Steemit Tutorial Series for beginners #1 - Registering an Account and some FAQ

in #steemit8 years ago

1. Introduction and preview

In this tutorial series I would like to support new users to get started on steemit.com according to the current state of affairs.
I'm assuming that who found this article here, also knows what platform it is at steemit.com. If this is not the case, this Wikipedia article will help you.

The tutorial series begins compulsorily with the registration and some general questions. Then we will go over to the structure of the website. After that I will show you how to manage your personal profile and how to upload the profile picture and a cover image. It's a bit tricky. In connection we will get to know the wallet before it gets right to the point with the topic of security and the different keys (public keys and private keys).

But this is enough for now because too much information at once only cause confusion and are rather counterproductive.

2. Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer
Is Steemit free of charge? Yes it is.
Can I create multiple account? Yes
but only one account is for free.
Why do I have to specify my phone number? The phone number is used to identify and secure that only 1 free account per user can be created.

3. Let's start to creat an account on steemit.com

4 Steps to get your account!

the registration process is mostly similar to other popular websites.

1. First of all the user name will be asked. Of course, this may not be registered yet.
2. In step 2 the @-Mail address is needed. A confirmation email will be sent to you. The link inside the email must be called in the web browser.
3. Step 3 requires your mobile phone number to protect steemit against multiple free account creation.
4. To the mobile number specified in step 3, a 5-digit code is sent. The code must be entered on the Steemit website.



Now it is time to wait until the processing is completed. This can take between 1 and 7 days. Depending on how big the onslaught is right now. The processing is not automatic and therefore it takes some time. Usually the account should be confirmed after 1 or 2 days.

Once this is done, you will receive another @ -mail with a link inside to finally complete the registration process.


Welcome on steemit.com!

4. Always remember!

On the following page you will get your account password.

The password can not be restored after loss!!!
It is strongly recommended to keep the password secure, several times!
