Hi, glad you found Steem. Welcome!
It can bee a little daunting when you first start out on here, as the dynamics are a little different to other social media sites. Earning consistantly on here is possible, but it can take a little while to build up. Communities are a great way to do this and get support. You earn through upvotes, but everyone has a limited amount they can give out per day and the value of their vote is dependant on their Steem Power (SP).
Tags are important to help your posts get seen. I write the newsletter for and came across one of your posts under the homesteading tag. Besides the
community, you may also be interested in the vibrant,
community which includes homesteading and other alternative lifestyles. I also co-run
for the homeschooling community. It's fairly new, but our main focus is to encourage homeschooling content.
I see you also create music. I'm not as familiar with the communities for this area, but suggest adding the tags #creativecoin and #sonicgroove on your music posts.
When you get chance, consider making an #introduceyourself post to tell us a bit more about yourself and catch some more attention with the tag.
