I realise now what a huge amount of information someone has to take in during their early days on Steemit!
It is my nature to want to help people and I really enjoyed helping a friend set up his account yesterday, here in Bali.
For the last three hours it has been a cousin of mine in the UK... sending all my advice through Skype messages, so that he can refer back to the conversation. Which he will need to!
I am really excited to finally have a family member with me on here on Steemit!
Please show your support for his first post: Robin the Runner
What have I learned from this experience?
Many things!
Steemit is complicated!
To teach someone takes many hours.
It must be overwhelming for a newcomer who knows nothing about Bitcoin, to suddenly take in all of this information.
Without our help newcomers will progress much slower.
Info pages to which I can refer them are very useful tools! Like this amazing steemit help site.
Why is it in my interest to help people?
These people will in time teach other people... and so it grows. As does the value of our beloved currency.
They will (hopefully!) become my followers and upvote my work.
They may be minnows now, but with my help they will rise quickly and in time their vote will be worth more.
The Steemit Day
It is my intention to hold a day of training here in Bali to help newcomers with all of this information.
I have been planning this day for some time, trying to build interest through word of mouth, as I would like to help as many people as possible. We have an amphitheatre here, so I would like to fill it :)
Having just helped two people in, I am a lot clearer now on the essential information and the best way in which to present it to them without their heads exploding.
So, onward and upward my friends.
I have a Steemit Day to plan...
Blessings to you all.
