When I first started on Steemit I was so overwhelmed with all the things to know about this platform that I went into overload. I’m the type of person that can’t let something go once they get into it. So I spent 10 hours a day on steemit the first several days just trying to feel like I knew how to use it best and what was going on. I see all the other new folks on here commenting about how they are struggling and spending a lot of hours trying to figure out the best way to use the platform and I want to help.
We put a lot into our posts, not just time but ourselves as well. It’s taxing to dig deep and give of yourself so you want to ensure you are rewarded for it as best as you can. We don’t have to be ashamed that we are also hear to earn. It doesn’t need to be our top goal, but it is obviously part of it. So, I want to ensure other new folks can find the Steemit tools that I’ve discovered. The tools below save me a ton of time and help me focus on what’s important to my Steemit life to maximize my enjoyment as well as profit.
Steemd Block Explorer by @roadscape https://steemd.com/@username
This is by far my favorite tool because it saves me the most time and gives me the most amount of information in an easy to use form for my account or anyone else's for that matter. Just replace “username” in the link with the username you want info on. I use it on my own account to show me instantly any changes to my account. When anyone comments, upvotes, etc it will show up on the top of the list.

This is a great tool to see a graphical view of everyone that follows you (or any user) as well as anyone you follow. It arranges the data in a graph to show follow activity by day.
Steem Supply http://steem.supply/@username by @dragosroua
Just replace “username” with the desired username or enter it in the top right at the site.
I like the option this tool has under the “Social Insights”. It shows the engagment of all your followers, who is the most loyal, etc.
Visually the most attractive site tool I’ve seen.
See @dragosroua post explaining it's use and show him some love.

https://steemworld.org/@username by @steemchiller
This is another attractive site to view all your account activity and details and is very easy to use.
See @steemchiller post and upvote and follow to show love. It gives a ton of information on this tool.

These next two are Chrome Add on extensions that I find very useful. They allow me to get nearly everything I need without leaving the Steemit site.

SteemPlus by @steem-plus
I love this add on because as a minnow it still gives me the ability to change my voting power for every vote simply from the extension.
Check out @steem-plus details here at his post.
