Usually, a beginner joins because someone brought him here. Ask him specifically for guidance. That is the maximum result.
In my opinion, there is no special skill here, but rather the skill of conveying ideas through writing that is appropriate to the topic of discussion so that it makes it easier for everyone to understand.
Not all are like that because some found this forum by themselves and didn't get introduced to Bitcoin and also this forum just like me although most of the newbies who created an account here are like that where they are introduced to Bitcointalk and Bitcoin. Well, that's what should someone do which is to ask guidance to whoever make OP know this forum. There's no better way than that except searching for your own good.
If a newbie was introduced to the forum by someone, am sure they might not have the opportunity of getting to know about everything on this forum at once, as to say the fact, it's even what we have we can give others, this means that some people recommend others to join the forum while they themselves know little or nothing much about the forum, as long as a newbie landed here, all he needs to first do is to read the forum's rules and regulations to know what's in for him here, if he sees he can cope and stay, then he can request for directions from other experienced members or make use of the search button to explore the forum.
