Welcome to Steemit. I think you'll like it here - though for me, it was a slow start. Took about 4 - 6 weeks to really get going.
Some suggestions that helped me:
- Try to post every day if possible, just have fun with it.
- Keep things simple for now, don't burn yourself out
- Comment on other's posts and respond to comments - it makes you visable and you could get an upvote
- There are contests and giveaways to check out, even if you dont win, you get more visibility.
Best wishes!
Thank you for the welcome and the helpful tips. I'm still trying to figure this all out and any tips are welcome. :)
