Thank you for visiting my blog. Yes I try to help out newcomers as much as I can. Many come to this platform and do not have a clue...I sure was lost when I started. I try to take a positive approach in offering suggestions. There are some that have been on the platform who have no social skills and are outright rude. I had to mute a couple when I started.
First it takes time to build steem power (SP) . Some of us bought steem to get started when it was $0.20 or less. Many start earning by visiting other's posts and upvoting (even if little SP), but more importantly by commenting. Good comments can generate SP. Have to wait 7 days before it shows up in your wallet so be patient. Some do a lot of re-steeming, but that works best from my experience when you build a following.

Read through some of the introduction posts to see how others did an introduction of who you are. you can go to: https://steemit.com/trending/introduceyourself

I spent some time on Steemit before I did an introduction. Some do one early on and then do another when they are more familiar with the format.

I recently read an article that would be perfect for you to review for newcomers. Check out:

Hope this helps. let me know when you do an introduction post and I will check it out and resteem.
