Part 1
"What are these sounds, over there?" - Alice asked, nodding at the very secluded thickets of some pretty vegetation on the edge of the garden.
"And these are miracles," the Cheshire Cat explained indifferently.
"And .. And what are they doing there?" - Asked the girl, inevitably blushing.
"As well as it is necessary," the Cat yawned. - Happening ...
Stim is a social network where everyone can receive a reward. It looks like a wonderland, right? I'm not suggesting that you take my word for it, just try to figure it out for yourself. Perhaps miracles exist? ;)
10 years ago, free video calls around the world seemed fantastic. "It's impossible!" - that's how I thought when I first heard about it. Today, millions of people use Skype, and the free transfer of video between the continents has become something ordinary.
Collectively generated by users, the content created billions of dollars to the shareholders of social networks, such as VKontakte, Facebook and Twitter. Team Stimit has changed the approach to profit-making in social networks, distributing it among all active users. You too can be a part of this process.
"Why would I go to the abnormal?" Alice babbled. "I'll ... I'd rather not go to them ..."
"You see, it can not be avoided anyway," said the Cat, "because we are all crazy. I'm not normal. You're crazy…
- And why do you know that I'm crazy? Asked Alice.
"Because you're here," the Cat said simply, "otherwise you would not have come here."
Let's start?
This step-by-step guide will help you understand how Steemit works - the first social network where you pay money for likes, posts and comments. After reading the first part you will be able to publish the first post, and to the latter, most likely, you will believe in miracles and smiling speaking cats)))
If you have not seen Steemit's site yet, then do it now. The site is still focused on the English-speaking audience, so most successful content is now being created in English. This is both bad and good at the same time. It's bad because with a weak level of knowledge of the language, like me, you have to strain. This is not funny for you in VK to watch)) But there are advantages - you are one of the first users on the platform and can easily take your niche here. And besides, it's a great motivation to finally learn the language;)
Visit the sections Trending and Popular, pay attention to the authors' rewards for their posts. Most of the people I showed this were a little surprised
What the fuck? Is it real? Who generally votes for all this de!% / * \ O? And who pays for it? Wow! Yes, I schA also start to post seals and mow the spade with a shovel! Fire! Have driven! Where should I harvest?
Quietly, to start using Steemit is not more difficult than any social network, but let's get everything in order. To start a little statistics about Steemit.
check in
To get started, you need to register. If you have not already done so, then it's about time.
How to create Steem account from
User Steemit can perform in 4 main roles: Author, Curator (the one who likes / votes for posts), Commentator and Investor. In this part, we briefly review each role, and in the next we return to this in more detail.
Curator
To vote and put laika is the simplest activity on Stimit. In addition, 25% of the reward for the post is distributed among people who vote for it.
To begin with, you will be satisfied with several recommendations when voting:
Do not vote a lot. Landmark 20-50 votes a day. Frequent voting reduces the strength of your voice and, as a consequence, the amount of your possible reward;
Vote for good articles, which in the future can gain a lot of votes;
The earlier you vote, the more will be your reward. The first voters receive more than the last.
Commentator
Commenting is one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money for a beginner. I have met comments that have collected more than $ 2000 of awards. For example, under this post at once several comments scored 100, 200 and more than 500 $.
In the right part of the screen are popular tags, use them to view topics in which you are an expert. Entering into the discussion, try to expand the topic, creating additional value. Attentive readers will award you with votes. The Active section will help you find the most discussed posts at the moment.
Author
Anyone can try himself as an author on Steemit. You can publish any content - photos, videos, texts. Possible formats of blogging are limited only by your imagination. Any format can become a potential hit.
The best idea to start is the publication of the post IntroduceYourself. At us so it is accepted. Tell me about yourself and attach a couple of photos for the post. This guide will help you write a good post IntroduceYourself. It's in English, but you'll easily understand the essence. In the browsers Google Chrome and Yandex browser built-in automatic translators, which you can use.

To see the posts of other participants, you can use the hashtag #introduceyourself or # ru-introduceyourself for posts in Russian.
Distribution of rewards
If you explain in a simple way, every day Steemit has a budget, which is distributed to all participants of the system. This budget Steemit forms by printing its own STEEM crypto currency. In the next part, we will detail the whole mechanism: who and why this currency is needed and how real money appears in the system. In the meantime, look at the simplified scheme for a clear explanation of the mechanism for allocating remuneration.
How to create a post
Immediately after registration you can publish your first post. The post editor is convenient, but in the beginning it may take a little help. You need to go to the "Submit a Story" button, where the editor opens.
To insert a video, simply copy the link. To insert a picture, upload it to any file sharing service (for example this one). And then paste into the text of the editor Steemit a direct link to the picture. When published, he will replace it with an image.
If you have any questions about the design of posts, then use these recommendations.

Investor
The first investors in Steemit have already increased their capital more than 20 times. However, do not rush. Before investing, we recommend that you understand how Steemit is structured. We will discuss this in detail in the next part and after that you will be able to make a measured decision.
What's next?
Any adventure should start from something ... it's trite, but even here it's true ...
In the next part, you'll find out how the Steemit mechanism works: how and why it works, what Steem Power, Steem and Steem Dollar are, who gets it and why it's better to be a whale than plankton.
Then we will talk in detail about how the reward is distributed between the authors and the curators. We will tell you how to effectively vote for posts and comment.
In the fourth part, we will take a closer look at the topic of writing posts and give references to the recommendations of successful authors on Steemit.
After the fifth part, you will find the real power of the Jedi and get to know Zen;)
