Welcome to Steemit and good luck! I wish you all the best and I hope you will find here what you are looking for ;)
I am also new so I don't much to advice but I hope you will find lot of good and interesting people like I did. I joined this platform as someone told me it is good place to make some little money from what I love to do. Couple of days later I realised I don't care for that one at all and what is more important for me is some nice and good quality content and people who share same interests like me... Kind of something I am missing on Facebook and other platforms... ;)
