Welcome to Steemit

Great post and I wish steemit had a sticky or pin option because this is one of those special posts. ??

Greetings and welcome! TNSTAAFL (There's no such thing as a free lunch)!  Nothing is free.  ;-)  Energy independence however and no need for utility companies? Yes, please.  Since you have content off steemit.com that is valuable, you should verify yourself.  My new user information below will explain the best ways to accomplish it.

There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit.  Here are some of the best for beginners:

https://steemd.com/  (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats.  You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day.  I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)

https://steem.makerwannabe.com/  (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you.  It is great for meeting new people too.  I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)

https://steemit.chat/  (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit.  There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site.  Come in to network and meet new friends.  You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)

Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here.  If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot.  Check the account's reputation.  If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them.  Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies.  Are they all the same? It's a bot.

Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too.  The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story."  Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer.  Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text.  Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.

Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more.  The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using another public social media account.  For example, I posted my Steemit articles from here through my Twitter account.  Another person posted their Steemit information on their Facebook account.  Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped.  The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify.  If a new account falls within those two categories and fails to verify, it may get blacklisted.

Again, welcome, and I've followed you!  If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.

Welcome to Steemit. You made a great choice joining this awesome community. You’re going to have a great time here. Keep Steeming! If you have any doubts, you can always join Steemit.chat and ask for #help.

Welcome Stefan! 

That's awesome that you're passionate about researching free energy. More people need to hear about the topic. 

This world would be such a different place if it weren't for the rulers it currently has... Everything would be free, if we were truly completely free. There's a reason our waters are poisoned, our food is poisoned, there's so much war, and energy isn't free; it's not just a result of mankind's doing. We've been led to doing so, we've been herded like sheep. 

Let's hope for a better future and of course do our part to help create it.  

Enjoy steemit!
