There's so much to know about Steemit and how it works. There's so much information available as well. But, what a beginner needs is the technical knowledge about Steemit as well as the advice coming from experienced Steemians. Knowing the basics of Steemit and the best community practices will help every beginner or struggling Steemian.

There's one particular problem as well. When we invite people to Steemit (because we find it amazing for ourselves), they have questions before they join. Then they have a lot of questions after joining as well. In her latest post, @ogoowinner pointed out an issue she has been facing. Let's read what she wrote.

I write this post because I am having difficulties guiding the people I introduced to Steemit. I have been spreading the good news of Steemit to all my friends, relatives, neighbors and others. Some of them have successfully registered, but handling all their questions is becoming a problem to me.
I already had planned this post; a post which can guide every new Steemian through the world of Steemit and explain systems, procedures, and strategies. But @ogoowinner made it look urgent to me. I have guided a lot of people through the initial phase already using my Facebook group but this post is an important resource for anyone who wants to guide newbies from their community.

I am going to divide this post in to three parts for the sake of ease and organization.
