Hello Esther.
I wrote a little more detail in your earlier post but one thing I neglected to talk about was participation on steem.
This website https://steemd.com/@qweneee shows information about your account. I suggest that you bookmark this if possible.

You have a certain amount of voting power (100%). Every time you vote for a person, that value goes down. Once your account reaches a certain value you have more flexibility on the voting emphasis that you can give. For the present it is just a yes/no option. One should try to vote for posts that you think are good posts and will be popular posts. The more money an article makes the more the voters will share. There is a weighting system so the earlier that you vote for a particular article the more you will receive.

I follow a couple of people daily because they pay incentives to people who vote for their daily steem give-aways:
@lazarescu.irinel
@fogel
@simplemoney
I also vote to replies to me. I cannot tell if I do things the best way but I get paid every day.

Of course .001 SBD isn't a lot of money but every little bit helps.
