REPORTS FOR NEWBIES (BEGINNERS)🐟. [08/13/2017]
You will love it.
Introduction:
Steem Power (SP) is just steem locked up in a way to affect your voting power / payouts. The more you have in SP, the more you get from upvotes and also the more your are able to give out VIA an upvote. It is your POWER on the site. If you put Steem into SP, it takes 13 weeks of equal payments to exit SP back into regular Steem that you can sell on an exchange. Most people put everything into SP if they are long on the platform (like me). Continue to build up SP. Accumulate, accumulate, accumulate. Key to success.
Steem Dollars (SBD) are "Steem backed dollars" used to help assist with the economics of steem, it creates liquidity and also helps stabilize Steem value. People on here use SBD to pay for services like @randowhale and to tip people above and beyond an upvote for great content or great service to the Steem community.
STEEM is just STEEM. If you have STEEM, you have the actual blockchain asset this entire network is based upon. It's like owning a share in STEEM's future.

If you want more voting power, think long term. Instead of spending some SBD on a vote here and there, why not directly buy Steem and power up yourself? That way the investment stays entirely with you and lasts long term. I've been here over a year, so I can look back and see the benefits of consistent blogging and powering up. You can get STEEM & SBD from the following exchanges:
Bittrex is a popular crypto exchange for many altcoins and is also one of the few places where STEEM and SBD is being actively traded at the moment. By purchasing and transferring any of these two tokens to your steemit.com wallet you are able to convert them to STEEM POWER and by doing this to further increasing your influence on the website as well as earning more for your actions.

It is not safe. I discourage any use of poloniex. My experience says better we stay away from Poloniex.
There are some amazing third party applications that our community developers have created.
Top Apps:
| # | Author (Name) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | @good-karma (eSteem) | It is mobile and desktop application for Steem! eSteem is offering some of the unique features (Bookmarking, Post Drafts, Image upload/capture, Personal Gallery, Notifications, many more). I am a huge fan of eSteem app. For eSteem you can also check @good-karma |
| 2 | @steepshot (Steepshot) | A platform that rewards people for sharing their lifestyle and visual experience. You can use it to share cool pictures you've taken with your mobile phone, curate and comment photos your friends make and never worry that any third party will censor your images. |
Platform for Steem:
| # | Author (Website) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | @ekitcho (Busy.org) | Busy is a non-profit organisation offering open-source projects on Steem, which aims to bridge the gap between the old economy and a new economy giving value back to people. Their goal is to develop the best tools and strategy to bootstrap this thriving eco-system and to enable billions of people to take part in this revolution. They aim to connect everyone to the best social network platform that can bring value back to users in a peer-to-peer and decentralised way using the power of the Steem blockchain and cryptocurrencies. With Busy.org: Get your value back! and I think Busy.org is to be the "Facebook of Steemit". For busy.org you can also check @busy.org |
| 2 | @jesta (Chainbb.com) | ChainBB is a discussion forum style interface on the Steem blockchain. It uses many of the same mechanics that steemit.com uses, but presents the information in a much different way. All posts on the Steem blockchain are available via chainBB, just as they are on steemit.com. I think chainbb is a great forum to let people post their own post here. It provides a good platform for those who have similar interest to have discussions in the forum. |
| 3 | @zappl (Zappl.io) | Zappl claims to be the "Twitter of Steemit" and will create a decentralized micro-blogging platform built into the STEEM blockchaink. I think, It is a great way to give people a simple & easy spin on how SteemIt works. No need to create a very long blog. Just post a few words and give SteemIt a try! Looking really sweet! |
| 4 | @heimindanger (DTube) | DTube is an application fully written in javascript, that runs in the browser, that allows you to upload and watch videos on top of the IPFS Network. Moreover, it uses STEEM as a database and enables earning rewards from your uploads. Here's a post to get you started: Introducing DTube: a decentralized video platform using STEEM and IPFS by @heimindanger |

| 2 | @penguinpablo | Steem Now - A Very Good Steemit Tool. It nice and simply laid out and has some great features. It's a great and easy to use app one I use every single day! |
UPVOTE
Tip: If you are used to vote at 100%, make sure you lower your voting slider to 25%. At least if you vote more than 10 times a day.
Not a limited number of votes per day. Instead your voting power will drain faster if you use lots of 100% votes
