Thank You For Your Support and For Honoring Me With Your Up Vote...
Some of you know,
I started to be active only one month ago and I did a lot of mistakes
on my first as any beginner.
With the great support fom steemit community,
I think I am on the right way!
I wrote this post to share with newbies from my little experience,
the 3 golden rules that I think it is important for any newbie.
The Golden Rules:
I --> Stop Comparing Yourself To Others!
This may be difficult to execute at first, but just try reminding yourself,
that others worked hard and deserves it as well.
II --> Respect the 30 minute rule!
At 0 seconds after the post is made, you are penalized 100% of your reward. ( This decreases linearly till 30 minutes after the post, where the penalty is 0. The penalty fee goes directly to the author. At this moment, the penalty is linear. I.e. 100% at 0 seconcds, 50% penalty at 15 minutes, 0% penalty at 30 minutes.
This leads to an interesting dilemma. By waiting 30 minutes, you avoid any penalties. However, the post could explode with upvotes within these 30 minutes, and you are left with a negligible share at the end of it, penalties or not.

III --> Be well informed!
As I see, some of newbie do not understand exactly what is steemit.
In this post I will try to line out this project.
So, What Is Steemit ?!
History:
The project was founded in 2016 by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer, creator of BitShares.
Concept:
The idea was described in a whitepaper in March 2016.
The general concept is similar to other blogging websites or social news websites like Reddit , but the text content is saved in a blockchain . Images and other multimedia content must be embedded from other websites.
Members can upvote good content, and the authors who get upvoted can receive a monetary reward in a cryptocurrency named Steem and two other tokens named Steem Dollars and Steem Power .
People are also rewarded for curating popular content.
Curating involves upvoting submissions and comments.
Monetary system:
--> Steem
Steemit is based on a cryptocurrency named Steem . This currency is similar to Bitcoin , using Proof of work as a consensus mechanism. However, it does only reward miners with a small part of the rewards created in each block; the rest is paid to authors and curators .
Steem has a inflationary supply model: every year the monetary base doubles, but all three-and-a-half years the Steem reward per block is lowered at a rate of 1:10.
Steem's blockchain is the base for two more tokens: an asset called Steem Dollars , which is intended to be pegged at the United States dollar and is used for a part of the payout to authors and curators , and Steem Power.
Steem and Steem dollars can be freely traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.
--> Steem Power
Steem Power is an influence token and roughly represents the percentage of influence a certain user has compared to the rest of the community, measured in Steem. It cannot be traded directly, but can be converted to Steem in 13 weekly payments. This method is called Powering down .
Members at the start are awarded a small amount of Steem Power. They have the option of buying more Steem Power with Steem tokens, using an option called powering up .
In order to reward members, 9 units of Steem Power are distributed pro rata over all Steem Power holders, per unit of Steem which is created, thereby maintaining the monetary value of Steem Power. This discourages long term holding of Steem.
The more Steem Power a member has, the higher the impact of his votes on other content is. If a person has enough Steem Power, his votes will result in the author of the upvoted content being rewarded in additional Steem Power, and additionally in Steem dollars.
--> Steem dollars
The Steem dollar is an asset intended to be pegged to the US dollar. Steem dollars can be traded at cryptocurrency exchanges and used for payments of goods and services.
There is an exchange integrated in the Steemit website, where Steem can be traded to Steem Dollars. A user owning Steem dollars also can convert Steem Dollars directly into Steem in a process that lasts approximately a week, or he can keep them in his web wallet.
Steem dollars which are held receive an interest rate. Initially it is set at 10% annually, but if Steem dollars become worth more than US dollars, interest payments will be halted. If Steem dollars are being traded below parity with the dollar and the supply of Steem dollars is not too high relative to the liquid Steem supply, the interest rate will rise.
If a person chooses to convert his Steem dollars to Steem he can do two things with this Steem: Sell or use the Steem as a cryptocurrency, or convert them into Steem Power.
