us a lot and keep on posting many tips.

Submitting high quality contents will boost up your buzz scores. When you submit blogs for review, don't plagiarize/ copy paste a paragraph from any site in internet. If you did, expect that your blog will not be reviewed and no refund of gems. Getting information from one author to another author is not copying, It's a research. Before submitting check your blog if it's plagiarized or has common phrases used in other sites. I use Plagiarism Checker. Check these rules as your guide for submitting high quality contents.
Copying exactly a whole paragraph from a site is Plagiarizing that will show result of 0% Unique in red color.
Check this.
Check your content if it's plagiarized or has common phrases from other blogs. If you have common phrases from other sites, it will turn red. Common phrases is normal unless uniqueness is below 50%. You need to rephrase them.
