Hello, dear stemians.
I wanted to make this publication to help new Steemit users understand a bit about how the platform works.
Taringa.net
What is Steemit:
Steemit.com is the social network that takes advantage of the potential of Blockchain technology to reward fair, decentralized, balanced and sustainable in the course of time to each of its users through its currency: Steem. A currency that is already in the market being quoted today at $ 2.07 USD for 1 Steem. Check the current value of the Steem by clicking here.
The amount of Steem criptromonedas existing in the market increases daily. One part is distributed to the miners who make the Blockchain transactions secure and the other part goes to each of its users as content generators.
Steemit is in beta, currently rewards your registration on the platform with Steem Power in your account so you spend it by voting for the content published and comments that help you understand an X topic or that you like.
The operation of Steemit is very simple. As a user, you have Steem Dollars and Steem Power. The first can be exchanged for physical money, virtual coins, sent to virtual wallets. For its part, the Steam Power will serve to vote the publications and comments of other users.
When you make a publication and begin to generate content in your Steemit account, users of the social network decide if they support your content with 1 vote and with this your publication generates a value. 50% of said value will be "consumable" money and the other 50% will be voting power. It is a way to encourage users to stay active on the platform.
When you publish a post, the readers of the community will have several options to do with your content in an interaction way, in the following way:
Upvote:
symbolizes a "Like" or "I like" with which your content acquires value.Flag:
symbolizes a "Dislike" or "I do not like" which is usually used for content considered as spam (fraud, plagiarism, hate speech, false news, etc.) within the platform. Its use means that the content does not acquire value and is less visible. (Its use is recommended exclusively for Spam content, its improper use lowers your reputation within the platform).Reply:
which is the option to comment on publications and answer comments.Resteem:
the option to share republicating the publications that are to our liking.By commenting on a post (post) of any user of the community you also generate money, because users of the community can also vote for your comments that add value to the topics you comment and thus increase your profits within the platform.
You can make your registration by username with which you will be known in the community and your email. You must have a mobile phone since you will need to provide it at the time of your registration. Once you confirm your phone number and your mail, Steemit will evaluate your user's approval and will notify you by email providing you with a unique random password for your account (you can not customize your password, they will always provide it to you). Well when it comes to passwords, Steemit has 7 rules which I detail below:
The first Steemit rule is: Do not lose your password.
The second Steemit rule is:Do not lose your password.
Steemit's third rule is: We can not recover your password.
The fourth rule:If you can remember the password, it is not safe.
The fifth rule: Use only passwords generated randomly.
The sixth rule:Do not tell anyone your password.
The seventh rule: Always back your password.
A very important point is that you must save your password in a safe place because in Steemit there is no button or option to recover passwords, so if you lose it by mistake there will be no way to recover it.
Once your account has been approved, you can customize your profile with information about yourself, address to a personal web page or your preference. You can also start generating content from the first day and start earning money.
You will have access to publications of interest through the tab located in the upper left with the names:
Home: random publications recently published by the people you follow (Your Feed).
New: new publications. They are sorted by publication time, the most recent appear first.
Hot: most popular publications of the moment.
Trending: most voted, commented and most valuable publications.
Promoted: publications promoted by users of the platform, supported with payments in Steem Dollar.
In the right part of the web you can segment your search by tags or tags. These tags will give you some ideas of what to start publishing. In principle I recommend the tags: spanish, steemit, steem, community. You can use only 5 tags in each publication written in lowercase and separated by spaces only. The idea is to use 5 of the tags that are located in the right panel of the page that are already created, this in order to boost your content within the platform and that this content is read by the users of the community.
I wait they have liked my publication! Kisses...
