The Welcome Wagon is here! Help for new Steemians!
It steems like you need a little help here!
Introducing the Welcome Wagon
Mission: To seek out and "circle our wagons" around Steemit newcomers, providing them with support, mentorship and a "crash course" designed to help them succeed on Steemit and strengthen the platform.
Steemit Crash Course includes:
- Easy-to-follow, updated guides to Steemit (yes the white paper exists, but these break it down on a simpler level)
- Helpful "Under 180" tutorial videos (most people would rather learn visually. We will try to accomodate - and we'll try to keep the lessons under 180 seconds!)
- Quiz (a one-on-one session with mentor to identify any remaining weak areas of Steemit knowledge.)
- "Peer"ship (not intended to be a daily mentorship - but rather, a go-to person to ask for help)
- Helpful tips and para-Steemit programs (the little tricks of the trade that we've all picked up along the way)
- Growing directory of communities (We don't want to form another new community. Why reinvent the wheel? There are already fantastic communities in place - let's just point them in the direction of communities that appeal to their individual goals and interests.)
- Incentives (Let's face it. Rewards are tantalizing! However, our rewards will be less financial, and more supportive in providing the chance for them to establish themselves on Steemit. Instead of giving handouts that quickly lose their effectiveness, our desire is to give them the opportunity to show their commitment to making an impact on Steemit. Stronger Steemians mean a stronger Steemit! We will utilize things like resteems, shout-out Saturdays, features, comments and follows to give them a larger platform to make their voice heard. We encourage THEM to take our small boosts to springboard into their own sphere of influence. Though the Welcome Wagon initiative will reserve the right to reward selective financial rewards to exceptional newcomers, individual members of the initiative may use their own personal accounts to reward as they deem fit.)
WE ALREADY HAVE OUR FIRST "UNDER 180" VIDEO READY TO GO! CHECK BACK SOON FOR UNDER 180- LESSON 1: STEEMIT MANNERS

Thanks for reading! We're starting out small, so we are limited in how many people we can help! But we hope that as we grow, we will bring more like-minded Steemians to "circle their wagons" around MORE new Steemians. We believe that's the key to keeping Steemit growing and flourishing! ~@dreemsteem

Muchas gracias! A medida que crecemos, esperamos poder llegar a más comunidades que hablan otros idiomas.

Great initiative, everyone! So glad to see this coming to fruition. Yes, starting on Steemit can be tough, and there is so much to learn. I hope this helps newcomers feel more comfortable as they start swimming in the Steemit sea, and find communities to help them stay here. Resteemed!
Thanks so much @katrina-ariel!!!! I really do hope it helps too! As long as we can get them plugged into great communities (and I know of a few EXCELLENT ones hehehe) then I think we'll be doing a great service to them!!!! I so appreciate your resteem!!!! :) Talk soon, friend!
