Warm Welcome to Steemit
Warm Welcome
I would like to take this opportunity and wish you a Warm Welcome to Steemit on behalf of the Community.
This may be the first time you have seen #Steemit and have accessed it through one of our promotional flyers similar to the one above by the QR code on the flyer.
These flyers are currently being distributed throughout the U.K. by the #promo-uk Team as they pass through your town/city on the U.K. #SteemRoadShow Tour.
This simple introduction to #Steemit is here to give you a better feel for the Platform.
So what is #Steemit?
#Steemit is a new Social Network that rewards users for their content, by redefining the way Social Media values the users contribution.
It works by simply allowing the crowd in the Community to reward content created by users by means of voting.
The more votes you get, the more rewards you receive.
What makes #Steemit different to the rest?
Unlike other conventional Social Media platforms that extract value from their users for the sole benefit of their Shareholders, #Steemit distributes this across the users rewarding them for their content.
In essence #Steemit has no Shareholders and each user is effectively a Shareholder.
By simply posting your content the Community decides by means of voting what value your content is to the Community.
How do I create a Steemit account?
It is simple and free to set up an account.
Simply click on the "Sign Up" link at the top of Steemit.com to get started.
What will I need to be verified?
When you sign up you will be asked to verify your email address and phone number.
After you have received verification that your email address and phone number has been verified you will be added to the waiting list.
Once your account has been approved you will receive an email with a notification.
Please note that this could take a while, and in times of huge applications it could take several days.
Will I get a Password with my account?
Yes and you MUST SAVE IT.
When you receive notification that your account has been approved you can complete the signup process by following the instructions on the email.
Be sure to SAVE YOUR PASSWORD as there is no way of recovering if lost.
Once you have saved a copy of your Password, click "Create Account" and you are ready to go.
Introducing yourself
Once you have an account you are ready to start Blogging.
It may feel strange, but the best way to do this is by taking a photograph of yourself, preferably holding up a piece of paper with #Steemit and the date on it.
If you like, use the Promotional Flyer you have.
On the bottom right hand corner of the Tags and Topics on the flyer you will see #promo-uk.
If you include the #promo-uk tag in your Introductory Blog, this will for sure generate UpVotes from the #promo-uk Team earning you rewards straight away.
It is our way to wishing you a Warm Welcome to #Steemit.

Explaining Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars
At first when you join #Steemit it can sometimes feel confusing to understand the various tokens that you receive in rewards.
Thanks to Dylan @Anarcotech this is a great explanation of the three different tokens: Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars.
