This is volume 1 of a new series, STEEMIT FOR DUMMIES

Read Below:

This infographic was made with the free tool, Piktochart. Go here to make your own: https://magic.piktochart.com/

There are always gray areas, but as a general rule, this infographic covers three areas: images, NSFW and posts. For example, if you write a post that references an image, say it's something that you need to show, if you link to the source, I believe this is acceptable. What's not acceptable is trying to pass off other people's work as your own and just posting image after image, mindlessly trying to rape the reward pool with work that you didn't even create. Steem was created so that we can mine it with our minds. When you steal images that you didn't make and try to gain from it, you are in fact not mining at all. You're stealing from another person.

If you are a Steemit newbie, and you're confused, please ask yourself this question:

Am I Trying To Exploit Someone Else's Work In Order To Make Profit For Myself?

If the answer to that question is yes, then, don't post it on Steemit. Create something yourself and post that instead.

In the next volume of STEEMIT FOR DUMMIES, I will show you how to make your own GIFs and MEMES.

There are so many ways to create stuff for Steemit, it is almost insane. I will teach you about all the tools I know are free, open source and creative commons.

In Steemit, your reputation is the most valuable asset you have.

Think about that for a second.

Carry on,
Stellabelle

[I include all sites, like busy.org, chainBB, eSteem, Golos, Steepshot in this information. Steemit is still the most popular website, so that's why I am focused on it.]
