thanks. I've been trying to write for newbies to help them when they first get in here. It's overwhelming. There are many layers, and it's both scary and complex in the beginning. I advise everyone to open accounts with Coinbase and simple bank first. Get that going, because it takes several days for the accounts to be active. Learn each step, and when you feel overwhelm, you'll need help. In order to get help though, you have to make friends. Friends love and support eachother. The real value of steemit is human.

Stellabelle this is great! If it weren't for all your posts on the CY Facebook group I would never have found this awesome new platform. I've been telling everyone about it! And because I'm about to bring over my community of chronic illness writers, I created a post that breaks down the whole system in simple terms and gives step by step instructions for writing your first post. Maybe your newbies will find it helpful as well: https://steemit.com/steemit/@mindover/steemit-for-dummies-like-me-everything-you-need-know-to-get-started
glad to hear about the illness writers arriving. we need the empaths.
Definitely. I was trying to think of a good way to relate it to healthy people. We mostly have the same struggles, just amplified exponentially. More fear. More anxiety. More adversity. You can learn a lot from the people who deal with issues like this and never give up.
@mindover, I am interested in your community of chronic illness writers. Are they people with chronic illness that also write or do they specifically write about chronic illness? I have COPD and Psoriatic Arthritis and would like to join.
Hey Pangur-ban. Well me personally, I have Meniere's disease and I also run several blogs. I have a community that has built up around those blogs (really followers). But I also have networked with a bunch of other people who are chronic illness bloggers. So it's not exactly a community of chronic illness writers, but a group of people who have chronic illnesses, who I'm encouraging to write about their experiences on Steemit. Hope that makes sense.
