Making An Account & Getting Started On Steemit

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I am doing a video series on how to get started on steemit. Today we talk about getting started and setting up an account.

I had made the video for my viewers on YouTube so please forgive the parts where I ask everyone to comment on my articles. Many people suggested I share this video with you all here though so here it is.

To get started on steemit you will need a valid email address and a cell phone. These are only used for setting up an account and will never again be used and will not be saved on steemit.

You will have complete anonymity if you chose. The only information displayed is what you share yourself when setting up your account.

First go to steemit.com and click on the sign up form on the top right corner of the screen.

Next you can create a user name that will be visible to everyone when you post on steemit.

You will need to enter a valid email address and a cell phone number. The cell phone is ONLY used to send you a one time text message. You enter the digits into the field. Your cell phone will not be saved and will never be needed again on steemit. (I stress this based on many concerns I have read).

Now you wait. After a short time your account will be manually approved.

Do not ever lose your password. Copy and paste it into a word file and save it to your computer and an extra storage disk outside your computer. Then print it out as well. If you lose your password, you can never recover your account.

Once your account has been activated you can set up your home page and personalize it. I wrote an article about that here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thediyworld/using-steem-for-noobs

Write your first post, introducing yourself to the steemit community.

Find articles you like and give them a vote up. Write comments related to anything that interests you. If someone feels that you deserve it, or like your work, you will get an up vote as well.

Voting is how people gain in reputation and gain steem dollars. But I will be explaining this and commenting in more detail in the next article.

Watch the video I made about how to get started on steemit here:

Trolls from YouTube have found me here.

Please do not engage the trolls. Dont give them the attention they seek

Help me drive the trolls posts down by commenting here.

Thank you

I really enjoy your YouTube channel. You have a really good channel with great content. Don't let the trolls get you down. Ignore them if you can. They are just a bunch of jealous losers .

Wont that just make YOU fake money? And again you followers wont get anything

Steem dollars can be traded for USD. If you are not happy here, please leave.

You invited me here and I'm enjoying it. Just have yet to see anyone pull actual cash out yet. Again thanks for the invite

@bigjeff............. here is some food for thought ............ IS STEEMIT A HOAX

New, unsuspecting visitors need to ask, why does Troy Reid, aka thediyworld, aka trtechtactical, aka diy-electronics, aka blogger101, need to write this Disclaimer on every article.

Besides up voting himself to make pennies, he fails to tell the truth himself.

Trolls did NOT Just Find Me Here as he wants you to believe.

He brought his victims here the exact same way You are here.
With a self serving video to dupe you into making HIM Money, NOT YOU!

Buyer Beware!

Not smart to lie about the baby crying on your last video now your new follower on steemit may belive all the negative comments they read bout you. Just be honest to the viewer and whats more important to yourself!!! As mentioned at your last vid babies cry thats normal and sometimes its not convenient in a situation but to deny it and say it was a cat was a HUGE mistake. Good luck on the shitstorm!

We simply make daily videos of our lives on the homestead.

If you do not like us, simply leave and find something else to entertain you.

Harassing us is criminal.

I thought the video was informative as I am new to Steemit. A series of tutorials would be helpful to my understanding of the White Paper which tries to spell things out, but can leave a lot to the imagination. I appreciated the first two tutorials and I look forward to more as you produce them.

Thank you. I have a few more videos and articles on the way.

I love your videos and articles. I find it amusing that the trolls had to follow you here. They are self righteous individuals. They feel that they have purpose in telling your followers that you are no good, when infact they are the morons. Haha Like I'm gonna listen to some moron that is trying to stab their fellow man in the back.

Thank you. I find it sad that they spend so much time and energy harassing people.

If they do not like what I do, they can simply leave and find something else to do.

If I do not like someone's content I am sure not going to visit them again.

@thediyworld THEN WHY DID YOU INVITE YOUR SO CALLED TROLLS OVER HERE TO STEEM AND WHY DID YOU MAKE THE YOU TUBE VIDEO STATING THAT IF WE COMMENTED WITH OUR NAMES WE WOULD BE UN-BLOCKED AND UNCENSORED ON YOUR YOU TUBE CHANNEL ???? SEEMS TO ME YOU WANT THEM HERE , SEEING AS HOW YOU ASKED THEM HERE .

You're wrong @thediyworld, people do not like your lies.

Please do NOT engage the trolls. For your own good. They can down vote you and destroy you on this community.

Let me deal with them.

I am hoping that by filling my blog with positive and good comments, we can push the bad stuff down lower on the page.

I will take care of the harassment through proper channels.

doc hit you hard and hurt your reputation. I fixed it for now but please do not engage them.

I would very much appreciate any help though in positive comments or conversations.

These I will vote up, pushing the bad stuff down.

Let the trolls show their own real faces with their hate, lies and negativity while we take the high ground.

Thank you.

@thediyworld, You don't "take the high road", that's why you invited people here to do your dirty work.
You can't make money on YouTube due to poor content, and you're not making it here on Steemit either.
Another reason why you Up Vote your own comments and with Your Multiple Accounts.

"Pushing Down" comments doesn't do shit.
The comments are still there, even the ones You flagged and made grey!

Unfortunately your version of "let me deal with it" is to DELETE, just like a butt hurt 8 year old.

Stop the lies.

Your viewers that come here are not stupid.

They'll figure you out once they get here!

Awww, another troll joined the team to try to run a smear campaign. Go ahead and turn me in then. Oh, you already did, didnt you.

It is a blizzard, a blizzard and life threatening!
I can already hear the BS.

Luv it when he says its snowing heavily. He has the camera on the snowfall and we can see that its just normal snowfall but to mrs drama queen its time to call fema for some help. And of course idiot subs that can't stand to see troy sitting by a cold drafty window looking out at the gentle snowfall

thats his only attempt at content.....drama, real content and doin a good job on projects would require more work than he is willing to muster

@daleb, See, you're already labled a troll by Reid @thediyworld!!

Good job!

Reid has no integrity to explain things.
He only knows how to passively aggressively attack back.
If you're lucky, maybe he will invite you to his house to see him "face to face so you can piss your pants" like he did me.

Troy wants to cash in his steempie, but cant ! cause if does he loses power and then will get steam rolled and destroyed and he knows it. thats why he is suckering and begging people into joining him here. because he needs to cash out to pay the lectric bill and get the propane tanks filled. HE IS JUST USING PEOPLE like always.

Oh look, another follow of Troy (if it's not an alt account of Troy himself) THREATENING VIOLENCE! Troy and his minions sure are a violent lot.

flag his comments

@joythedog its fun greying out this michael idiots violent & slanderous comments...

Bet the pistol is for when you finally get the nerve to end your sad troy loving life. Welcome to steemit where we ALL make a shit ton of money just like troy

it must be a hard life knowing you made so many enemies you need to sleep with a gun under your pillow. i for one fill safe at home and around town. yes i own a lot of guns but not because im scared like you. maybe there is some underlying mental issue you should get reviewed. we wouldn't want you to go nuts and shoot up a mall thinking the innocent are after you like you do here.

@michealrock747 I CONSIDER THIS POST TO BE THREATENING NATURE AND ASK MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO FLAG IT .

Hello fellow YouTubers. Thanks for showing up here.

A BIT MORE INFO!

BEWARE OF THIS USER, UPSET HIM AND HE WILL WANT TO FIGHT WITH YOU.
HE ALSO SLEEPS WITH A LOADED SHOTGUN UNDER HIS BED, WHAT KING OF ENVIRONMENT IS THAT FOR A YOUNG DEFENCELESS ASIAN WOMEN WITH A NEW BORN BABY.

Don't be taken in by TR the monkey.
Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead* (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated .sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

http://thedoityourselfworld.sucks

.sucks is closed at the moment but there is loads of information in the introductory pages.

*some say his hat is made of kangaroo cock skin but this has not been verified.

Listen to the first second of @thediyworld ‘s new video today.
https://hooktube.com/watch?v=8kznJ6S39mA
His baby daughter can be clearly heard crying and he gets mad. Then he later lied about the whole thing on steemit, claiming it was a kitten making the noise. Troy Reid just cannot stop lying.

Downloaded and sent to the welfare dept looking at his case!

welfare wont do anything if he aint on welfare. You must have their number on speed dial, when you check to see if your food stamps are in

Those guys are so crazy. They continue to turn me in to any and every authority they can think of in hopes of making something stick one day.

I keep telling them that YouTube pays my bills. And they are right here on steemit trying to reduce my income here too. They openly declare they want to destroy my life.

One day I hope to find legal help. They have given me all the info I ever need to win a court case.

he is not talking about the welfare troy relies on to feed his family deer corn and stray cats, he is talking about the child protection agency that makes regular checkups to see if the child is still alive

So if Troy's child cries in the middle of the night, he says, "go back to sleep Melanie, it's just the cat..." ???

troy just retracted his many denials and said we were correct, it was the kid. Egg on your face much?

He is the one that truly loves trog for his intelligence but then having an IQ of 3 doesn't really work well for him. His mommy probably created this acct for him to have something to do besides jack off

@michaelrock747 Which one of T-liar’s goons on youtube are you?

Yup the prop is making too much noise. Just shows what it must be like to live with this con man

That is a baby not a cat. Maybe if you spent more time as a father and not hiding from being a parent you could tell the diffrence between cat and child

@michaelrock747 why do you attack others for spelling errors but not troy when he mistakenly and repeatedly typed the wrong years he supposedly served in the army? or all the misspelled words he makes? kind of one sided don't you think. by the way it is me who is greying out all your comments for slanderous lies and trolling. you may as well give up because it is my mission to keep your steem channel down so long as you are trolling and on my mind ;)

@michaelrock747 That was a typo. You must be as dopey as T-scammer.

Poor little michaelrock didn't get the meaning behind bigjeff's comment. I find really smart people's brains work much faster than their fingers can type, hence the obvious spelling errors now and then. If little michaelcock could overlook the spelling and get the thought behind the comment he would learn a thing or two.

Using that OUTDOOR stove inside is DANGEROUS to that baby!!!! Are the FUMES hurting her eyes? Throat? Crying could be from using an OUTDOOR stove inside!!

Unreal! Then to blame it on a cat lmfaoooooo. Hummmmm the cats meow at times and he keeps filming no problem. His daughter cries and hes annoyed because she needs attention and taking the spot light off him. Its going to be a long road for her. His infant daughter inconvenienced him. Unbelieveable.

Welcome to Steemit new unsuspecting visitors!

Please join us in unwrapping the LIES Reid portrays in his daily videos.

Reid says he has "fun" here, which is not true.

The real fun is with the real folks who have been blocked and banned by Reid for asking questions about his deceptive business practices on YouTube.

Such a thoughtful little man. First Christmas and absolutely zero fucks for the anchor baby.

@diywhat, Troy Reid says he "doubt she will care" about having a Christmas tree.

This is how fuked up and hypocritical he is.

Reid had no problem having a "2 Month" birthday party for baby Michelle video.
Who does this??

BUT, he back peddled on his promises for a 100,000 YT Subscriber party, and the Patreon prize giveaways.

This person will exploit anything favorable for him.
But will denounce it out the other side of his ass at the same time.

Reid doesn't believe in the conventual theory of Xmas,
but he will be the first in line to get his presents.

He admitted on YT that he and his sister Danielle have a present rivalry.

Troy Reid is a hypocrite.

What about the Brown Lizard, would she not like a tree!

So glad his goons are seeing the real Turd!

Quite so. It didn't stop him celebrating her 'birthday' after a month. Hypocrite!

Isn't this information already out there in abundance?

Of course it is. Where do you think Troy COPIED it from? He is incapable of original content. He is a PARASITE on Youtube and now on Steemit.

I love how trog is in the dark about the reason his steemit has turned into a steeming pile of shit. I have never seen so many people comment negatively on a site. The world is in agreement- Trog sucks the life out of people and can't understand why his lies keep coming back to bite him in the ass on a daily basis. Having a front row seat to this train wreck is great entertainment.

Good Tutorial, Keep on Truckin'


Still blaming youtube and the bell for your stagnating channel? Your content is at rock bottom in both subject matter and quality of video production and is getting worse.

Nothing is poor Troy's fault.

@jackhoffmann, Yea, that bell must be effecting 101,000 subscribers missing his great videos.

Most channels with over 100K subs have content worth watching.
Not Reid's.

We watch for the lies as a public service.

Troy, how many additional Steemit accounts do you recommend I add to this one, in order to rake in the big bucks and be employed like you? You being the expert and all...

He has 4 and appears extremely wealthy so I would start with 4 and expand as you can steal other peoples phone and email information. Don't worry about them finding out because surely as troy does you will repay them in steem dollars.

Ask yourself, why does Troy Reid, aka diyworld, aka trtechtactical, aka diy-electronics, aka blogger101, need to invite (for the second time) people here to Up Vote his comments, and in return up vote your "clean and positive" comments,

to make money,

when his blogs are only making pennies??

He denies inviting people here the first time on YouTube in October.
All he got were his victims he calls "trolls".

Buyer beware, you're next on his chopping block.

Trog’s got over 10,000 comments trapped in his spam filters on his youtube channel. He hates it that he can’t censor like that on steemit. He can grey out comments here, but can’t delete them or block anyone here, LOL.

Some GLITCH. Hes blamed that on GLITCHES FOR YEARS. LIES..when people asked him about comments not showin he blamed y.t. lies lies lies

Which video is that from???

Day On The Snowy Homestead And Solar Power Production

Thanks!

@watertower HERR REID HAS OVER THE PAST ...... 2 0R 3 .... MONTHS , EARNED 1000+ USD THROUGH STEEM , WHICH HE CANNOT CLAIM OR CASH DUE TO THE FACT IF HE DOES HE WILL LOSE STEEM POWER , WHICH HE NEEDS TO KEEP BUILT UP SO HIS RANKING DOESNT FALL TO THE BOTTOM . 1000.00 IN 2-3 MONTHS , SPENDING ALL DAY EVERYDAY 7 DAYS A WEEK TO EARN THAT MEASELY PITTENCE .... " HOMELESS BEGGARS " IN A WALMART PARKING LOT MAKE MORE THAN THIS AND IN LESS TIME

He has commented several times on both sites that he was very rich in Germany. Why did he go from very rich to poverty already when he moved onto the first future dumpsite in NY? Something doesn't add up. Was he a prostitute and spent the money trying to rid his ass of Aids? How does a person live like a pauper and lose his riches so fast? I'm thinking he was a pauper in Germany as well and he is lying about his riches. As the saying goes- give troy an old rotten 2x4 and he will add on to his house.
