By Zaw Myo Sat Welcome To Steemit New User Guide

in #help7 years ago (edited)

 One thing I noticed when joining Steemit three days ago is that information is hard to find on what Steem and Steemit actually is. Also there are many good tools and resources available but no one knows them. This post tries to adress 

that issue.So many new users ask themselves:  

 What is Steem and what is Steemit? 

Steemit is a social network, similar to https://www.reddit.com/ where you can post, comment and vote on content. But the twist is, you get Steem when others like your content. And Steem is worth money. Currently over a dollar. So unique content creators can earn money without the users having to pay for it.

 That sounds nice, but how do i get in? 

Steemithelp has a wonderful tutorial for this.

 Is Steemit the only way to view posts?

No, there are many other clients available. Some of the popular are listed here: 

.Esteem – Mobile Steem Client for iOS and Android

.Zappl – Soon to come twitter like client for Steem

 How do I get all the details on what happens?
