Good day my fellow steemian. Am glad to share my classroom report with everyone. I want to appreciate every person that took his time to attend even when they were already existing steemians. The likes of @greatness96, @everydayjoy, @amjadsherif and one other. I appreciate you again….

My free steemit classroom was intended to introduce steemit in a way that will both interest and encourage new comers to sign up on steemit. And my goal was achieved. Although reasons best known to these new steemians, they failed to mention that they got to know about steemit through this class. Example @valor111.

What is steemit

Steemit is a decentralized blockchain-based social media that pays its members with its official currency called STEEM, for publishing their contents on the platform. So, instead of posting to social media, such as Facebook that cash in on ad revenue, you can post to steemit and even get paid for it.

"DECENTRALIZED" in the sense that power is not concentrated on a single authority as in POW. Steemit uses the DPoS consensus mechanism in which the block chain is run by some set of persons called witness who were voted for by steemians to validate blocks On the network

What to do after you sign up on steemit.

The first thing you should do as a new steemian is to save your master key/password. steemit cannot retrieve it for you if you lose it. Now what is this master key/password? The first key or password that is given to you after sign up is your master password and you should keep it in a secure place.

You should not use your master password to always login your steemit account, use your posting key instead.

Making a post on steemit will be very easy and beautiful if you can read and understand this post. Achievement 4 applying markdown You just input your title, make your write up and format it as readable and beautiful as possible. Then you put your tags. By default, your post-payments are set to 50% SP and 50%SBD. With it, you can earn both SBDs and steem in equal proportion

Some basic markdown skill

*text* is to italicized a text

**text** is to bold a text.

The three tokens on steemit

On the steemit blockchain, there are three tokens namely; steem, steem power(sp), and steem dollar (sbd)

STEEM

steem is the main cryptocurrency on the steemit blockchain. You can earn steem by posting and commenting on steemit.com. steemit creates new coins daily. You can withdraw or deposit steem at any time. you can also buy steem via an exchange like Binance, poloniex e.t.c

STEEM POWER (SP)

The steem power represents how much influence you have on the platform. The more SP you have, the more power/influence you have. Earnings are directly related to steem power that’s why it is an important aspect of the steemit blockchain. 50% of a post about is in SP.
Steem power is regarded as a long-term investment. So it is not exchangeable In any exchange. You can either “power up” to increase your steem power or “power down” your SP to get more steem which you can then exchange for another coin.

STEEM DOLLARS (SBD)

If you would permit me, I will say that Steem dollar is the more stable token on the steemit blockchain, It is intended to be valued 1:1 with the US dollar. 50% of a posted payout is in SBDs.

Adding tags to a post

The tags you should add to your post should be related to what you are publishing because tags are like categorizing a post so that like minds or interest with such tags can easily find them. You cannot be posting about crypto and be putting a tag related to wildlife. Your post is visible under the tags you add to your post. Note: you can be asked to use some specific tag if you are writing on a contest or a task.

Use them so the curators can easily find your post. If you continuously used a wrong tag on your post after being warned by the steemit community, you might be downvoted. To know more about tags read this beautiful post [how to put tags on a post](https://steemit.com/hive-172186/@cryptokannon/how-to-put-tags-on-your-steemit-post)

How to earn more steem

You earn more steem as a CONTENT CREATOR, COMMENTING AND PARTICIPATING IN A CONTEST or PERFORMING TASKS; these are the major ways you can earn more steem.

CONTENT CREATOR: when you publish a quality and creative content, you will get upvotes from the steemit voting accounts eg booming accts. Which after payout, you can convert your SBD to steem.

COMMENTING: another way of earning more steem. Just like making a post, comments payout are set to 50% sp and 50%sbd so you will still get sbd to convert to steem through comments. Note: making a short comments like nice post!, I love it, and so on will not earn you upvotes. But making a comment relevant to the topic being discussed can earn you upvote from users and probably the steemit team.

Tasks And Contest!!! When you perform some certain task eg homework, you can earn steem as rewards or get upvotes which will give you SBD and which you can convert to steem. Most contest in steemit pays their winners and sometimes their participants with steem as reward for participating or winning in a contest.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: when you vote someone, you earn a percentage from that post payout, and that percentage is calculated with your steem power voting weight. Example there are two accounts, one with a 100sp and another with 600sp. If they both vote a post, the one with the higher stempower and voting weight stays first in the list. And they will gain more percent of that post payout.

There is what is called authors and curators. Authors are the owner or publisher of the content while curators are the people that upvoted and resteemed the authors content. So the post payout is divided into two, where by the author takes half and the curators share the other half

NOTE: all post payout and comment payout are in a space of 7days. Which means every post have a period of 7days to get voted before it’s voting window (within 7 days) pass. After 7 days any upvote will go back to the voting pool I guess.

do not go about begging for upvotes and tagging accounts unnecessarily, it not a good character to cultivate.

How import your trx to your tronlink pro wallet

Download the tronlink app from playstore and import your steemit tron wallet to it.

You first copy the private key you downloaded when opening your steemit account or scan the private key to your tronlink wallet.
