Making An Account & Getting Started On Steemit
I am doing a video series on how to get started on steemit. Today we talk about getting started and setting up an account.
I had made the video for my viewers on YouTube so please forgive the parts where I ask everyone to comment on my articles. Many people suggested I share this video with you all here though so here it is.
To get started on steemit you will need a valid email address and a cell phone. These are only used for setting up an account and will never again be used and will not be saved on steemit.
You will have complete anonymity if you chose. The only information displayed is what you share yourself when setting up your account.
First go to steemit.com and click on the sign up form on the top right corner of the screen.
Next you can create a user name that will be visible to everyone when you post on steemit.
You will need to enter a valid email address and a cell phone number. The cell phone is ONLY used to send you a one time text message. You enter the digits into the field. Your cell phone will not be saved and will never be needed again on steemit. (I stress this based on many concerns I have read).
Now you wait. After a short time your account will be manually approved.
Do not ever lose your password. Copy and paste it into a word file and save it to your computer and an extra storage disk outside your computer. Then print it out as well. If you lose your password, you can never recover your account.
Once your account has been activated you can set up your home page and personalize it. I wrote an article about that here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@thediyworld/using-steem-for-noobs
Write your first post, introducing yourself to the steemit community.
Find articles you like and give them a vote up. Write comments related to anything that interests you. If someone feels that you deserve it, or like your work, you will get an up vote as well.
Voting is how people gain in reputation and gain steem dollars. But I will be explaining this and commenting in more detail in the next article.
Watch the video I made about how to get started on steemit here:
Please Subscribe & follow my daily YouTube videos
Read my articles at The Do It Yourself World
Please ignore the nasty comments below.
Please help offset them by posting positive and related comments, fitting this article
Trolls from YouTube have found me here.
Please do not engage the trolls. Dont give them the attention they seek
Help me drive the trolls posts down by commenting here.
Thank you
I really enjoy your YouTube channel. You have a really good channel with great content. Don't let the trolls get you down. Ignore them if you can. They are just a bunch of jealous losers .
Wont that just make YOU fake money? And again you followers wont get anything
Steem dollars can be traded for USD. If you are not happy here, please leave.
You invited me here and I'm enjoying it. Just have yet to see anyone pull actual cash out yet. Again thanks for the invite
@bigjeff............. here is some food for thought ............ IS STEEMIT A HOAX
New, unsuspecting visitors need to ask, why does Troy Reid, aka thediyworld, aka trtechtactical, aka diy-electronics, aka blogger101, need to write this Disclaimer on every article.
Besides up voting himself to make pennies, he fails to tell the truth himself.
Trolls did NOT Just Find Me Here as he wants you to believe.
He brought his victims here the exact same way You are here.
With a self serving video to dupe you into making HIM Money, NOT YOU!
Buyer Beware!

Not smart to lie about the baby crying on your last video now your new follower on steemit may belive all the negative comments they read bout you. Just be honest to the viewer and whats more important to yourself!!! As mentioned at your last vid babies cry thats normal and sometimes its not convenient in a situation but to deny it and say it was a cat was a HUGE mistake. Good luck on the shitstorm!
We simply make daily videos of our lives on the homestead.
If you do not like us, simply leave and find something else to entertain you.
Harassing us is criminal.
I thought the video was informative as I am new to Steemit. A series of tutorials would be helpful to my understanding of the White Paper which tries to spell things out, but can leave a lot to the imagination. I appreciated the first two tutorials and I look forward to more as you produce them.
Thank you. I have a few more videos and articles on the way.
I love your videos and articles. I find it amusing that the trolls had to follow you here. They are self righteous individuals. They feel that they have purpose in telling your followers that you are no good, when infact they are the morons. Haha Like I'm gonna listen to some moron that is trying to stab their fellow man in the back.
Thank you. I find it sad that they spend so much time and energy harassing people.
If they do not like what I do, they can simply leave and find something else to do.
If I do not like someone's content I am sure not going to visit them again.
@thediyworld THEN WHY DID YOU INVITE YOUR SO CALLED TROLLS OVER HERE TO STEEM AND WHY DID YOU MAKE THE YOU TUBE VIDEO STATING THAT IF WE COMMENTED WITH OUR NAMES WE WOULD BE UN-BLOCKED AND UNCENSORED ON YOUR YOU TUBE CHANNEL ???? SEEMS TO ME YOU WANT THEM HERE , SEEING AS HOW YOU ASKED THEM HERE .
You're wrong @thediyworld, people do not like your lies.
Please do NOT engage the trolls. For your own good. They can down vote you and destroy you on this community.
Let me deal with them.
I am hoping that by filling my blog with positive and good comments, we can push the bad stuff down lower on the page.
I will take care of the harassment through proper channels.
doc hit you hard and hurt your reputation. I fixed it for now but please do not engage them.
I would very much appreciate any help though in positive comments or conversations.
These I will vote up, pushing the bad stuff down.
Let the trolls show their own real faces with their hate, lies and negativity while we take the high ground.
Thank you.
@thediyworld, You don't "take the high road", that's why you invited people here to do your dirty work.
You can't make money on YouTube due to poor content, and you're not making it here on Steemit either.
Another reason why you Up Vote your own comments and with Your Multiple Accounts.
"Pushing Down" comments doesn't do shit.
The comments are still there, even the ones You flagged and made grey!
Unfortunately your version of "let me deal with it" is to DELETE, just like a butt hurt 8 year old.
Stop the lies.
Your viewers that come here are not stupid.
They'll figure you out once they get here!
stabbing people in the back is a standard tactic for troy. You must be new to his channels.
well when you listen to @thediyworld you ARE listening to someone who routinely stabs people in the back daily. troy is the self righteous narcissists here...
@thediyworld, I am confident defrauding your Patreon subscribers for an entire year is criminal.

So what court are you a judge in? I bet your in your mommys basement on mommys computer. haha
Damn someone turned the chihuahua loose. Watch your shoe strings- he could be dangerous. hahahahhhaahah
@michealrock747................... YOUR'E NOT YOUR . FOR SOMEONE THAT IS SO CRITICAL OF US , SEEMS YOU COULD AT LEAST GET BASIC ENGLISH SKILLS CORRECT WHEN COMMENTING
Why do you call people trolls when all they are doing is either calling you out on something you said or asks a question...Troy your living in that summer kitchen. Do you have an occupancy permit to do so and why would you buy a place that is mouse infested. And the last question. Why does the county have no record of you owning that place..
Thank you
Awww, another troll joined the team to try to run a smear campaign. Go ahead and turn me in then. Oh, you already did, didnt you.
It is a blizzard, a blizzard and life threatening!
I can already hear the BS.
Luv it when he says its snowing heavily. He has the camera on the snowfall and we can see that its just normal snowfall but to mrs drama queen its time to call fema for some help. And of course idiot subs that can't stand to see troy sitting by a cold drafty window looking out at the gentle snowfall
thats his only attempt at content.....drama, real content and doin a good job on projects would require more work than he is willing to muster
They have no life, these kinda people are the ones that have police scanners so that they can call in crimes just to hear themselves on the scanner.
@daleb, See, you're already labled a troll by Reid @thediyworld!!
Good job!
Reid has no integrity to explain things.
He only knows how to passively aggressively attack back.
If you're lucky, maybe he will invite you to his house to see him "face to face so you can piss your pants" like he did me.
Im calling you a troll too or an ass whichever you like, cause both titles fit you
Troy wants to cash in his steempie, but cant ! cause if does he loses power and then will get steam rolled and destroyed and he knows it. thats why he is suckering and begging people into joining him here. because he needs to cash out to pay the lectric bill and get the propane tanks filled. HE IS JUST USING PEOPLE like always.

How many times are you gonna post the same thing. Go get a life
As many as he wants. He is a guest of Troy's he was invited
Thanks for the info.
Happy to be of service :)
Great post
Thank you :)
Very informative video Troy. I really enjoy most of your videos; keep up the GREAT work!!
Thank you. I am working on anther steemit article tonight.
BEWARE OF THIS USER, UPSET HIM AND HE WILL WANT TO FIGHT WITH YOU.
HE ALSO SLEEPS WITH A LOADED SHOTGUN UNDER HIS BED, WHAT KING OF ENVIRONMENT IS THAT FOR A YOUNG DEFENCELESS ASIAN WOMEN WITH A NEW BORN BABY.
Don't be taken in by TR the monkey.
Troy Reid, better know as TR, Trog, Leatherhead* (because of his dirty stinking greasy old hat that he wears every place he goes even in the house) Turkey Head, Fruit Loops and more, is a full time ebegger, scammer and a fraud.
He has a band of dedicated goons on his YouTube channel that send him their money because he refuses to get a job.
His 100k subs on YouTube, I believe are mostly bought hence the reason for only 2 or 3 thousand views of his no content video.
I think what has amazed me the most since he has been on here is just how nasty he is, throwing random accusations at everyone because he can't delete their comment.
Trogs story of scanning and stupidity is a long one, he is the only YouTuber I know that has a superb dedicated .sucks site, it is definitely the best place to gen up on his evil doings.
Come on over, everyone is friendly, it's not the place Reids suckers make it out to be.

.sucks is closed at the moment but there is loads of information in the introductory pages.
*some say his hat is made of kangaroo cock skin but this has not been verified.

I sleep with a loaded pistol under my pillow for jagoffs like you that go medling where they shouldnt be
Oh look, another follow of Troy (if it's not an alt account of Troy himself) THREATENING VIOLENCE! Troy and his minions sure are a violent lot.
flag his comments
@joythedog its fun greying out this michael idiots violent & slanderous comments...
Bet the pistol is for when you finally get the nerve to end your sad troy loving life. Welcome to steemit where we ALL make a shit ton of money just like troy
it must be a hard life knowing you made so many enemies you need to sleep with a gun under your pillow. i for one fill safe at home and around town. yes i own a lot of guns but not because im scared like you. maybe there is some underlying mental issue you should get reviewed. we wouldn't want you to go nuts and shoot up a mall thinking the innocent are after you like you do here.
@michealrock747 I CONSIDER THIS POST TO BE THREATENING NATURE AND ASK MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO FLAG IT .
Hello fellow YouTubers. Thanks for showing up here.
Some good info. thanks
Hope it helps some people :)

Don't you think you got your post noticed the first time. A real troll post more than once the same thing. Oh wait, you must be a troll then.
All troys viewers are trolls. You fit in great. Welcome to the money making channel
Thanks for going over the Steemit info.
Happy to help :)

Listen to the first second of @thediyworld ‘s new video today.
https://hooktube.com/watch?v=8kznJ6S39mA
His baby daughter can be clearly heard crying and he gets mad. Then he later lied about the whole thing on steemit, claiming it was a kitten making the noise. Troy Reid just cannot stop lying.

Downloaded and sent to the welfare dept looking at his case!
welfare wont do anything if he aint on welfare. You must have their number on speed dial, when you check to see if your food stamps are in
Those guys are so crazy. They continue to turn me in to any and every authority they can think of in hopes of making something stick one day.
I keep telling them that YouTube pays my bills. And they are right here on steemit trying to reduce my income here too. They openly declare they want to destroy my life.
One day I hope to find legal help. They have given me all the info I ever need to win a court case.
he is not talking about the welfare troy relies on to feed his family deer corn and stray cats, he is talking about the child protection agency that makes regular checkups to see if the child is still alive
So if Troy's child cries in the middle of the night, he says, "go back to sleep Melanie, it's just the cat..." ???
More on the way.
It was a cat, because I was there at the time of filming
troy just retracted his many denials and said we were correct, it was the kid. Egg on your face much?
He is the one that truly loves trog for his intelligence but then having an IQ of 3 doesn't really work well for him. His mommy probably created this acct for him to have something to do besides jack off
@michaelrock747 Which one of T-liar’s goons on youtube are you?
wow really... you really want to flat out lie about being at troys home during this video? when it has already been proven it was the baby crying.... just goes to show what kind of person you are.
Yup the prop is making too much noise. Just shows what it must be like to live with this con man
That is a baby not a cat. Maybe if you spent more time as a father and not hiding from being a parent you could tell the diffrence between cat and child
Parent is spelled P-A-R-E-N-T
@michaelrock747 why do you attack others for spelling errors but not troy when he mistakenly and repeatedly typed the wrong years he supposedly served in the army? or all the misspelled words he makes? kind of one sided don't you think. by the way it is me who is greying out all your comments for slanderous lies and trolling. you may as well give up because it is my mission to keep your steem channel down so long as you are trolling and on my mind ;)
@michaelrock747 That was a typo. You must be as dopey as T-scammer.
Poor little michaelrock didn't get the meaning behind bigjeff's comment. I find really smart people's brains work much faster than their fingers can type, hence the obvious spelling errors now and then. If little michaelcock could overlook the spelling and get the thought behind the comment he would learn a thing or two.
Using that OUTDOOR stove inside is DANGEROUS to that baby!!!! Are the FUMES hurting her eyes? Throat? Crying could be from using an OUTDOOR stove inside!!
Unreal! Then to blame it on a cat lmfaoooooo. Hummmmm the cats meow at times and he keeps filming no problem. His daughter cries and hes annoyed because she needs attention and taking the spot light off him. Its going to be a long road for her. His infant daughter inconvenienced him. Unbelieveable.
Welcome to Steemit new unsuspecting visitors!
Please join us in unwrapping the LIES Reid portrays in his daily videos.
Reid says he has "fun" here, which is not true.
The real fun is with the real folks who have been blocked and banned by Reid for asking questions about his deceptive business practices on YouTube.
