Hello Steemians!
Today is my 1st month here in Steemit. I've just joined the Steemit community last December 24, 2017, after my mentor 
I was just so excited, when my account was approved. I have full of positive vibes and optimistic feeling during my first day, so I immediately write an article about myself and how I made to be here. Until that very first post, which is my 'introduction post' gets lots of attention. I am so fortunate because there are some prominent and profound Steemians like 
This is my first post
My very first post gives me a huge positive impact. That $41 from Steemit is worth $130 or equivalent to 6,500 pesos, that was too much for just 1 article, that is why I tried to explore the site more deeper, but I became more curious about it, that is why I tried to seek more answer for those hanging questions that lies in my head, about how can I make a big progress, so I get back to the FAQ sections and carefully analyzed and reviewed it again.
After all of those search for my queries, I have learned and found out many useful and important terms about the Steemit community, that can surely helps a newbie. So, here are some of those.
- Upvote - it is the same as the like button in other social media site, but in Steemit, each upvote has a worth and the worth of each upvote can be determined by the amount of Steem Power of each user. Be wise in giving your upvote, make sure that the shared content is worthy to get your upvote.
- Resteem - is like a share button in other social media site, you can share a post when you really like the content, but don't abuse using the resteem button, because you are just going to spam the blog feeds of your follower, and there is a tendency that they will might going to be annoyed, so they will unfollow you.
- Steem Power (SP) - more SP means you add more value for the community, and the higher your upvote worth are, having more of it means people will more likely to engage with you. You can also lease or delegate SP from minnowbooster or blocktrades.
This is my current SP and my worth of upvote is only $0.09. Still few, but I will try to add more later.
- Steem and Steem Dollars (SBD) - it is your token in your account. Steem can use to power up your SP, while the SBD is the available money for your cashout.
- Voting Power (VP) - it is just like your account's energy bar for voting, if you use a 100% of voting weight, then it will consume 2% of the remaining VP. If you have less than 500 SP, then you can't adjust or reduce the percentage of your voting weight. You can check your remaining VP in the links below.
- Upvote BOT - is a whale Steemian account who offers an upvote service. Just transfer a minimum bid of SBD that they are asking, into their account, then put your shared content link in a memo, then they will return your bid for their upvote.
- Bandwidth limit (BW limit) - is the limit of bandwidth you can do within the site, each of your transactions like upvoting, resteeming, commenting, transferring of token and etc. consumes your accounts bandwidth, when you reach the 0% or drain your BW limit, you can't do anything about the site. All you need to do is to wait and it will going to be fixed automatically after few hours or you can also add more SP to increase your BW limit. You can check your BW limit in the links below.
I also found out some useful links that might help you too and I tried to compile it, so here are some of they.
