Steemit Useful Tips
I am new to Steemit, and like many users, I am still learning the platform and how it works. The main concept is that Steemit operates on the Blockchain. This is a new concept being introduced into the social media platform. Steemit is similar in many ways to Reddit. The major difference though is that Steemit rewards it users for posting, commenting and voting. So my question is, why keep putting money into the pocket of big corporations such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook? They use and rely on user generated posts to gain their earnings. With Steemit, you are rewarding yourself for well thought out and intelligent posts! What a brilliant idea.
| "In 2014, Reddit hypothesized that its
| platform would be improved if everyone who contributed to reddit.com by posting stories, adding
| comments or voting were rewarded with a fair share in Reddit, Inc"
Reddit was definitely on to something in 2014. Now this concept is a reality.
This quote from Steemits white-pages helped me understand better what Steemits vision is.
|"Steem aims to support social media and online communities by returning much of its value to the people who provide
|valuable contributions by rewarding them with cryptocurrency, and through this process create a currency that is able
|to reach a broad market, including people who have yet to participate in any cryptocurrency economy".
The Steem community provides the following services to its members:
- A source of curated news and commentary.
- A means to get high quality answers to personalized questions.
- A stable cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar.
- Free payments.
- Jobs providing above services to other members.

Really nice and informative post!
It was very helpful to me, since I'm a new user as well.
I have a question, after receiving rewards, how long does it take until you can claim them?
Hey thank you for commenting. When can I claim my rewards?
Answer: "Posts and comments remain active for 7 days. When the period is over, you are able to claim their earned rewards. In your Wallet, click the Claim Rewards button to add the tokens to your account".
Stay blessed
