get a Steemit t-shirt! :) Great conversation starter. I got mine on Amazon. No better way to start the conversation than by someone asking "What's Steemit?"

I have some shirts I made up and am making 100 more right now.

about the wait times for their account to be approved.

I have been funding people's account with enough Steem to get started so they don't have to wait. Youcan do this through https://anon.steem.network

I have felt very blessed to have had the #teamaustralia community there to guide me through my first month of Steemit use.

They have helped me a lot with @openmic and inspired me to start #teammexico

Help people understand the value of leaving their earnings in Steemit and creating more influence on the site.

I built my account from the ground up and teach people how to do the same. It's fun to see people's accounts grow.

You seem to have a good idea of how to approach people about Steemit and I can vouch that all these tips work. I use them myself.

Great post @benleemusic. Glad I'm following you.
