Welcome to Steemit @elizabethh. You will love it :)
A few suggestions:
- Comment a lot. This is the best way to get new followers and be noticed
- Don't be disappointed if your blog posts are lost in the ocean. This is totally normal. The more followers you have, the more attention and money you will get over time
PS: I've followed you and upvoted this post. If you like, you can do the same so we can support each other :)
