I'll get that group sorted out, but if you look down my blogs from a few days ago, there are four 'newbie guides' that may help you figure it all out.
You don't have to be technologically 'ept' to use this platform.
My advice is to write your blogs, interact with people, comment on other blogs that catch your interest, reply to every comment on your posts and have fun. Pretty soon, you'll gain a few followers and it kinda snowballs from there. It starts really slowly... glacial speed, but once it gets going and you make friends, you'll notice your rep rising (the number by your name). THAT is where the magic happens, not the money, that's secondary. Get that reputation up!
Good luck!
Here are a few blogs I made to try to help newbies. I hope you may find them useful. Please don't upvote them, they're past their pay-out and you'd be wasting your voting power. If they are useful and you would have upvoted them, please use those upvotes on another user (possibly one below 30/40 Rep) :)
