Hello, Stephiene, and Welcome to Steemit.

You'll find that it's an excellent platform to "learn and grow." In many respects, it's more than a blogging platform or a social network – it's a publishing community.

So, you'll be able to read posts by others about many subjects that interest you. At the same time, you can create post about your own passions and interests.

If you create high-quality posts, you will slowly but surely attract a community of followers, and eventually, you will reach a point where you will be able to say that you have "succeeded" on Steemit.

But even before that, you will be able to say that the Steemit journey is a wonderful experience. Enjoy it!

Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.

1. Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2. Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3. Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4. Be yourself.
5. Be interesting and informative.
6. Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7. Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!
