I wouldn't say an introduction post is mandatory, but it definitely can help you get some initial attention and a decent payout on your first post. Remember, the path to success here involves persistence and constant improvement. Rewards may fall off for a while. Don't be discouraged by that, though. Post and persevere! I'll delegate some Hive Power for a couple weeks to help you get started. This means you will have more resource credits to comment, vote, and post. The best way to build a good audience is to be a good audience for others, so create conversations!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I don't have all the answers, but I'm glad to help if I can.
