Hey, man!

I'm also new on steem!

From what I gather there are a few ways to earn on the platform. From my understanding,
A) You can create helpful or entertaining content.
B) Make comments that are relevant to the posters post.
C) Curation points where you upvote a post that's popular and you get curation points(although affected by certain factors like steem power etc.)

I read all this online and also some help from friends. As a noobie i'm also learning and trying to get the hang of it all.

To any more experienced Steemer please feel free to jump and correct me or add in anything I may have left out.

Hope this helps :)
