Yesterday I did a little campaign on Steemit and I got over 25 students of University of Uyo, in akwa ibom state, Nigeria registered and the top two questions I got from most of the people I told about Steemit was:
The recommended number of times to post on Steemit is 4. Four valuable contents. Below is a screenshot of reward you'll get for making 4 post.
Monthly author awards: you get this award when you post everyday for one month.
200 post award: you get this award when your total post equals 200
200 replies award: you get this when you hit a total of 200 replies.
There are lots of awards to get, just visit http://steemitboard.com/welcome.html and fill in your username.
Special thanks to the project designer of Steemit Board of Honor 
You can absolutely anything on Steemit.com. All you need to do is just tag your post properly and you're good to go. (check my blog to see some other guidelines https://steemit.com/@samstickkz).
Steemit is a social network like Facebook and Twitter but pays you when you post and get likes to do what you've already been doing for free on Facebook and Twitter.
People think you have to do something special or have a programming skill or be one very good hacker to earn on Steemit, because "why should a social network just pay me?", they ask.
You don't need any special skills, the skills you need on Steemit, you've already gotten them through Facebook and Twitter.
So just get registered and start earning.
I'll just drop a video by bitspace to explain. This was one of the first videos I watched about "where the money comes from"
