New Users: How to make money on steemit

I came across this and i found it useful to be shared to my fellow new users so as to help us cope with the platform

BUILDING YOUR SP
Your SP is your steam power which earns you STEEM, as the power builds you earn more power which creates more so it is vital to build this. To do this It comes from getting involved and producing good articles, voting and commenting.

MORE CREATING, LESS VOTING
Voting can get you paid when your of a higher level, however for now its best just to be putting out material of useful content, if you don't know what to post about just think about things with value to others, guides, tutorials, tips, ideas! Interesting articles with information. Some run their account as a usual social network account but I would imagine unless your slightly famous or you don't do anything of interest this may take a while to get going.

DON'T BE LAZY!
The more you use the more you get, kind of like anything with life, the more energy and time you input the more you get! Steemit wont be the place you get rich of pictures, put some effort in and create something interesting and useful. Posts don't take long when your used to it, so just think before long you will be doing well!

COMMENT!
You can comment which can earn you little or a lot, it does depend on if the article does well and attracts lots of viewers but even so it will be building your SP slowly.

USE PHOTOS
Using photos helps break the text up and makes the article more attractive. At first if your not used to forum type websites it can be difficult but the easiest thing to do is upload your images to an online web host such as http://www.imgsafe.org and get the picture address from right clicking on the picture on the webpage. You then copy and paste this link into your post and boom! There you have it! Alternatively you can right click on pics from Google to put them into your article in the same method, be careful however for copyrights.

STAY ACTIVE
Try to keep consistent as with any social network this will ensure your building SP and earning from people voting your post! If you give up you'll never get there so try to post on a regular days of the week to make sure your putting content out.

AND REMEMBER! KEEP YOUR STEEM!
Keep your wallet growing and earn more and more! This way soon you will be able to just upvote and earn a lot of this! For now use my little tips and you should get off the ground pretty quick but remember just like a plane trying to take off it needs a lot of energy to get going! Full throttle until your at suitable climate to drop speed!

GOOOOOD LUCK
