Welcome to Steemit @ammynatural
One of the things that I really try to tell new people, especially if they're not used to blockchain-based platforms is to focus on your content creation. Trust me - you are not going to learn everything overnight and you'll go insane if you try to.
Post - COMMENT - Curate
You should be spending the bulk of your Steemit time leaving thoughtful comments on the platform. The real people will appreciate the feedback and eventually check you out.
Another note: When I first started here, my comments actually earned more than my posts, so don't be discouraged, okay? Good luck!
ps - you can also find me on Whaleshares ;)
Thank you
