Ah, no! You need to repost this in #introduceyourself ! No one will see it where you posted it.

My brief introduction guide I wrote for new users I want to succeed:

Steemit's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments on their posts!

There are also a lot of really good resources out there for minnows (new users). You should check out the following:

@qurator
@thesteemengine
@originalworks
@steembasicincome
@minnowsupport

Tagging is also super important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. (You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general to fill the quota if you need to be- most of your tags should be established ones, too.

Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also finish your profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be of you, necessarily, but you should have something. You should also set either your blog or your photo portfolio- probably the latter- as the website linked to in your profile.

You can check out my profile for examples of a lot of this stuff!

And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on steemit- you've got to find your way there through perserverance and hard work. It takes a while.
