First thing to do is get familiar with 'markdown'. There are plenty of tutorials online, these will help you to create quality posts. Also, find somewhere you can get free images for commercial use to backup your own images. Examples include pexels.com and pixabay.com.
Other than that... start posting, oh and find a community / people to chat to. We have a steemit chat available for post promotion and general banter but the majority of people seem to use various discord channels.
Thanks for the reply. I have been watching videos but they all seem to presume one knows something about this social site. What is "Markdown" and where do I find a community to connect with? Thanks again.
So, when you click submit a story to post something. The text you type in that box is based on a thing called markdown. For example if you want text to appear bold you have to type ** text ** with out the spaces and it'll appear like so text here appears bold. This link should provide a better explanation http://commonmark.org/help/
