It takes time to figure it all out so take your time. My best advice is to post original content, Photography, art work, music, poetry, discussion on crypto currencies. Don't ask for upvotes or follows you will get those with great content. Try to only upvote on 10 posts per day to keep your Voting Power high ... as you accumulate Steem ... power up to Steem Power so that your votes are worth more. Have fun and Welcome to Steemit.

When you start out make sure you comment on really great content so people know you are there.

Join some photography contests hosted by @kus-knee to meet a lot of other grateful people.
