Thanks and the secret to success on steemit is written about in posts all the time - firstly make very good quality posts even if they earn zero. Use original content about something you really have to offer and be sure to include either your own photos or give full credit to whoever took the photos. Also very important is to find other bloggers who's work you genuinely like and to read other's posts in earnest and comment sincerely. That's how I've made my best friends because we discover our kindred spirits this way.
Joining groups is very helpful too and there are many to choose from! Look at tags to find current posts on subjects you are interested in and look at the groups those bloggers are a part of to find your people.

And keep with it! I made less than 10 cents for many many posts but I've been posting for 21 months now. Expect it to take 3-6 months to find your place here and make some good connections.

Best of luck!
