Do not waste your time on Facebook, become Steemian!

Yes, exactly! Every jerk is becoming smaller jerk on Steemit or just leaving the community. You do not have much chances to succeed on Steemit if you are not friendly, patient or just nice. You will learn how to criticize in good manner and improve your communication skills. Why? Because you are paid for that. Better content you create (post or comment) more money you make.

Which money are you talking about?

You receive rewards in tree currencies. Neither in dollars nor in euros. But in crypto-currencies called Steem (currently equal to 2$), Steem Dollar and Steem power. More information about them and far more you could find here in Steem white paper or on Steemithelp.net. In fact, you could find there everything related to Steemit.

Steem as the basic unit (crypto-currency token) is actually created (mined) by you/us voting for the content (post or comments) on Steemit. So you actually make the worth by clicking on your mouse, touch pad or screen of your smartphone. Again speaking, you vote for a post or comment and at the same time you create the value that did not exist before your click. This means that with your votes you contribute to the author's post with a financial value that is not even from your pocket. The others do the same to you.

Game or real altruism? From the minnow through the dolphin to the whale.

Without question it is a game. Game which plays with our altruistic behavior to satisfy each and everyone of the community except those who cheats – selfish users. By posting good stuff, sharing and voting for quality content you are achieving better reputation (your account raise in its value as well) which allows you to create more value on Steemit – means to pay more by your votes to other authors. That is why it is not an easy task to grow from minnow to whale! As newbie (minnow) you do not have much steem power and reputation to show the entire Steemit world you are actually there. But there is nothing easier than just to start. Register and write your introduction post and begin to comment and vote for stuff which interests you. Read all advices and guides available. You will definitely see plenty of it.

What Steem is good for? I need real money!

This is the most frequently asked question from my friends. How I am going to get the 'real' money from it? Is it not a scam? If you want to understand how to get your money in notes you should get the first kiss from block chain and bitcoin. Let me use the following two videos to introduce you both of them. But I can assure you, it is possible to change Steem into Dollars, Euros or any other currency pretty easy. Or you can just change it to Bitcoin which could be used to pay with at several places around the world.

What is the difference between Facebook and Steemit?

Steemit is transparent, Facebook isn't. If you want to be really seen on Facebook you have to pay to Zuckerberk. You are paid being seen on Steemit. And far more...

Why I like it so much?

It brings me back to the altruism game. People are force to be altruistic. So they could generate more revenue. There are just uncountless opportunities how to get more information from experienced whales, dolphins as minnows as well. Once you register and become Steemian you will soon encounter really helpful projects how to grow faster - meaning to reach attention of other Steemians easier and gain quicker more money. I have been here so far 2 weeks generated over 300$ (the last day more than half of it) and got over 170 followers. It is just amazing. Anytime I post something, comment or ask I receive useful advice from many people. It make sense. More successful you are, more money you can share by voting to the others so therefor even to those who are actually helping you to develop faster. I purely love it!

We I decided to join Steemit?

I registered on Steemit not as an individual but as Kedjom-Keku association which aims to save Abongphen Highland Forest in Cameroon's village called Kedjom-Keku. I am using Steemit to spread around the message about the necessity to save our precious nature as well as great fundraising tool to get resources to help us to achieve our goal to save and restore at least 1,000 hectares of misty mountain forest by 2025.
