Setting up a Miner
One option to earn Steem is by mining. It rewards when you set up your computer to join the peer-to-peer network and validating transactions. 1% of Steem Power rewards goes to the miners. In the Steem official site there is a step by step instrucion page: How to mine Steem. Bellow, some tips from other steemians.
Linux
Using Linux is the most common method of mining, better documented and easier to setup. Probably the best starting point is the post Mining Steem for Dummies. Actually a bunch of the steps on that guide are no longer needed and the post Steem Miner Setup in Ubuntu 15.10 / 16.04 is a good one for ubuntu users.
