Let's help members understand how Steemit works

    Hello Steemers, I am really glad to join this community and it was like a mind blowing to me to discover such an amazing platform where people can share their ideas and thoughts and might even get paid for it, what an incredible breathtaking idea !!!   

I know that if someone wants to get benefits of something, he needs first to master it and this is exactly what i am missing on steemit, and can bet that many here are same like me (Newbies). So I would like to ask you to provide help by making some posts or videos in which you explain how exactly the system works, and how we can make money from it .  

I am writing at this moment and  I wonder at the same time if there will be someone there to read my post eventhough , I would be so glad if my post readers (If there will be any) will interact and provide us with the necessary steps that new comers are in need of to understand quickly how this amazing system works. 

Here are some questions that I came up with while surfing Steemit which, the community and I as well, would be glad if you share your knowledge and help us get answers for them or at least one of them if possible:   

Does a member need to have steems inside his wallet so that he can make a profit from posting ?  

If a member makes a comment is he going to make profit ?   

If a member makes a comment is on a post, will the post’s writer make profit?  

When a member who does not own steems hits the button upvote, is he going to make profit ?  

 What is the advantage of owning steems in one’s wallet ?  

 Finally, I woul be glad if you participate in answering at least one of the above questions if not in a post then in a simple comment. I am quite sure that any kind of answer coming from you will somehow have a value in it that might help Steemit users understand more their role in the system and being themselves useful in the future. 

Thank you so much for having time to read my post.  

Looking forward to reading every single comment of yours.
