I recorded my first tutorial video exactly 7 days ago and have since then had many requests to produce more films on specific subjects. Particularly on the subject of effective post promotion.

There are many amongst us and even more yet to join us who seek the answers to Steemit related questions and it seems to me that the clearest and simplest way to answer these questions is through the medium of screen capture videos.

## Using the existing social media sites

Getting the message out to all the other social media platforms is the key to REALLY kickstarting this Steemit revolution.

It is my intention to help people understand a complicated subject by providing clear, informational & professional videos which are pushed out across all the usual suspects of social media platforms.

I have a substantial following from my old days as a video blogger and social media addict, so it is my intention to reach out to all of them now on the platforms they are familiar with.

Though I will also be posting all the tutorials one by one through my main account here.

I have made two tutorial films now, the first of which goes into great detail on the basics of Steemit.

This film is a long one but very useful for complete newcomers.

## Topics covered:

- creating a new account

- getting an account without a phone number (https://anon.steem.network)

- creating your identity - thumbnail, description, location, website...

- understanding rep number

- Steem/Steem Power/Steem Dollars explained

- how the upvote system works

- why is it important to upvote the work of others?

- the advantages of autovoting

- how to set up your steemvoter (https://steemvoter.com)

- understanding the bigger picture during the rise in steem value using the Bittrex Marketplace

- how and why do we resteem posts?

- how to use twitter/facebook/linkedin to your advantage

- understanding the importance of comments

- how to search for certain subjects

- how to make a post

- tips on formatting

- optimising your tagging

- the effects of the latest hardfork

- understanding the NSFW filter

- how to get followers through post promotion

- finding Steemit help sites

- when is the best time to place your upvote?

- understanding the different feeds available on Steemit

- how to find people to follow

- how to use multi-language posts to your advantage

- what is esteem?

My Minnow-friendly Facebook group I refer to in the film can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1281526168558106/

The 2nd Steemit tutorial film I made looks at how to use the speech dictation tool on the mac to speed up your posting process.

I am going to make a great many shorter films (no more than 10mins each) on specific subjects, some of them from the above list because I only touched upon them briefly in my more general introduction film.

One of the few great things about YouTube is the way in which the videos can be presented as playlists or in a grid format, making it much easier to find what you are looking for.  Unlike the current format Steemit accounts permit.

I am still waiting for that decentralised equivalent to YouTube, so for now this is my best option for presenting these tutorials in an efficient and professional manner.

## Why do I want to help the Minnows so much?

I am dedicating so much time and energy towards this idea for a few reasons:

- It's just good Karma really isn't it?  And it feels great to be helping others to financial freedom!

- Every day I am being asked the same questions over and over, so referring Minnows to these films will ultimately save me a bunch of time.

- These same Minnows who watch my films will move quickly up the ranks and it is my hope that they will continue to follow and upvote me even when they are Whales :)

## Up next...

There is much confusion over post promotion - how to use [steemit.chat](https://steemit.chat) and the lesser known [Discord](https://discordapp.com), so it is my intention to explain all of this as clearly as I can in my next film, coming soon on all these different social media channels.

Blessings to you all and please resteem/retweet/repost this news to all your old social media platforms.

HELP IS HERE!
