Editor's Notes
- #3 There are many ways to earn money from writing posts or comments, selling physical or digital products
- #4 You find that it’s quite real very quickly. I tend to recommend that every new user cashes out at least a little bit of their earnings and buy themselves something with it. This not only lets you know it is real and accessible money, but also gets them through the set process of a crypto-wallet, connecting a bank account (,bitcoin debit card, or some other way to directly access the money.) After this first time, the process is a lot less scary and takes way less time to do again (bank accounts usually take 2-3 days to get verified for the first transaction.)
- #5 https://steemit.com/steemit/@sykochica/where-does-the-money-come-from-ambassador-toolkit-item (has numbers from the old economic system, pre December 2016) https://steemit.com/steem/@beanz/where-does-the-money-come-from https://steemit.com/steem/@steemrollin/steem-where-does-the-money-come-from
- #6 Every day there is new Steem printed, with the amount being based on the market cap (which is just the number of shares times the share price.) Voting determines who gets what from the prize pool. Now the prize pool is determined by a 30 day average instead of daily. You’re posts payout earnings into your Steemit wallet when it closes, 7 days after posting.
- #8 Use my post at https://steemit.com/steemit/@sykochica/what-is-cryptocurrency-and-why-it-s-not-scary-ambassador-toolkit-item-1 to get a better understanding and ways to explain cryptocurrencies, blockchains and how it can easily be spent (via debitcards or transfers to your bank.)

- #12 Steemit (the website) uses the Steem Blockchain to store posts, register votes, allocate money from the rewards pool, deposit funds from closed posts to your Steemit wallet and much much more. Busy.org is another way to interact with Steemit but with a different interface. You are able to vote, post, and search like you would, but with a different lookd and feel. There are also a couple other features like a direct messaging system that people prefer over steemit.chat. Steepshot is an instagram like application that can be downloaded from the google store at: https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQauYJ88FrtZx3eMEZrhG7SpGLhN7roWjKequfoHRUiSV/en_badge_web_generic.png
