This is more than just another guide! You should read it!
If you haven’t read my first guide and you're new to Steem, then I recommend you go take a look at it before continuing this one. (The ultimate guide to Steemit). I won’t re-list what I’ve list there. You might also want to take a look at the prequel here.

Both of my guide have been well received and they have receive a lot of positive comments from new users and also experimented users and are still getting upvoted.
I’ve spend many hundreds of hours learning about Bitcoin and now Steemit, more than a 1000 hours, actually for both combine. I’m not exaggerating and I’ve invested more than 100 hours learning about Steemit and that’s on the very low end of the estimate.
2 days ago, my best paid Steemit post was ranked 43th of the best paid post of the very young history of Steemit.
This follow up on the ultimate guide can help everyone, to better understand Steemit, but also to better market it.
Steemwatch
Everyone would gain a lot by using Steemwatch. This is the best tool I know, to be up to date on what is happening on Steemit. I might be wrong and I’ll be happy to read it in the comment.
It take some time to really set it right but this is well worth it. Its helping me get some good curation rewards, most of them would have been impossible for me to get otherwise.
How to use it
Go to Steemwatch.com, log in with Facebook, and then begin adding your favorite writers to the list of people you want to be notified when they post.
Steemwhales
Steemwhales.com is very useful for all sort of things! Use steemwhales.com to help you decide who you should add to get notified when they post. Rank people by post reward to see who the best paid writers are.
Add notification, to see who the top Steem Power holders are voting for. This help knowing what is happening on Steemit, what are the important post, what the legends are upvoting.
Add your name to be notify, whenever your name is mentioned, so that you know what is being said about you and decide whether or not to intervene.
Steem autovote bot
ANNOUNCE: - STEEMBOTS.COM Your Source For Everything Bot Related! - NOW HIRING
Big news: @wang's robot is fall in love, she is voting on every posts of @xiaohui
Autovote bot
Get one if you have the time to learn how to set up one, but don’t get all worked up if you don’t have one. I don’t have one and the persons who have been getting the biggest curation rewards don’t either and even those who use one I’d be surprise if they get most of their curation rewards from their bots.
Steemit.com is now Open Source
Steemit.com is now open source. This is big news! This is huge news! I couldn't pass that one up!

Due to me too lazy to read white paper so here i go reading this again lol
Haha! I love this comment. The whitepaper is awesome though. It's my bible., after maybe this.
What Dan Larimer is saying on the link I've just provided is one of the most profound thing I've ever heard if not the most and I can see Steemit might have the possibility to fulfill Dan's vision of a much better world and maybe even beyond that!
People tend to know everything in whatever they used or purchased , they always agree to FAQ .
I hope no satanist agreement in there ,
Sell your soul to hell .please tick if you
Yes im agree .
Ps# i always agree to whatever in long read trust me :p
Hoooooray! Saves me a lot of time researching. This really is the biggest and best guide so far going to be copying this link to quite a few people instead of answering questions ;)
I think we are at the beginning of something great and I'm excited to be here now, to see where this platform takes us.

:)
[Mistake - Edited]
I just chose that name not thinking really much. That wasn't intentional.
Also I'm not sure @winstonwolfe is right. I think he is wrong. I almost include his post in this guide. Dan reply to that post saying that if edits are content as new post it was a bug but never gave any followup on this.
I'm not editing the post for that reason anyway. I've seen a couple erro like the typo in the title. Jeez! I'd love to correct those couple errors.
[Mistake - Edited]
Mistake, but we still don't know do edits affect payout.
This has to be one of the most comprehensive guides I've seen yet! Good work, thanks for working on this for everyone, especially the newer Steemians
Thank you! These comments are worth a lot!

Wow, you got to the TOP 10 Trending posts on Steemit almost immediately :)
I had to add your article to the Flipboard Steemit Trending Magazine for everyone to see it. Nicely done!
Thank you!
Thank you for a great post. :D
I'm glad you liked that one also!
This is great! what is there is new and useful information to me so thank you very much and I hope to see your continued success!
Hey! Thank you for the encouragement! See you around!
Naturally, I would have hoped you would add my My Account Got Hacked Makeup Tutorial in the funny section.......
It was dramatic. The h*** thing, I don't even want to mention it.
Awesome guide!
To show that Steemit is better than Reddit, we also have to note that your post is not only trending, but you also didn't get eviscerated despite a spelling mistake in the title. Or was that on purpose?
Jesus-Christ! I corrected it but didn't recopy paste the title. I'm scared to change it right now because of the fact we don't know if edit count as new post. Thanks for point it out. There's also another mistake with the first than which is suppose to be then.
Okay most of the "how to steems" suck and are repetitive but yours is actually pretty fresh. I'm going to check out some of the darker links. :)
Cheers,
@coinz
There's only premium link in this. I'm glad you liked it!
We must write The STEEMIT Contitution!
Haha! Well the whitepaper kind of was but is outdated. Watch my first coment up there. The link I've provided. Your mind will be blown.!
Steemwatch seems to be down, btw.
It happens. Steemwatchocalypse. It's that badly needed for me.
What a fantastic article! Thank you for your useful guide. No brainer upvote!
Thank you! No brainer thank you! I love your comment!
Thanks for the article. I think I'll need to read it a couple of times to absorb all of the knowledge.
You might! There's a lot. Thank you for your comment!
Awesome list, bro! And yes - the open source is really HUGE news :)
What do I need to do, to get you to include my Android Widget for Steem in your list? I can't sing or dance, but I might consider putting on a bikini :p - Seriously, I am looking for people to help me improve the widget on Github, so being on your list might help to make it better.
Thank you! I would have include right now but I'm not sure if the edit count as new post so I not going to edit right now. I'll add it when I edit it. Thank you!
This is way better than the whitepaper, you deserve an hug other than the upvote.Really :3
Well it's a follow up of the whitepaper somehow I guess. Thank you!
As a noob this is very helpful, especially the advice on how to time your post for greatest effectiveness. Good job and thanks.
Thank you!
I was looking forward to getting these answers in a more fun way. Now I don't even have to ask him any questions. You have my gratitude.
I save that men's live. Awesome!
Then steemit-guide gonna have the series guide ;) maybe....
Maybe there will be a follow up who knows. It seems like Steemit is evolving so I'd tend to think so.
Great article! I have always enjoyed reading your guides and blogs! You're doing a good job of helping new Steemers!
Cheers!
Wow! Thank you! You have no idea!
fast development :)
It's insane. It's hard to keep up!
This is a great compilation of resources, thank you! Being able to quickly grab a link to help answer my questions is invaluable. While I have gone through Whitepaper, this is much more palatable and up-to-date. Much appreciated!
On a side note, I've been trying to find an answer to the "edit post" issue. Has Dan issued a response yet? I tuly hope edits don't count towards our daily post "limit". I'm one of those people...post then proofread.
Dan answered! I'm glad you're following the game! They don't count as edit! Have fun Steeming!
