With no experience and little in terms of processing power I've started to mine using the Minergate App and Program.
The group allows you to mine without having any previous knowledge or even the ability to code.
You can select a Graphic User Interface (GUI) and have access to one button starts and stops with ease of use in terms of mining wallets and even transfer to cash out (or exchange for bitcoin).
I highly recommend this and if you click on the link below you can immediately start mining. All they need is your email address and your password and then you choose how you want to mine. For newbies like myself please feel free to ask questions. I have already started earning. Don't limit yourself to Steemit alone. Cheers.
