Hello myindigoinsight! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:
- Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
- Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
- Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
- Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
- Have Fun and Enjoy!

Hello, I am a little confused, i only had 1 password when i set this account up???? Did i miss a step or something?
If you go into you Wallet > Permissions tab, you’ll find 4 Keys: Posting, Active, Owner, Memo.
These are what I believe is being referred to as the four “passwords.”
Also make sure that when you save them, that you save the PRIVATE ones, as these are the ones you’ll need to login. (Learnt that the hard way, by accidentally saving my wife’s public ones, and her getting completely locked out of her account when her main password went disappearing).
;-)
Thankyou! I will save them tonight. I did find something in the FAQ's but it's not overly clear, this has been really helpful. What is your wife's blog called? I've had a quick browse through your page and want to sit and read most of them. She must be interesting too!
