Welcome to the SteemIt World. One of the sayings here is "Come for the money. Stay for the community." Unfortunately, most people who come here won't leave with a horde of money. However, if you get connected into the community aspect, you will rich in friends. How do you get connected to the community? You visit other people's blog posts and comment on them. The key is comment, comment, comment.

Unfortunately, being new has it's issues. If you are like most people you do not have a lot of Steem Power. Because of this you will not be able to comment as much as you would really like. This is because your Resource Credits have to build up after using them. You can track that information here: https://steemd.com/@paulavasquez

Try not to allow your Resource Credits (RC) go below 80% and same with your voting power. This will allow it to build back up over a few days. Frustrating I know, but once you find your place. You can find your place by looking at the tags you are most interested in.

Here's a really good article that might help and encourage you. https://steemit.com/steem/@meno/open-letter-to-a-future-steemian

Hope this helped.
