Writing this was a good first start ;p
I'm still a baby on this site and a caveman when it comes to the internet so you'll find better advice by finding articles posted by steemers who know way more than me. That said, this platform is all about starting conversations and making connections. The more time you spend reading and appreciating the work others posed and the more loving, critical, inspiring or insightful comments you leave them the more connections you make and the more visible you become. After that, its up to your creative mind to use this platform as you see fit. Be you (just a really really good and interesting and informative or cute or visionary you lol). Unique and original content is what is prized most of all, but from what I've seen if you don't sing loud and stand out its all to easy to be lost in the sea of posts
