Easy Step By Step: How To Post On Steemit And Earn. By Gregory Mannarino
Hello everyone! Especially those who are new to the Steemit family, this is for you...
Here I am going to walk you through exactly how to place a post on Steemit and start earning passive income 24/7.
Once your account is set up, and this can take several days (you will receive an email from Steemit informing you that the account was set up). Tip: check your spam folder as well.
After your account is set up, look in the upper right corner of your page.
Look for this and click on it: 
Then your page will look like this: 
Now simply drop in a title: 
Next, place your content here: 
Now select relevant tags, up to five: 
Tags will put your content in the proper category-Steemit has lots of them. Plus it helps people find your content.
Once you are finished hit "Post." 
Boom you are done!
And now you can start earning....

Already started using it, have earned a few pennies so far, but it can snowball eventually I bet :)
initiating snowball...
Time and effort. You'll also have slow and busy periods. The key really is to focus on enjoying yourself and posting things you are interested in. If you are interested in them other people likely will be too and you'll gather followers. You can earn without followers, but your earning becomes more consistent as your followers increase. The important thing is to have fun and not focus on how much you do or do not make. I made $0 on many posts I put a lot of time into when I started back in July.
Thanks for posting this.
I started to get all caught up in the details and realised I was anxiously stewing over all of the various elements of posting to maximise earnings.
This morning, as I was doing the washing, I came to this same realisation.
I'm just going to have fun.
Yes, you'll make money. I promise you. Yet removing the worrying about "how much" you make will make it enjoyable. The people I see that are the most unhappy almost always are about not making as much as someone else, not making anything, or asking for people to give them votes.
They don't seem to last. I didn't make a lot on most of my posts starting out and I started out when it was $4/steem so some people were making insane amounts for a post.
A girl makes over $30,000 on a make up tutorial and suddenly we're flooded with other people making make up tutorials. For the time and the amount of people using the platform that type of payout was unsustainable.
I never have had a post over $1000 though I have been here through those times.
My best ever actually was three comments in a row that I wrote where I used poetry as my response on my other account @chaospoet. I made close to $900 total on those three COMMENTS. That's still my personal best.
Most of my posts were under $1 back then, and many were $0. I just started writing things I was interested in, and using this place as kind of a repository for my mind.
Over time I gather followers. I also try to improve my skills and learn more about myself.
I am still not usually on the Trending page, I think I've been number 2 or 3 before there when payouts were at an all time low so it maybe gave me $20 or so. But I do tend to make at least something from every post I make now.
That is pretty cool. Though ultimately I don't care. I have never powered down my steem power. I just post and enjoy it, and become more and more attached to this wonderful community.
Welcome, and I wish you a similar but uniquely you journey.
Yes, and thank you for this info.
Yes it will,snowball if you are consistent!
Oh wow, thanks all for upvotes!
best way of earning more precious then facebook great idea!
Final step, make munny.
Hi Greg,
let me add this:
good post :)
Yep that first tag is a very big deal on here. I screwed up a few of my posts. Lol
same did I, luckily I didn't take to long to recognize it. The platform is made really good.
I added a small Tutorial, addressing the formatting of text:

Thanks Greg for introducing us to steemit!
Great stuff right!
Thanks from me too!
Great! You should do more tutorial vids on the earning of STEEM vs STEEM POWER and STEEM Dollars. This is still a little confusing for me right now.
I will do that. Yes.
Simple and to the point!
I'd add that you need to do a few other things:
-make sure what you're posting is high quality and original. Because you're actually assessed on your value add and it's public knowledge, it's worth it to make sure you're not just "robot-ing" the system.
-know that posting isn't everything. You need to interact through comments, upvotes, and shares and constantly ask, "How do I add value to Steemit?"
-I'd also recommend adding a video to every post you make.
-Finally, I think it's probably worth adding a few links to other posts you like at the bottom of your post. That makes it easier for your readers to continue to find the value that you add.
Thank you, very good information!
Thanks for making it sound simple. Can you post video from youtube too? or your own video from youtube?
Sure can.
Nice post. Thank you for helping all of us new to Steemit.
You are more than welcome.
