I remember when I first got started on Steemit, I was worried about a lot of things. I realised that I have not done an official intro about myself too! I actually went straight on posting up an article – about how I discovered Steemit.

During the early days, questions upon questions bombarded me and I believe some of you can relate to this too! These were just some of my questions back then:

How do I post?
How should I post?
What should I post?
How did others include visuals? Videos?
How do I bold or italic a sentence?
What’s a markdown?
Where to get markdowns?
How to power up Steem?
Why power up Steem?
Why are the upvotes value so little?
How do I cash out?
Lots more!

I recalled in those days, @bitrocker2020 would guide me whenever I texted him and if he has the time. Truly grateful for that! However depending on him for answers every day is not a good solution as he too have important matters to attend.

Over time, slowly I got to know more Steemians like @francesaw @coloringiship and it was then #teammalaysiababes got started so we ladies can all get in touch and exchange information and tips on Whatsapp! And then the chats evolved to sisterhood chats about food, trips, events and lots more!

Note: If you want to learn how to put your visuals side by side like the above, go to this LINK and copy the code, credit to @albertvhons.

Sure we have heard of discord, but at times the channel can be pretty busy that your questions got buried quickly and your big thumb have to sort of scroll up quickly.

Sometimes, whenever I didn’t know where to find the answers, I sought help from Uncle Google where I discovered tonnes of free information on Steemit.

I couldn’t agree more that one of the best ways to actually learn about Steemit is to learn from one another – one to one, hand holding.

However, not everyone has the time to sit next to us and show us how things work on Steemit. So you must do some homework first before you seek help.

For me personally, the MOST important part to seek one to one help is during the WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR FIRST SBD. This is to ensure that you execute the steps correctly because you need to actually open a few windows to do the transactions. It can be a little confusing if it's your first time.

Good basic info about Steem Wallet, Source

And since there are so many written articles of Howto’s out there, I thought it would also be good to post up video tutorials for newbies and even for not so newbies – to refresh their memories, like myself because I get forgetful sometimes.

Great thing about video is that you get to watch or listen to them over and over again, at your own free time.

However, IF YOU ARE TOTALLY NEW on Steemit, please (don't be lazy now) take some time to read the Steemit's FAQ HERE because it saves you time to actually look for basic informations that you need to know before you get started.

Me, burning the midnight oil to compile all these, lols! Apologies for the messy hair and the snacks for me to munch beside me.

So I decided to take a few hours these past three days scrolling and compiling videos (scroll above for blog link on how to put your visuals side by side) on Steemit that would be beneficial for new Steemians. I have listened to some of them and sharing them below. I do revisit these links again whenever I need a refresher.

Here are some of the links I managed to compile that could be useful for you too. There are lots more out there, but you will need to click one by one and listen to them.

My advice is to look for videos that are pretty current so the information is not too old. Also check on the comments left by the viewers because not all of these videos worth your time to watch. I am not about some of you, but I also prefer videos where the narrator has a clear voice, easy to understand English (less slang) and less background noise (less distraction). I find videos taken at a static place like office or room is better than a moving car.

Most of these videos are from top Steemians like @jerrybanfield, @brandonfrye, @terrybrock and I found a bonus video interview from our top Malaysian Steemian @kevinwong too (woohoo!)!

I found this link (see below) from @jerrybanfield to be one of the most comprehensive basic guide on Steemit tutorial. Do spend some time to watch them because the information he shared here is extremely useful for you as you spend your time on Steemit, growing your income and increasing your influence.
