I’ve been helping friends and loved ones open STEEM accounts. I created an account and funded a 
I created accounts for my mom and siblings and delegated a little SP to them to watch and upvote my stuff. I have a whole list of other people I want to do the same for. Your most faithful audience just might be those that you bring onto the platform yourself! If you have the full trust of who you are creating the account for, then why not?
It's easy. Just go to Steemworld, scroll down to the tools for your account, buy an account ticket for 3 STEEM (or RCs if you’re a bawler)...
...and generate their account.
From there you could delegate 20 or so SP, buy them a Steem Monsters starter pack, etc. to get started. After that point you could show them how to download and log into Partiko, how to log into Steemit or Busy, etc.
After they get comfortable interfacing with the platform, you can help them dig into more advanced topics like powering up, delegation, etc. At the initial level, why make it any more complicated than simply signing up for a new media platform?
