You're more than welcome.
SteemIt has indeed a very steep learning curve. One of the reasons so many people give up before they even got started. I really struggled for months trying to grasp the entire mechanism. And once I finally got the basics down, there was the hard fork last september. Suddenly, Resource Credits were introduced, the curation system changed...
Fortunately, i had been able to build network of people who are better when it comes to understanding all the technical things, so I could ask them to explain it to me like they would do to a 6year old, lol.

My first three months, I had been flying solo. If I wouldn't have been picked up by a couple of people who had just started a brand new community and asked me to join, I
Probably would have left before I discovered how unique the entire SteemIt community is.

There are so many things wrong with tbe SteemIt site, the system and the company in charge, but IMO, the 'pay it forward' mentality that lives among the members makes up for all the flaws.
I used to be in internet marketing, so I have been working on numerous social media platforms before, but I've never come across anything that even comes close.

If you would have told me 2 years ago that I would engage with people from all around the world on a daily basis, and would consider complete strangers whom I never met to be good friends, I would have never believed you. But it happened. It was definitely worth all the frustration and confusion I exprrienced during my first weeks/months.

I can really say joining Steemit has changed my life. I learned so.much about a lot of different things, but especially about myself... which I think is priceless.

Don't worry to.much about the complex mechanisms too much. One step at a time you'll learn how things work. And there are always people around who are willing to help out when it feels like you're lost in a jungle during nighttime :0)
