After months of development...Hours of recorded training videos...And amazing feedback from the community...SteemSavvy is live!
Along with @blainjones we're excited to announce that SteemSavvy is ready to rock and help bring STEEM to the world :)
What is SteemSavvy?
In a nutshell, it's what a lot of us WISHED we had when we first joined STEEM. Yes, this blockchain is one of the most vibrant and active communities online but it's confusing! And if we're going to get better adoption and more use cases, things need to be 'simple' for people.
"SteemSavvy is designed to help the new Steemian jump on board with confidence and grow every day in the blockchain."
We have laid out this training site into bite sized chunks of information. Short, easy to understand lessons that attempt to make clear the often confusing side of the STEEM blockchain. Currently there are 4 modules in the training with multiple lessons in each designed to help members learn STEEM and grow their accounts every day.
(Example of the STEEM Basics module...Each lesson has to be completed before the user moves onto the next lesson. Drip-fed training has been a model I have used in my off-chain businesses for years and it helps keep users engaged and learning at their own pace)
(Another example of a training module...This is for the dApps of STEEM. Obviously, this will grow and new lessons will be added consistently.)
Why SteemSavvy?
Like I mentioned above, I created SteemSavvy because I remember how confusing this was when I first got started. I understood the potential of it and even read the white paper and blue paper numerous times...But heck, just trying to figure out what SteemPower was versus SBD was a challenge.
"So SteemSavvy is born out of a desire to help new Steemians become familiar with the blockchain without overwhelming them."
Yes, there are tons of more in depth training services out there. And lots of really smart Steemians have created numerous articles about this blockchain and how to start creating on it...But I wanted to create something for 'the rest of us'....
The people that LOVE social media and the potential to network and grow our personal brands...But also those that are curious about crypto and the entire blockchain arena...But don't have PHd's in computer science.
And there's a lot of us out there :)
(The 'Savvy Cycle'...Which encourages members to add value every day, share STEEM everywhere they go and power up for the long term!)
Does It Cost Anything To Join?
Absolutely not! And here's why there will never be a single charge ever at SteemSavvy. Because the information we present in the training is out there already. If people wanna find it, they can. Plus I believe that having a platform like SteemSavvy that encourages Steemians to grow in the blockchain long term, we end up ALL winning in the future.
I love STEEM!
Like it's a borderline obsession....(Ask the people closet to me lol)
And I haven't felt more passionately about any project I've been involved in for years...So this is my way to add value. Even if it doesn't become a massive success, if we can help just a handful of Steemians grow on this platform...It's a win!
So How Do You Plan To Keep People Learning?
Not only is the site broken up into easy to follow lessons that people can complete in a few minutes each, it encourages ACTION!
Not just reading or watching a lesson, but we encourage people to roll up their sleeves and get to work. We encourage building relationships within the vibrant communities that populate STEEM already! And learning by doing is how we retain most information out there, so this plays a big part in SteemSavvy...
I believe that this is not a 'spectator sport', but that STEEM is a contact sport! Meaning we need to do the work. Make the contacts. Create the relationships...Not just sit on the sidelines and expect the world to cater to us. SteemSavvy focuses BIG time on relationships!
We also have some gamification elements that should keep people engaged and excited to be on their journey...
Yup, badges!
And while badges are nothing new on this platform or online for that matter, we think when people ACHIEVE certain rewards for taking action daily..It's get them into the habit of continuous learning and of course, adding value to STEEM!
And that's what all this really comes down to...
Training new Steemians to add value and grow their accounts on the blockchain!
So What Happens Next?
I would LOVE for you to join SteemSavvy! And after you do, poke around and see the content we've created so far. After that, I would love to welcome you to our Discord and hear your feedback on what you like, what you didn't and what you think we can improve upon with SteemSavvy!
And here's my plan going forward...
We're gearing up for more adoption here on STEEM. The projects that are being created here are amazing...From SteemMonsters to Partiko and everything in between...People WILL start paying attention to STEEM.
I will be waving the STEEM flag in niches that are very familiar including but not limited to my social media networks, mailing lists and off-chain businesses. I'm going all in on this stuff...And will be talking about STEEM everywhere I can and everywhere I go.
So with that...Enough talking...Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work...!!
I'm excited for SteemSavvy's future and look forward to hearing from you and any ideas that you may have to help current and future Steemians grow on this blockchain!

This will help so many people! What an awesome contribution to the Steemit community!

Is this for older members to as I've been here over 2 years and still not sure about it :)
absolutely. yeah i’ve been here 10 months and still consider myself fresh meat lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
You probably know 10 x more than me and I've been here 2 years LOL
Hell yeah! This is just the beginning of so much more to come and do.
I'm excited to see this come together and to have played a minor role along the way. Time to ROCK this!

yessir!! big things ahead :)

I wish i had this when I first started. This great for newbies and will help and guide them. Keep up the good work.
Posted using Partiko Android
you and me both lol thank you
Posted using Partiko iOS
My pleasure... it is well deserved... you all did an awesome job!

oh man. that was all @blainjones i’m just the geico gecko ;)

Now we have a single STEEM howto/faq repository to point newbies too! And because it's not just an old post on the blockchain itself you can regularly update it's content as needed.
You can still get STEEM rewards wile you post about the content updates on your blog too!
Hopefully at some point in the future the content will expand into stuff for advanced users, more technical and niche tools and the role of niche communities like #utopian-io ... but I'm getting ahead of myself! I'll go and check out how it works right now.
oh absolutely. i mean utopian is next level. and for the smartest kids in the class. so i chose to leave that for someone a lot more knowledgeable than me.
i’m most definitely not the smartest kid in the class lol
but for sure. this program will adapt and the content will stay fresh and up to date. ya add more advanced features as yours truly learns more lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Amazing...
Yes, this is what I needed when I first got onto Steem. Obviously I've worked it out, 12 months on, and hung in there.
But a great idea and awesome work for making it happen!!
thanks. and yeah even i figured it out. or so far lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Really excellent!! Every tool helps keep the newbies on the platform. Great work.
thanks very much. appreciate the comments and yup. i hope it helps new steemians for years to come :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
I wish there had been something like this around when I joined the platform a year ago! LOL! Great job and a fabulous project! Bravo!
thanks very much for the kind words. and thanks for having me last night. it was fun!
Posted using Partiko iOS
This looks like exactly what I need, and definitely what I needed 6 months ago when I first joined! So I headed over there, watched the promo, and signed up. But I haven't received the official email (it's been over a half hour). So tomorrow I'll check again and see if I can get signed up. Wonderful that it is free!
hey. so sorry about that. you should be able to log in though right now with the password you chose. please let me know if you are still having issues tomorrow. welcome to steem savvy :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
I tried to log on just now with no success. Then thought I'll just start over but got the message that my email was already registered. So I'm halfway there!
In the log in it asked for my user name but I hadn't chosen one yet, so maybe that is the glitch? I haven't received an email, maybe that's when I'd choose a user name?
I'm sure we can work this out!
Edited to add - Fixed it! The email ended up in my spam folder. But now I'm logged in, thank you!
oh ok. thanks for letting me know. i’ll get that looked into. glad to hear you got in though.

I have now watched the intro and the first lesson. I'm excited to continue! But one thing that would help me would to know how long each video is before I start it. There isn't a time bar on the videos I watched, and while that would be helpful too, perhaps the length could be shown beside each lesson?
interesting suggestion. i’ll see what we can do. i’ll tell you think though. no video is longer than 10 minutes. most are between 5-8
Posted using Partiko iOS
I was thinking along the lines of YouTube, knowing what I was getting into before I clicked on a video. But I don't know how much trouble it would be to do that for your videos.
But I can go with the 10 min or less to calculate whether I have time to listen to a whole lesson.
Thanks!
for sure. i’m playing with some settings in youtube to see what i can do. but i personally have the attention span of a goldfish lol so i like videos short and to the point :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
I have now watched 4 of the lessons and I see the lengths are shown! Very nice, Thank You!
Now another observation - I don't see a way to pause them. My husband came in while I was watching one, he had a question for me. No way to pause, no way to back it up, nothing to show how much longer it would be. Again, I don't know how the technology works or if it's possible to add these features, just saying it would help.
(I did click on the 'watch later' icon but that seems to be a whole 'nother thing.)
In the password lesson it says it will talk about password recovery. That's something I'm interested in. The next videos seem to cover different topics than passwords?
Wow, this looks great guys! Yes, as @karenb54 said this would be good for old members too lol
appreciated :) yeah i mean it’ll help newer steemians out a ton. but experienced users i’m sure will find value too. at least i hope they will lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
I meant to ask is there a website for all this?
absolutely www.steemsavvy.com :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
Thanks!
thanks for that little reminder. i put a link at the end of the post for future readers :)

I love this, even before trying it out!
Resteeming so that I dont forget 😁
thanks very much :) let me know if you have any questions at all.

This sounds great. Awesome job 😉 so good to all the new users 🙂🙏🏻
thanks sergio. appreciate it sir.
Posted using Partiko iOS
You are welcome. always a pleasure :D
Awesome Jon to see it live and people excited about SteemSavvy! I'll write about it no doubt. Also resteemed it.
appreciate that man. thanks for all the support too dude. it means a lot.
Posted using Partiko iOS
This is awesome mate. Well done for creating such a fantastic resource for new people.
It's also fantastic to see that you're providing this for free, as it should be. It always angers me when I see people selling courses to people who want to get started on this platform (I'm looking at you @joeparys). No one should pay to learn how to use Steemit.
Keep up the great work!
yeah that’s his thing. and he has very useful information. his approach may be different but i just wanna give back and help this entire blockchain grow.
then down the road. we all benefit. i think that’s a future everyone on steem would enjoy!
Posted using Partiko iOS
This is a fantastic initiative! Wish this had been around when I signed up to Steem, but I'm thrilled to see it happening now. :)
thanks for the kind words and yup. you and me both lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Steemsavvy is great project for all member of steemit to learn the casual way how to evolve on blockchain steem. I have been on steemit for 8months but I still need to get some explainations on way things work. Thank you @jongolson and your team.
Peace

yessir. everything is pretty good so far. some great suggestions and i’m always going to look to improve it over time.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Nice one, exactly what everyone needs, even if they don't think they need it.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Star rating from me. 👍
thank you sir. appreciate that :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
Das finde ich eine super tolle Idee. Das werd ich mir jetzt erst einmal anschauen.
Klasse Arbeit 👏 schätz ich sehr!
Do I need to register an account or use my Steem account and password to log in?
it’s a separate account for now. would love to integrate steemconnect with it but it’s way above my pay grade lol but once you log in there is a place to stick your steem username in it :)
Posted using Partiko iOS
I think this just passed up sliced bread on the list of the next best thing! You nailed it with the training... something people can pickup and walk them through how to use STEEM! Now let’s spread the word so others can enjoy this amazing blockchain!
appreciated sir. and thanks for all your help and support getting this ready!
