💯Five Articles Every New Steemian Needs To Read!💯

These are the posts that I send to every person that I know or meet online who is just coming onto the Steem blockchain and needs some help figuring out.

Because let's be honest, this place is damn crazy when you first get on here.

Navigating your way through the entire system can be daunting so say the least.

I know for myself that it took a full month for me to finally realize all of this stuff.

And even today, a few months later, I still learn a new thing every single day.

So without further ado,

I present to you :

The 5 articles every new steemian needs to read!

To get the hang of our blockchain called Steem!

HEHE, I LIKE RHYMING!
