How to get started with "STEEMIT"?

Hello Everyone!
When i first heard about 'STEEMIT', i was really surprised to know that the site pays you just for posting and commenting. It was difficult for me to believe until my brother showed me 200$ dollars which he earned from a single post in just a week. It was then, that i did not waste a single minute for creating an account on steemit to start earning.

The purpose of this post is to create an understanding of different terms and to familiarize new steemians of this platform.
