Hello fellow Quratorite, (I'm sticking with this until I get outvoted. If your not sure what that means check out the latest edition of The Daily Qurator) I saw that your post was featured as the Qurator resteem of the day post and came to check it out. This is great advice for new Steemians! All five points you make are excellent, especially number 2.
If I might add a sixth point, engage in meaningful commenting of others posts to build relationships and potentially gain revenue. But the key word is meaningful.

A good point indeed!
