Well, it's pretty complicated. Steemit is about communities, content and engagement. Find a community to belong to - artists, women or other Russian speakers. It helps to have people explain all this mess to you bit by bit as you encounter it. Ask specific questions in post comments on steemit topic. And read. A lot. To be honest, there's a lot I don't understand myself and so I continue to learn as well.
If you have any specific questions, I can try and help. Are you on Discord anywhere?
Yes, I am Discodr in steemusa, minnowboosters, slothicorn and few othe rgroups. I am mostly looking for contest to get more exposure , so far it is my plan, cause I do not know other ways to do it :)
It's a good plan. I hang out on PAL, VOTU, minnowbooster... everywhere. :)
