Welcome to SteemIt.
SteemIt has become a challenging place for new accounts. Be sure to check out your account on SteemD before and after you post.
The system is driven by the amount of Steem Power in your account. Accounts with limited Steem Power have very limited resources. You can only post about two times a day.
Note you give about a dozen upvotes a day.
It takes five days for your resources to recharge. This means you need to write just one quality post a day (with a picture).
Have fun on SteemIt
