They were the easy one but they said that the Steem token had issues and they would not exchange it any more. I sent them an email asking why they stopped carrying Steem and SBD. For now their is no super quick and easy way to transfer Fiat directly into Steem. So for a noob it will be tough to do. I easily exchange multiple cryptos for Steem and SBD now using Bittrex.
I tried poloniex again only to have my funds along with 1000's of other people stolen yet again. Never trust anyone suggesting you use Poloniex for Steem. They are scammers too.
