A VIDEO FOR NEW USERS

One of and the first of many videos we're working on to help new users. So I (@jarvie) took an old acquaintance who found his way to Steem and explained 68 different subjects to him Thanks @paulmp and you're a beneficiary of this post. (Go check out his great photography)

WHAT IS THE IDEA OF THIS VIDEO?

Audience = New users... aka if you're reading this... it's your friends. But you can brush up on things if you want.

This is the kind of video that is meant to be a very thorough explanation of Steem, the kind of video that gives the user a foundation they can answer most of their own questions from then on out. I'll likely do a series just going through steempeak pages for new users.

However if you have any requests for videos that will help YOUR FRIENDS let me know. And this is the important part... these videos are meant for NEW users. Let me know if you as a new user are helped by these videos. Share it with a friend and see if it answered their questions. Let us know what things still confuse them. We can keep working on it until we have a good solid option.

WE NEED MORE CONTENT FOR NON-STEEMIANS

Feel free to watch on 1.5x speed... that's how i re-watched it If you do watch it let me know what you think... if parts of Steem still confuse you maybe it may help and let me know if it irons out any questions you have had for a while. That will help when making future content. I remember last year when I started I feel like every video or blog I read to help learn about steem was just full of misinformation or get rich quick schemes. I haven't checked recently but I think we need to be pumping out some really good solid information.

FUTURE SHORTER VIDEOS

With that said I'm trying to force myself to do a shorter introduction videos after this which will be easier knowing they have a place to go get a really solid foundational knowledge for a new user who has enough interest in steem to commit to watching a longer form video. Now i'll have to make shorter videos that peak their interest and have more teaser type stuff.

ASK A QUESTION

I'm also interested in doing some Q&A videos so ask a question in the comments and they may end up in a video.

WITNESS

Now's probably a nice time to remind you that we run a witness server to help process the blocks for the Steem Blockchain. You can vote for our witness so we are in a position to process more of them.

This works for all witnesses BTW

• Using Keychain: You just have to click and approve the transaction
• Using SteemConnect: You'll need access to copy paste the Active Key at least.
