The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps
View this post on Hive: The Ultimate Guide for Steemit Beginners: Money, Posts, Design, Topics, Bots, Behaviour, Community and Apps
I have moved all my content away from the now centralized and controlled Steem blockchain to the decentralized Hive blockchain.
Thank you so much for this comprehensive guide. I am bookmarking this and will follow your advice! I have one question: In the SBD section, you say "You can always convert SBD to Steem, buy or sell it on the internal market or - and that is in my opinion the best choice - trade it on the market into Steem Power. This way you help the platform, you get a higher influence and you get actually more for each SBD than by converting it directly." To clarify, are you saying that in your opinion the best choice is do sell the SBD on an external market ( like Bittrex for example), then buy Steem and convert it to Steem Power? Thanks again!
No, I don't mean an external market. I am talking about the internal market: https://steemit.com/market
Here you will get more for each SBD than when you just click "convert". I don't quite understand why. It seems that for converting a different exchange rate is being used. Maybe someone who is reading this and has a clue can answer that better. But I am pretty sure that this is the case. Try it yourself to compare.
Thanks for clarifying!

GOOD I did not get that (been trying to sell.... waited waited ... canceled.. put another bid.. waited... waited... ) just wanted a quicky and there you have it, thank You
Wow. I can't keep myself from posting my second comment. The first one was to express my happiness that this post was written and would help a lot of newbies like me. Now I've read the whole text. I'm so impressed that wow is literally all I could say looking at your final photo with THE END written on the sand. I've learnt a lot and I will come back on this page again and again for links and useful information. I finally understood about upvoting system. I can't even imagine how many time it took you to collect all this information and to organise it in that simple way. Great work really. After your post I'm certainly going to start using animations, yours look great. You know, I started following you thanks to your puppet in your comment, I just couldn't resist, so that works!! 😄 Well, my comment turned into a letter✍️ All I wanted to say is just wow&thanks.
Haha, that's great that like my post so much and even better that you were among those I put my banner on, particular because I don't do that anymore. So good stuff, keep on Steeming.

Haha, look at you: Your post was so good that even @Gentlebot came by and upvoted you. That only happens once an hour on the entire platform for the best reply. And since it is using a deep learning algorithm it probably knows what it is doing. Congratulations!
This is me after reading your message😄
Even if I didn't mean to do something commercial writing my comment, it's a pleasant surprise. Thank you @flawy & thank you @gentlebot!

Thanks so much for this post, I really needed it. I've only been here a few days and while I have really been enjoying it I've also found a few things a little confusing. Your article cleared a lot of things up for me. Again Thanks!
Perfect, that makes me happy.
Wow, this is the best Steemit Tutorial I have ever read! I guess that was a lot of work. I wish I had that 3 weeks ago when I joined. I had to research that for myself. But I still found new information. Thanks a lot!
Yea, right? That was the reason why I wrote it because I wish I would have had that in my first days.

This is a very useful and well thought out post! I applaud you for bringing this to the community. I feel every new user should give this post a read (or atleast something like it.) You brought some invaluable information to the table!
Thank you, that was my intention. I am very happy that it is being recognized as such.

Thanks for that. It's great. I've bookmarked it as well. There is a question that I'm sure everyone new wonders about and which wasn't answered: What is the number besides each ones' name? I mean the 25 next to my name and the 51 next to yours.
Oh yeah, good question. That is the reputation. It goes up with upvotes and down with downvotes. When it drops below 0 posts previews will not show its content like all adult posts. But I am not sure about that.
I have also a question about the apps that you mention. They require your password when you open them. How do I know my password won't end up in the app's creator hands since these apps are third party, outside of steemit? Also, I can't seem to be able to sign in with chat. I got to the point where they ask me to verify the email they sent me but I received no emails.
So far I have never used my key for anything and all apps work for me. I have seen that you can use your posting key to post directly on ChainBB. But with that they cannot empty your account. Also, one of my links is an incription service for your keys, so you can prevent any third party app to steal it. But I haven't tested it yet.

Never mind my question about chat: I managed to get in using another email. Thank you.

Never mind my question. I just found the answer in the starter guide in the menu. I'm so new here!
@flauwy You, my friend are a life saver! This is hands down the most useful post I have seen thus far in through my first week in Steemit, and one I will most DEFINITELY use to explain Steemit to new users and help them achieve their goals as well. What you're doing here is great for the community of minnows and I'm thrilled to see someone break down the ropes of Steemit in a manner so clear, and concise that we can use this as a reference to always come back to. Sharing your experiences and knowledge with others throughout Steemit helps the whole community grow nonetheless.
I appreciate you taking the time to break it down for us once again, so that's a reseteem from me ✊️.

Awesome, I really appreciate your kind words. When I thought about writing this post I had on mind to bring the greatest value to the platform I could. And even though I am a memory coach and write great memory tutorials, I though that I would have needed such a post in the beginning. It would have saved me so much time. So I am glad to give that to the community because I know how hard it is when you just arrive and everything is learning by doing.
From one FD to another!

Thanks man. Especially for your proof reading!

Lots of great info here. The paradox I'm running into after a little over a week on here is that I feel like I should stop posting anything until I have more followers to actually see what I post, but in order to get more followers, I need to keep posting new content.
Anyone have any advice when it seems like I'm "wasting" good content because no one is even seeing it since I'm so new?
Would re-posting my own content down the road once I have a larger following be frowned upon?
Very good question! I had the same concerns. I posted some of my best memory articles in the first days. Check out my latest Major System post with the 85 cover image. It is more effort than this post here. Much text and even entirely self-made images. I guess what you could do is to work towards your best articles. Post every day one or more articles that are valuable but don't give away everything. And then you bring out your best stuff in a month from now for example. By then you surely have gathered many hundreds more followers. And then concentrate on commenting for the rest of the time. Make a mix of greeting newcomers and search for all your hobbies and interests. Make sure you sort by date to find still running posts where you can earn. (Although I made my point clear about the timeless content, but it is what it is for now).
