@Mountainwashere's Guide for New Users:
Welcome to Steemit! It's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. The biggest secret to success? Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments.
Tagging is extremely important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general (so long as it's still relevant) to fill the quota if you need to- most of your tags should be established ones, though one or two less used ones are fine.
Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so you should try to post often.
Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be a photo of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.
There are a lot of really good resources out there for plankton and minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources:
@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group that can help out in a lot of ways.)
@qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.)
@steembasicincome (Another lifetime upvote option.)
@steemstem (The biggest and best STEM curation group in the game. If you're interested in writing or reading about science, check these guys out!)
@geopolis (A fairly new science curation group, this one's dedicated to the study of the Earth.)
@ocd (A curation group that seeks out undervalued new writers.)
@photocontests (Runs contests for photographers, pretty self explanatory.)
Much of the activity on steemit actually takes place off Steemit, on places like steemit.chat and discord. Learning to use them is a great idea.
And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way to success through perseverance and hard work. It takes time, but you'll eventually succeed if you put in the work.
Please feel free to repost this guide on the posts of other plankton & minnows you run into (though I'd appreciate it if you credit me.) If it was useful to you, feel free to check out my posts and give me a follow!

Welcome to Steemit moretea. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! Welcome to the blockchain

Welcome, lots of old friends hanging around in here. But the site moves so fast its sometimes difficult to keep track of everyone.

Reading a lot here for some time now about how things work and yes keeping track of people and other things here is pretty complicated, no notifications to help with that, this strange bandwidth thing going on here, whales, witnesses, minnows, to use or to not use these bots, etc. One especcially annoying issue i have is a login problem across multiple browser windows ... is this a bug or do they want me to do everything in one window? ... puuuh ツ

Did you try busy.org? Seems to be a pretty good alternative to steemit.com ... much better designed site, notifications are working, no login stress across multiple windows.

Nope, surely not, but i have a lot of things runnin' around my head that need attention right now and i don't just want to post daily bs here. Sola is good for now for getting out some quick mobile shots from out on the road.

Something similar happened to me, really since March of 2017 here, but I started seriously in July of 2017, this is another story, nothing to do with what is known so far. @moretea

Pretty relaxed naming here, most say Steemians, but it's not written in stone, as far as I know. Lol! =^)

okidoki ツ stil doing a lot of reading here to figure out how things work and there are a few things already that are not really amusing to discover ... i.E. pretty comlicated and confusing interface/website to use and keeping track of things here, no notifications, bandwidth dropping for doing almost nothing ... hmm ...

Yes, it can be a bit daunting at first. There's a few good websites that are built on top of the Steemit blockchain, have a look at SteemNow.com and put your Username into the box where it says Settings.
This will load your Steemit details that are associated with your username. You will see the UpVotes and Daily Rewards that you get. Also the Curation awards that you get for sharing others posts, based on the previous seven days and the amount according to the post value and other details like your user account value.
You will understand when you look into it. My understanding is still basic, but as long as you are posting and receiving UpVotes and Sharing others content that you enjoyed, it will start making sense.
The site is run by @penguinpablo who does a great job of collating info about Steem, Steemit and other cryptocurrencies, look at the very bottom of the page and you can click the CoinMarkets.today website. This will give you an idea of where cryptos are in the top 50 coins/tokens.
Pablo also gives us a lot of info about what's happening daily in the crypto world and especially Steem.
The top of the page links to his page here on Steemit.
Like on Tsū, you are allocated a score according to how much value you produce here, Original Content is always the best! You know that from Tsū. 😎
Click on different items on SteemNow to see how they relate to your content.
There's another good site called Steemd.com which really goes into deep info about your account.
The blockchain is transparent, so all data related to your account is visible and available to look at.
You can see others info almost as much as your own, except for private things like passwords etc.
@woodywood143 knows much more than me and will probably be better to ask him questions that I don't know.
Like the best way to find others who you might want to share content from, big earning users and when to share.
He always helps me!
I hope that helps a bit.

Sola is like Instagram and it's monetised like Steemit.
A few of us that I know on there too. Are you on there too?
The site is based on the Etherium blockchain. They used to be known as Plaq. Eastern European team mostly I believe.

Yep, registered yesterday ... got it from @cloudexplorer ... another tsu veteran ツ and hey ... busy.org is by far the best interface i could find by now for the steemit blockchain ... it has pretty much everything you need, working notifications, no login stress across multiple browser windows and it looks pretty good!

Yes, #OriginalContent is king, i know for sure ツ i'll check out steemnow ... i know steemd already. There are a few other tools i found like steamitboard.com, busy.org, steemstats.com, steemtools.com, steemworld.org, etc. ... Hey thanx for the exhaustive advice ツ

No problem, glad to try and help. 😎
Just noticed you on Sola! Good deal, see ya there too mate!
Keep your eyes peeled for more image sites popping up in the coming months, they will be monietised with either Steem or Ether, places like Appics and dPixify are gonna get the light.
