If you are a little bit confused about Steemit and what all the terms mean - Steem, Steem Backed Dollars, Steem Power, wallets, powering down, etc. then, you'll want to pay attention to this post, as I think it can really help you. (It really helped me - I used to be so confused!)
When I heard about Steemit, about a year ago, I decided it was a cool place to begin posting my "Daily Hustle" videos every day.
And when I did, not only did Steemit pay me in a new type of crypto currency, (called Steem) but, from what I read, it also somehow allowed me to have a "stake" in Steemit itself, kind of like having equity in the company.
And - true confession time - over much of the last year, I've had no idea what I was doing on Steemit!
I mean, I knew you could get paid by upvoting certain content or by commenting / replying, but I was totally confused by it all.
How does Steem Power work?
What are Steem Backed Dollars?
What is "Powering Down"?
How do I maximize my time / earnings / experience on the site?
And, even though I read and read lots of articles ON Steemit ABOUT Steemit, I was still left with so many questions and so few answers.
I mean, to a beginner, all these new terms can all kind of jumble together after awhile...
...and this new way of earning has so many moving parts, it's kind of difficult to put it all together, you know?
So, one day, I was looking at my account and noticed that I had accumulated a pretty good amount of Steem. (and SBD and all the other stuff)
Being a Udemy (online) instructor, I thought: "You know, there's got to be a Udemy course on this topic... Let me see..."
And sure enough, there was!
And the course seemed to show me everything I would need to know, step by step, so that I could follow along from beginner / basic concepts to more advanced concepts.
Trust me, I had READ tons and tons of articles, but until I VIEWED this course, with a knowledgeable instructor walking me, step by step to understanding Steemit, I was not clear on how everything worked. (And now I can refer back to that course every time I have a question or want to re-learn something!)
There's just something about learning via video, from a good instructor that can really make the difference - it did for me!
The cool thing about Udemy courses is that you can take them on your computer, on your phone, on your tablet, in a train, on a plane, just about anywhere, you could be learning as you go!
So, I just wanted to encourage you. If you are having trouble understanding all the Steemit terminology and how it all works, there is help.

Now, I've been able to take some of my Steem and use it to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and soon, additional cryptocurrencies. (Even got my son into it and he's buying crypto, too!)
So, yeah, check it out if you're as confused as I was - this very simple course was PERFECT for me because it really clarified everything in a step-by-step way. I recommend it!
