I think another major issue newbies need to consider is the issue of

getting overwhelmed and not knowing what to do about or with the numerous resources.

As a newbie, i am privileged to be a member of Euronation and trust me that group has helped me get a standing here. but somehow for the life of me i just don't know how to harness the power this group holds.

This is what i think is the major challenge of most newbies.

The groups are there, on whatsapp, telegram, discord.....,etc. we join so many of them yet we are torn between getting attention in these groups and turning out contents regularly, with all these its easy to feel overwhelmed and just give up.

No one ever said it would be easy, and if you can succeed in steemit, you can succeed anywhere else, i guess thats all that matters
