You need to help him as new user, since steemit is a community and sharing place,

Also I am pretty sure dtube takes a cut to run there servers, im not sure how it works but I think it is like 25%

I've been on Steemit for about a week (Thanks by the way) and it is a hellava learning curve, just finding your account to follow, has been a bit frustrating, but im still at it, one thing that should be noted is that the app lacks a lot of the flexibility you get on a computer, but since it steemit, is a functional crypto platform and @trevonjb seems very enthusiastic about it i will give it the old college try, thanks

If you put in time, adding comments to content you like, posting stuff you like, resteeming and upvoting great content, you will rise in rep and earn a little something while your at it.

If you are enjoying it I strongly encourage powering up all steem for the first while or buying a little to get yourself started.

If you have steem power your votes award more rewards, and yes you can reward yourself ("self-vote"). So buying steempower is like mining crypto, but with the power of words and your time.

Good luck.

Thanks for the very informative post, am also new and the community in here helps alot.

Fyi its a little more complicated than I suggested but thats pretty much right. And thanks.

Side note: If your grandfather is stuck in the signup queue for too long, you can buy him an account using blocktrades. Costs ~5 Steem and gets delivered almost immediately.

that's so awesome, I'm glad your grandfathers mind is still sharp enough to use a computer, mine would be a nightmare to teach something like that to . :-)
