This post from January 2018 contains many of our most relevant and useful tutorials for learning how to use Steem, building a following, promoting posts, becoming a witness, monetizing our creativity, and making Steem our primary source of income.

Stay Updated with Steem.guide!


steem.guide forwards to a new post each month on steemit.com featuring the most helpful Steem tutorials we have read and created. Will you help make this better by sharing links to the best guides you have found on Steem because we will include these in the next post?

Alternatively, access the Steem guides with the spreadsheet on Airtable at:

https://airtable.com/shrF00NW4Z99WZX50/tblxbDgjhjN2Lu1jZ

I have tried to organize this in the order I think will be most helpful to read and included summaries for every post instead of just loads of links. At currently about 8,000 words and a 40 minute read, I trust each of us to take what we need and leave the rest! With this being the second edition and already very long, I hope to include more guides by more authors in future updates with your help in the comments! Each section begins with a one sentence summary.

Steem Account Security


Executive summary: Keep the Steem password safe both from being lost and stolen while using the private posting and active keys to sign in.

Introducing 28 Days of Steem Basic Training! What Next After Account Approval? #1 As soon as we get our Steem account, we get a link to "steemit.com/start" with some custom characters for each of us. This will allow us to set up our password on Steemit. We will receive a password or have the ability to generate a password that is the master key to our account. From day one, the most important thing to do is build or use an existing system to keep the password safe and to start immediately the private posting key and active key to sign in instead of the password.

The Steemit Account Security Tutorial June 2017! Will you see the best ways to keep our Steemit accounts safe because until today I was not practicing these myself?

I Found $63,278 of Private Keys on Steemit.com in 10 Minutes! Will exchanges like Bittrex and Poloniex help warn users against sending a private key in a memo because Steem users are accidentally sharing the posting, active, and even master passwords out in the open almost every day with transfers from exchanges with no ability to undo the mistake outside of changing the master password?

A User's Guide to the Different Steem Keys or Passwords by @pfunk. "Steem has five different keys or passwords associated with accounts. Four of these are used with typical accounts and the fifth is used by witnesses. They are: owner, active, posting, memo, and signing keys. Each has its own set of functions and limits."

Steem Secrets


Executive summary: Go from beginner to advanced with these Steem secrets!

Steem Secret #1: Focus on Headlines and First Sentence! Half of upvoters only read the headline and the first sentence! Easiest way to get more upvotes? Spend extra time focusing on the title, and then the very first few characters which will appear in the home feed and anywhere else the post shows.

Steem Secret #2: Add a Consistent Image in Thumbnails! Putting our face or artwork on the first image helps readers in the home feed see us! Using stock images without any consistency makes it easy to be ignored in the home feed where we often just look at pictures, titles, and the first sentence to decide what to read!

Steem Secret #3: Power Up Posts When Steem Dollars Trade Below $1! Choosing the 50/50 post payout is best if SBD are trading for $1+ but Power Up 100% pays more if not! See the SBD value any time at http://www.steemdollar.com/sd_index.php which is created and maintained by @mauricemikkers.

Steem Secret #4: Bring Our Own Followers! Each of us has at least 100 potential followers in our lives from family, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, neighbors, business associates, and the contact lists in our phones! Signing up for a new Steem account and expecting people to discover us for the first time naturally while browsing is insane because most readers already have enough authors to follow.

Steem Secret #5: The Cost of Watching The Price! We have the choice to be excited when the Steem price goes up OR down! Finding peace in being here for the long term means seeing that unless we are interested in buying or selling, the price today is irrelevant.

Steem Secret #6: Witnesses Votes Give The Most! Votes on posts pay once. Votes for witness pay indefinitely up to 0.18 Steem every 63 seconds equal to over $300 A DAY in Steem Power for the top 20 witnesses! View the list of witnesses at https://steemd.com/witnesses and adjust witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses.

Steem Secret #7: Appropriate Methods to Ask for Votes! How do we get more votes and followers on Steem? Asking for an upvote, a follow, a resteem, or a witness vote in an appropriate context helps a lot because often the difference in getting a vote versus not getting a vote is asking.

A Steem Witness Voting System! Are witness votes the most important we make for Steem? How do we find new witnesses to vote for at https://steemit.com/~witnesses where our vote will help the most? Where can new witnesses openly ask for votes in a way anyone can easily find them? What can we do to set up our votes and forget about this?

12 Steps to Secure a New Ubuntu Linux Server! Will you read this Ubuntu Linux security tutorial to see how to setup a new Ubuntu Linux server because these simple steps can block most basic hacking attempts? If you are hoping to setup a witness server for Steem, I hope this guide will help show what to do immediately after getting access to the witness server.

Steps 13 to 19 to Prepare an Ubuntu Linux Server to be a Witness for Steem! How do we prepare to launch our Steem witness on Ubuntu Linux inside a secure server? I hope this tutorial when combined with the others I have written will show the exact steps needed to block most hackers from gaining access to any Ubuntu Linux server and make starting a Steem witness easier.

Set a Proxy to Make Witness Voting Easy! The most important votes we make on Steem are for witnesses because every witness vote lasts indefinitely and witnesses are essentially the trusted servants and leaders of our community! The best solution I know of for witness voting is to find one user we trust to make all our votes for us, and then set that user as a proxy at https://steemit.com/~witnesses.

Our Top 20 Witnesses Earn 250 Steem Power A Day! Votes for witnesses are the most important we make on Steem because our votes decide who earns ~ $295 a day for doing the work of creating our blockchain, which is usually what we call mining in blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Witnesses also decide whether to accept changes made by Steemit, what the price of Steem is worth relative to the SBD, which updates should be made in the future, and generally do Steem full time in the top 20.

Get a Steem Witness + Seed Online Today with These Ubuntu Linux Commands! How do we setup our Steem witness and seed nodes if we have no Ubuntu Linux experience? What are the exact commands we need to use to become a witness for Steem and get our servers online? Hopefully this guide will make it ridiculously easy to get started in the command line interface even without ever having used Linux before!

Steem Witness Basic Training! How do we earn Steem Power and become a witness for Steemit today? What is a witness? Where does mining happen in Steem? Which steps to take to get a witness node online? Why take the time to vote for witnesses? Who are the existing witnesses for Steem? Will we read this guide because it has answers to all these questions which when understood helps us to be of best service here and therefore to get the highest return from our time invested?

How to Start Getting Steem Witness Votes? After launching our Steem witness, where is the logical starting point to get votes? The 10 steps in this guide will highlight a few basics that I hope are useful to get the most votes as witness on Steemit because it seems to me the voting process for being a witness with Steemit is challenging at all levels from keeping the list of 30 current at the top to building relationships during a climb up the middle to getting the very first votes at the bottom of the list.

Launch a Steem Witness Today! Find the newest guides for becoming a Steem witness here including hosting, server setup, security tutorials, Steem installation, and optimization! No experience with Ubuntu Linux? Me either! I did the research to make this post because I wanted to have everything I needed to get started today setting up my witness and seed without ever having used Linux before!

Complete Witness Installation Guide by @krnel. Welcome to a step-by-step "foolproof" guide to manually install a witness and seed node. All you have to do is type these commands one after the other. If something goes wrong, it's not likely covered here, sorry. Everything works for me after installing several times. You will have to do some research to resolve your issue, or ask for help in the witness steemit.chat channel.

Your guide to setting up a Witness Server (STEEM-in-a-box HF19) This article by @someguy123 contains both upgrade instructions, AND install-from-fresh instructions. This article is designed for those running a previous version of my Steem-in-a-box software, or for those looking to set up a new witness server. Thank you @someguy123 for making it so easy with this guide for a new witness to get started!

Setting Up A Linux VPS Securely (Pt.1) - Join Me On My Journey to Become a Witness by @krnel. "Along with a goal to get to Level 70 Reputation, I also wanted to host a node for the blockchain, and see about becoming a Steem Witness. That was after getting the rep level first, that I now have. So, I am continuing with the vision I had months ago, and am going to document or journal my journey to setup a Steem Witness Node."

Setting Up A Linux VPS Securely (Pt.2) by @krnel. "Welcome back to the second part of securing your Linux Server. I won't talk about becoming a witness, or what a witness is, until I actually get to that part of the setup myself. This is about securing a server first."

Secure Your Linux Server with a Firewall by @krnel. "A firewall is the last point of contact before anyone in the vast internet can get into your server. Getting a firewall up is crucial before deploying a server online. UFW means Uncomplicated Firewall and is included in Ubuntu."

Secure Your Linux Server with Fail2Ban by @krnel! Fail2Ban monitors log files to determine if someone who is trying to gain access is a legitimate user. If they aren't, they get banned temporarily by their IP address. Policies can be setup in conjunction with a firewall to log failed access attempts and drop traffic for a period of time, preventing a would-be attacker from even attempting to access your services.

Secure Your Linux Server with Tripwire IDS by @krnel. Security is continually developing, and you can't be sure to have locked down every possible vulnerability for some pesky hacker to get in through. An intrusion detection system will run a check of your system and compare it to a snapshot stored database of what your system previously looked like. Changes that you are not aware of indicate a possibly compromised system. @krnel thank you for writing this guide!

How to: Configuring more frequent time synchronization on Ubuntu by @l0k1. "Since they will be removing an inbuilt NTP client in steemd, it is important for witnesses to configure time synchronization on their servers. It's not difficult, just install one package and set a more frequent rate of NTP polling to minimize the drift."

Introducing conductor, a simple Steem Witness Toolkit Conductor is a user friendly, KISS utility for creating, updating and management of your witness. Thank you to @furion for creating conductor for us!

Will you read this post for a quick summary in the most basic terms of the whitepaper release yesterday at https://smt.steem.io because knowing what to do next will be simple?

Steem Works: A Funding Mechanism for a Worker Proposal System by @aggroed. "So, I have to say it... Jerry is onto something with the Worker Proposal system. I think it's proven to be pretty effective in a number of cases and coins to decentralize the work necessary to grow various blockchains and their networks. I think Steem could benefit from having one."

Announcing: Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) by @ned. "After more than 20 months of development and 350,000 users on Steem, I have an important message for you about a new Steem-based protocol I call Smart Media Tokens to allow any and every application to have their own STEEM-like token."

Hi - This is a great guide, great work.

I've just put together a guide to what I think are the six best tools for tracking your data on steemit - I generally try to avoid linking to my own posts in comments, but it seems to fit so well with the theme of this that I thought I'd make an exception. Should be useful to newcomers.

Cheers,

Karl.

Yes, great work ... Thank you :-) @jerrybanfield

Thanks for sharing

Thanks @jerrybanfield been looking for resources like these, will share your link in my Minnows Support Network. 😊🤙 cheers 🍻
Lets-be-friends.gif

Thank you for this im trying to put it in effect but still having problems but this isvery helpful

Jerry will you make a video of for this post?😂 love u man!

@newyorkdude yes thank you for suggesting it and upvoting this post! I see you have not made any votes for witness yet. Would you please add me to your witness votes or set me as a proxy to handle all witness voting at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because witness votes are the most important we make on Steem and every vote for me helps raise funding for Steem growth projects funded with @budgets?

Just did! 100% my support because I know you care about this platform 👍🏼

@newyorkdude thank you for making a witness vote at https://steemit.com/~witnesses for me today!

I am not sure what happened because I checked https://steemd.com/@newyorkdude and it says no vote exists? Would you verify there is a green arrow next to jerrybanfield on the witness voting page because often the votes do not go through the first time?

I voted for you @jerrybanfield but I think you should make a video. This was a lot of info and of course all related to steem but at the same time all of the play with information.

Yeah. TL;DR

I just voted for you as a witness. This is a good opportunity to tell you ass well that I came to steemit because of you in a promotion video ad in youtube last August (I saw all the video interesting since normally no one wants to see a 3 minutes video add and I saw more than an hour) and recently I found another long video add again in youtube and saw all of it. Thank you for that and I will follow step by step all the guides and even document the results. Maybe it takes me a year but if I close my eyes when I open them I will see the results.

@yuninho thank you very much for voting for me as a witness at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because your witness vote helps raise funding indefinitely for projects designed to grow Steem with @budgets and to represent us in any changes to Steem!

We appreciate you letting us know how you found us because it helps to know what works to grow our community!

Great post @jerrybanfield , resteemed and following @tazbaz

@jerrybanfield I want to know what is this vote for witnesses? As I am new I want to understand these basics. Thanks

Daud witnesses are similar to what we think of as miners in other cryptocurrencies. Witnesses produce the blockchain in real time including processing all transactions. The top 20 witnesses receive 260 Steem power a day as a reward while witnesses below the top 20 get paid by votes. Voting for witness is the single most important vote we make and yet the process is overwhelming for most of us.

The ideal solution for the majority of us is to find one person we trust to make all our votes for us and set them as a proxy at https://steemit.com/~witnesses because the proxy then takes the time to research witness votes and keep them updated. I see you have made more than 10 witness votes already and appreciate you including me among your votes!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

@jerrybanfield Thanks for your concentration on my reply. Yes, I have made 10 votes for witnesses. I have also made one for you.
I have posted a post a few minutes ago on my steemit. I will be happy if you will visit my steemit and will read my post about I need help you.

Hey Jerry great work bro i saw your video on youtube and this is the comment i left there so im reposting it here because you said to leave it on steemit instead and this is the comment and i hope you can help me bro thank you again in advance." I don't believe this I have over 51 video & blog posts on that steemit thing and dtube video platform and I haven't made close to $500 for each video yet. So I don't know what you're doing bro but I wish you would show me step by step to get the same financial results you have . Because I'm having a real hard time making money on this platform. The funny thing is I have 104 subscribers on that platform and it keeps Rising but I'm not getting enough up votes to make the kind of money that you're making and I don't know if it has anything to do with the up votes. Some people say it has a lot to do with the amount of steem you have or steem power is what they call it. I'm new to the platform and I have a few months under my belt already and I still haven't grasped the full understanding of how this whole thing works."

Yes that super amazing man @jerrybanfield genius thank you so.mcuh for sharing this I appreciate that 😊😊

wow a very informative guide. thank you so much @jerrybanfield

Thank You @jerrybanfield for this amazing guide

jerry you are my #1 go to guy when bringing people over to steemit. i share your videos and your tutorials above any other as you are full of energy and to the point. I mention you and share some of your videos in this post as im trying to get more users over who share awesome content. You support would be just amazing on this one so thought i would share. https://steemit.com/steemit/@soundlegion/working-hard-on-bringing-serious-content-creators-to-steemit-secureteam10-mcm-productions-and-more

i just happened to come across this post as i was scrolling at the comment sections of a post that led me here.
i grateful i found this. this really helps me since i'm still a minnow in this platform. i'm definitely going to study each and every tip that you gave in this post. Thank you @jerrybanfield for you dedication. :D

Great asset you are to this community! Followed and resteemed to Best of Steem!

Good of list of reading.

Steem is nice but if you don't post regularly it's hard to get upvotes. I have to keep promoting my posts and asking friends to check it out otherwise I could end up spending hours writing something and not get noticed at all. Thank you for all the tips though mate.

I agree with you @generation
if you don't post regularly it's hard to get upvotes...
I'm new to the Steem community, that's why I say it.
Thank you so much @jerrybanfield!! :D

@generation what gets noticed on Steem versus what gets noticed on Google over the next year may be significantly different. Most bloggers have no hope of a reward through years of blogging while on Steem we do have a chance to get something. When we think of our blogs as a place to be useful to others, then we can let go of how much each post earns in rewards.

Thank you for responding Jerry. You have a very valid point. Now that you mentioned it, some of my older posts (that are months old) have a lot of views and continue to get views :)

let me translate this post to Indonesian language to be able to share knowledge for friends in indonesia @jerrybanfield !!!

Upvote & Resteem....follow @lurehound

Jerry, Excellent Guide. Sharing with two of my daughters who are new to Steem.

OMG @jerrybanfield this is seriously freakin #amazing!
thank you JerryB

~KellyC <3

#JerryB is #AMAZING!

oh yeah I know all about this guy
heres great and totally embodies the spirit of the way steemit wants to be.
a social media platfom for people to just finally be them self instead of a fake avatar of them self for the rest of the world and doing nothing in the end for the figure but now the whole script if flipped and its a world of opportunity for the quality to rise t the top and the fake BS to fall buy the way side buy the natural order of the new ecosystem, Steemonomics.
lol I keep coming up with these great steem word mashups
that would be a cool post is a list of them and if we could do it do it could be updated on the reg as people come up with new ones
but yeah Jerry Banfield is the shizznet
keep up the good work @jerrybanfield

o yeah @klizo I like that idea def should do that
#steemonomics is awesome!
how about
#steemazing?

thanks for sharing your experience and also thanks for great tutorials update which is helpful to all of steemit user. you are really doing a great job to help new steemians and we are really waiting for your update tutorials and I'm glad to see your post.

Thanks for such an insightful and detailed article!

Being down voted by Content censoring whales sucks
and hurts minnows who only earn 0.01 per post/comment anyhow
This whale BS will kill STEEM imho

Fred Steem is only a disappointment for us when we set our expectations unrealistically. I earned next to nothing on 500 blog posts and hundreds of videos my first several YEARS trying to make a contribution online. When we expect to jump onto Steem with no audience or investment and earn money without any previous blogging experience writing mostly self interested posts and then we leave calling Steem a failure, our own expectations failed us. All of my friends that have repeatedly made an effort on Steem have succeeded in having a least one post earn thousands of USD dollars in rewards even without my upvote or support. All of my friends that expected huge payouts, called Steem a failure, and gave up missed out on the majority of the opportunity.

Our lives are what we make of them and a lot of us quit trying right when we are about to succeed. I felt tempted to quit on Steem myself right before the price explosion and fortunately I have done that so many times in other endevours I did not make the same mistake again.

Fortunately we can always come back and try again on Steem even if giving up in disappointment at first.

I'm a little lost on the 'witness' function. Still too deep for me to grasp.

Amazing shot friend

Thanks for the great tutorial.....it's really helpful....thanks for sharing your experience

Legend!

Thanks for this article @jerrybanfield
I learnt alot
I found this very helpful and educational💯

thanks for the information

Hello jerry. I know this is off topic but i have issues with my steem. Last week, i forward 29.9 steem over @poloniex hoping it would then be monetized. I badly needed that money but it did not came to my steem wallet over poloniex. I felt bad though because I sent a ticket to them on their community support and I still did not get any response. I thought they got over this type of problem. I also ranted in twitter a lot. I tagged them asking for an answer.still no response. What shall i do?

@gailbelga thank you for sharing your experience with @poloniex because maybe it will prevent another of us from having the same issue. What you described is normal with Poloniex and I see you are already using @bittrex which is much more reliable for transactions. I avoid Poloniex today because of what you described. In a month or more the transaction may just appear out of nowhere and might be worth much more than today!

You are welcome Jerry. I also want others to be aware of this. I hope that happens. Thank you so much! 😊

It's very interesting post, learned a lot, upvoted!

already followed. this post is really helpful especially to newbie like me, I am still confused and wandering through steemit. But a guide from someone like you makes it easier to understand what steemit is all about. :)

Wow man that was great seriously ..

Thanks

I would love to visit there. Great article!

it would be great if steemit had the option to save a post as favourite, and order them somehow because...what a manual!

This should be made into a pdf and spread far and wide across the platforms. What an informative post this turns out to be.

My best picks from the lot are:

23,349 Views from Google on 1 Steem Post?

and

What is the best time to post on Steemit?

Wow! Thank you so much for this!

Helpfull post dear brother

This post very interesting.useful to me.Thanks for [email protected] if you have a time please visit my block brother.

@jerrybanfield Thanks for the greate post. There i differently multiple post i need to look into as a new steemit user!
I have one question, that i can't seem to figure out based on the posts and my google search. Does it make sense (financial) to become a steem witness now?

This is very informative....thanks@jerrybanfield. Always live reading through your post because they are always unique

What a post!

What a wonderful job you do informing all of us on what we need to help make this platform even greater. : )

Nice post

it was so amazing one.:)

" Steemit Authors Earn 37% More Steem with 50/50 Payout! When we choose the 50/50 payout option on our Steemit posts, we earn 37% more than with the 100% Steem Power payout because Steem Dollars or SBD are actually worth today $1.69 on the market! Would you continue reading to see why and how to quickly change SBD into Steem and/or any other cryptocurrency? "

You should change the actual price there of the SBD!

Thanks for the information! :D

I transfer you twice 0.5sbd but not vote to me at 18 hours later. Why? Please black to 1sbd.

As always, tremendously valuable info. Thanks Jerry!

Great post @jerrybanfield resteemed and upvoted, I followed you

Thank you Jerry :)

Thanks...

Resteem...it’s already late night in here. I want to read it from top to finish. I know I will learn a lot in this post and most of my questions will be answer. 🙏 thank you @jerrybanfield.

Two things-

A) Had to upvote you for landing on 666 upvotes (I'm not even religious, just superstitious apparently lol). And more importantly -

B) Holy hell, this is helpful. I have a few friends that I was trying to get on the platform and I will definitely be referring them here before anything else. It's definitely a little daunting at first but guides like this make it seem like the information is way more available and easy to access.

Great post, thank you!

@harrisonmir thank you for the upvote and for letting me know this is a post you will share with friends because that confirms how I hoped it would be used is happening!

Too much important information. Thank you for sharing with us @jerrybanfield

Thanks for information

Very informative guide, thank you for it!

Bookmarked this post, there is a lot of useful information for me as a newbie. Thanks a lot of this grear post.

wow @jerrybanfield. Thanks for making this. I've only been participating since December so I need all of this info. I invested $1000 into steem so my goal is to become a great community member and help it grow. I will follow your instructions to vote you as a witness. Really appreciate your efforts to teach us. I will devour this stuff lol. I live in Orlando so I'm happy you are doing your thing in St Pete.

Hello Mr. Banfield! Hope you're having a great time!
I was wasting my time around another social network, and I found a ad about you and Steem. I must say it was really inspiring and encouraging... so here I am. I thank you for taking a time to be such a good guide for some of us around the world. Also, you let me know I can count on you anytime I have a doubt, or if I need some advise.
You have no idea how helpful it might be for some people like me... surely you will...
See you around!

Thanks so much for including my post in this I know it will really help lots of new users get started. This is great and I will look for some other posts from other users to send your way so you can add them to http://steem.guide/

thank you for your post. i have watched your videos. But i don't aphew understand. So repeat whatching.

i think dtube and steemit are great platform where you don't need to be celebraty and famous person.you can get well reward for your thoughts and creativity.

Wow, this certainly is about 40 minutes of reading, but what an absolute goldmine of information on SteemIt. Followed, UpVoted, Resteemed and voted you as a witness! Thanks!

About Me: My blog is mostly about how to make passive income using cryptocurrencies. I'm working on a ton of how to videos/articles that will be continually launched over the next few weeks. Check it out if you get a chance, I'd appreciate any follows, and upvotes!

A lot of thanks jerry... resteem and upvote man.

Thank you for your information. Really helpful

Thanks for this information!

i'm really new in steemit and you are really helpfull by your post and your video also.thank you

Huge contribution to our project, great work)))

That are a ton of tutorials. I remember when I started with SteemIt and read only tutorials, tips and FAQs for 2 days xD

Hi @jerrybanfield, I found you on youtube and I was a bit skeptic about earning money on steemit, I created my account for the freedom of speech the platform gives us. Once I saw your videos it made me also confident to invest! Since mathematics is not a personal opinion it all started making sense. I haven't even finished the post yet and I found so much useful info. Thanks !!!!

I read a bunch of these articles you have suggested... but I can't seem to find the answers to my question.

WHY ARE REDFISH VOTES NOT WORTH ANYTHING AT 90% VP when they have 1SP and are delegated 14 by @steem? shouldnt their vote be worth something??

Why was the steem power delegation to new users cut in half January 8th?

Is steemit falling apart, if the new users struggle we will see the number of abandoned accounts keep growing!

This is a great collection of material. There is just always more to learn about Steem.

It looks like I have a lot more reading to do!
