I believe it actually depends upon an individual's skill set...

If he's more into tech stuff mining is better but if he can write good content and contribute to the network, steemit is the far better option...

Of course it is! With traditional mining of crypto-currency a person would have to buy expensive equipment, learn how to use this equipment and maintain the maintenance on this expensive equipment. So, of course, earning Steem dollars is easier. Much easier. With Steem dollars, the only thing you have to do is be social. The same way you would be on Facebook, Instagram and any other social media platform.

Well first steem is a token, not a currency. Mining involved currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc. There is 2 way to mine, using your own computers or via cloud mining.

Both way require a large investment. If you chose to build your own mining rig, you'll have to buy everything and the cost of running these rigs can make your electricity bill explode.

Cloud mining on the other hands is easier. No material or electricity cost. You buy a contract for the hash power you want and the company will do the rest, mine for you.

For steemit i'm pretty new also but from what i can see if you want to make serious money you need to build yourself a good following. This is accomplished by posting quality stuff daily.

Good luck
