Welcome @andrewagostini. Having watched your video, I can definitively say that you'll be a great addition and contributor to the Steem community.

As an early adopter, things can get a bit frustrating as you're ahead of the curve and the network effect has yet to really take off. However, by being early, you put yourself in an opportune position both financially and socially if Steem displaces the major centralized social networks of our childhood.

So here are some recommendations I have:

• See if there are any local Steem meetups in your area and check them out. While I don't really use Steem to socialize (I'm more in it for discussion and information), it's still a social network and the more connections you have to other users the better.
• Try to identify interesting accounts/authors to follow. You're not likely to find many quality posts by just browsing trending and new, so it's essential that you follow the accounts that post high quality original content (which can be few and far between).
• Comment on posts. This will help grow your followers and could get you upvotes.
• Grow your influence. Your experience on the platform will improve with more STEEM Power (technically vests since Power is an illusion). Currently, you have an insignificant, puny amount of power. You can either work your way up or make an investment. I recommend doing both.
• Make sure to convert SBD to STEEM (since SBD are currently worth more than a dollar, which is likely a temporary anomaly). You can do this with the built-in exchange (i.e. trustlessly on the blockchain). Also I recommend powering up your STEEM into vests, which is what gives you influence. The only reason to hold STEEM versus Power is if you plan on spending it. Power takes 13 weeks to fully convert into the liquid STEEM.

So hopefully this contains some advice to get you off the ground running!
