Steem Power
You don't have to have steem power but if you do you can get more money on your posts and can give more money on other people posts. There are rankings on how much steem power you have, I am at #463.

Wallet
In your wallet you can see your tokens like your Steem, Steem Power, Steem Dollars, savings, and history. You can put in money/ take money out there.
How Steemit is organized
This is what Steemit should look like when you first log on.
There are five sections you can click at the top of the page. Home, new, trending, and promoted. When you start following people the home page fills up with their posts. You can now see the new posts that they made. The New section means The new posts that everyone uploaded, (you don't have to be following them to to there posts). Hot is the popular posts at the moment. Trending is the popular posts of the day. Promoted just mean that people promoted it with steem dollars, (the money they earned on Steemit).
When you click on your Blog, it displays your posts, beginning with most recent.
Posts shows you everything you have submitted.
Replies shows you any comments you have received from others.
How to create your first post
How do you create a post? When you at Home on Steemit, at the top right corner there is a button that says, "Submit a Story". If you click on that you should be at this:
After you get this far you need to create a post and submit it!
Getting Paid to Vote and Comment
This work includes voting on posts and it also includes commenting. You can get paid for making good comments, just as you can get paid for voting on them.
More about posting:
How to make words larger:
A hashtag is this: #
You can you 1 hashtag before a sentence to make it large
You use 2 hashtags to make it little smaller
You use 3 hashtags to make it even smaller
You use no hashtags to make it normal size. Like so:
Example: (Hashtag) Huge
Huge
Large
Medium
Normal
How to get Photos:
When find the picture on Google you want to post on Steemit, you click on it and it should say "View Image". Once you click on that you left click with you mouse and click, "Copy Image". You go back on your post and left click then click, "Paste". The image take 5 seconds to load then it should appear.
How to Italicize words
To Italicize words you'll need to put these stars around the sentence/word, * Hello *. (Make sure there's no spaces or it wont work, correct way -->) Hello
Good title/tags
You'll need a good title to make people interested in your posts. When you at Steemit, on the right you can see Tags and Topics, if you want you post to be popular you want to chose your topics from there.
Patience
If you don't make a lot of money on your first post, don't worry! It takes time to build a reputation. If you keep posting more and more you'll make more money from the posts.
Thanks for this post, I'm passing it to newbies.
However,
1 - you could mention about the "introduceyourself" post
2 - how to use the tags (categories).
Also, getting photo's on google is ok, but maybe they should credit the originator.
OR
Post their own photo's.
Right! Sorry I forgot to do the introduce yourself post. Thanks!
No problem, I like most of the rest of this good starter post.
I checked your blog, and see you are new, but you like STEEM. That's awesome!!
You also have not done a intro post. :-(
I will be making a pt.2 of this tomorrow, so tell me if you want me to add anything else into it! :D
You could include how to post your own photo's. But maybe most know how from FB. Otherwise, the Intro post and more info on the tags. Maybe tell about your icon in the upper right and the three lines and what options they give when clicked on.
Thank-you! Also I will be working on the intro post tonight and maybe uploading tomorrow or today :D
Oh wow! Let me be the first to congratulate you on an AWESOME guide for any new face here on Steemit. I have to agree that I will have to go through your guide again, since I'm also a newbie myself, with less than 30 minutes on here.
Keep it up, great work, looking forward to seeing more content from you - followed.
Best regards,
Life with Crypto
Thanks!
@oceancoinz Is there any chance that you could explain what I'm doing wrong with the #hashtag codes, for making the text larger? As it seems to not work, and instead makes the word after the # become a hyperlink. What is it that I'm doing wrong?
Nevermind. Figured it out :)) haha. Thank you again for the guide man!
No problem!
Thank you very much; this is super useful for a new user such as myself. I hope to use your hints to improve my posts!
No problem, I will be making a pt.2 of this tomorrow, so keep watch! :D
