I Updated 'Steemit Tutorial' on My WordPress Blog. Please Visit & Give Feedback. Share to Promote Steemit!
It's good to be off Steemit for sometime. So, today I took time to login to my WordPress blog to update a post there. It seems like Steemit is permanent part of my life now because the only thing I update on my blog—other then WP version, theme, and plugins—is the Steemit tutorial. I posted it just three days after joining Steemit and it has since been the last post on my blog. I keep updating it to improve the quality
The new featured image—as it is called on WordPress—for the tutorial. How's it?
It's 9 PM here and the weekend is pretty much over. What I did this weekend were only three things; east, sleep, and Steemit (or update tutorial about it). The detail and accuracy required in educational posts means that I have to give a lot of time to each post. That is why I call it a big responsibility. The MinnowBooster tutorial and this WordPress post took more than sixteen hours combined. Other than creating and updating posts, I either slept or replied to hundreds of comments.
But when I see the feedback, the recognition, and the rewards, the time spent becomes a source of pride. The positive difference in lives, or at least Steemit life, of hundreds and thousands of people through my content becomes a source of inspiration for me. It all makes so much sense. Doing this is meaningful for me and I fucking love it!
What's common in all these posts?
So, I was talking about the Steemit tutorial that I have updated today. I wanted to update it because I have gained so much exposure and knowledge over time. I last updated in September 2017. Not that it was misleading or something but I wanted to improve the quality of content in there. Why? Mainly because it is the number one ranked Steemit tutorial in Google search.
Please search Steemit tutorial in Google and let me know what position my tutorial is.
Here are some improvements that I made in the blog post.
Changed the thumbnail image. Previous one was dull.
Updated the introduction paragraph to make facts accurate as per today's standings.
Added 2018 in the title because it makes things fresh. True too because I just updated it.
Updated the resources linked in the post to include my handpicked resources for newbies and detailed guides that I have been publishing.
Whatever I touch becomes lengthy. I wonder why. From 1700+ words, the length increased to 2250+ words. That's how thoroughly I have gone through this work.
Updated all images and instructions to make the post current.
Included some serious advice on what to do and what not to do on Steemit.
That's what I have done. What it really means that whenever people go to Google and search how to join Steemit or Steemit tutorial, they will find the updated and accurate information and guidance. And hey, I just finished updating the blog post again; this time updated to set all the links to open in new tab by default. Just tested them. All working fine.
The previous thumbnail image that I removed.
If you have been following me, you know I have been permanently disabled on my old account by Facebook. I have Steemit and I am thankful for having it. But if I had my 8k following peronal page still, I would have used Facebook ads to promote this Steemit tutorial and get Facebook users to see what real social interaction means.
With this post, my weekend comes to an end. It was a tiresome and rewarding time at the same time. I would have wasted my time on some stupid thing but it was used to educate my community here.
Again, I request you to please visit the Steemit tutorial on my personal blog and share it on your social media. Let's promote Seemit vigourously!
Steem on!
Great work. I see it as rank 5, but still, that's super impressive! Well done! The link to your tutorial should be fixed though because it's not https. Either that or fix your certificate because chrome throws a warning about it.
Lately, Google has been emphasizing SSL (which enables https) as a ranking factor. I had it earlier but Cloudfare got some issue so I removed the certificate. Seems like I need to enable https again. Ranking will improve with that I hope. I just updated today so Google bots will visit soon and give Google a report that Mr. Ilyas has spiced things a little lately. Hoping for a better rank in US and all over the world. You know it all perhaps.
Thank you so much for checking and the support as well.
Shows at rank 2 if I go incognito. Searched from India.
Wonderful work there.
P.S. I did leave a comment on your blog thanking you as yours is the blog that I have kept as ready reference to be sent to anyone in my circle who wants to know about this wonderful platform.
Steem On :)
First of all, thank you! That is exactly why I requested everyone to check. Different places, different results. But top two is one hell of thing in 1.5 billion strong India whose people are flocking to Steemit in coming months!
PS: I use Screenpresso to take screenshots of specific areas and can edit them with the inbuilt editor (like the one I shared in the post). Good tool if you are not using.
Yeah, rank 2 on Google is always great even if that comes from Zimbabwe :D
Thanks for the tip though, I will look into it for sure.
Hopefully people will join Steemit in 2018 in huge numbers.
thanks bro .
Just wanted to thank you for all the in-depth posts you have been doing on Steemit. I'm learning a ton from your latest Minnow Booster post and appreciate how you took a complex subject like that and dumbed it down for technophobe Steemians like myself...
I applaud you for even going back to WordPress after using Steemit LOL I'm trying my best to get back to my 'regular' blogs myself.
Anyways, I think your tutorials are fantastic! Great information and it puts it across in a simple to understand fashion. Which people like me, appreciate a ton!
I have published (and then updated) only one post since joining Steemit. Lol!
PS: Search Steempress on Steemit. Plugin which allows posting on Steem from WordPress (and on WP too at the same time). Good for us WP bloggers.
Yeah I saw those plugins and will take a deeper look for sure. I'm just so obsessed with this platform right now. Need to learn as much as I can :)
And could you please check Google to see where my post is in search results?
Number 3 for me, searched for 'Steemit tutorial'
Hope this helps.
It's not updated yet because I have added 2018 in the title. Google bots will pick it up soon. I have been told about 1 and 2 but I'll have to do more to rank all over the world lol. Three is still a big achievement!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic achievement for sure. Congrats on that!
Showing in top in Pakistan

Thank you @hikey. I have seen you engaging on my content a lot lately. Thank you for that. No need to send screenshot. No # 2 is Latvia is nice. It means that my tutorial is ranked worldwide in top 3 at least.
My best hope is that it helps the newcomers be great members of Steemit.
