Hey James.

This was my introduction post back in January: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@my-permaculture/hello-everybody

And Hive account@theferalone made this great write up with all essentials for the steemit beginner. https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@theferalone/field-guid-to-steemit-how-it-works-and-how-to-survive-your-first-30-days. The ammount of information can be overwhelming, but it will all fall in place.

Just for you to know. Keep your voting power percentage in the range of 70% to 100% (Which equals an average of 10 uvotes per day). [All important info about an account here: https://steemworld.org/@my-permaculture , just replace my name in the link with your name behind the @] With every vote your voting power falls and it regenerates at a constant pace. Also don't post more than 4 posts a day, as you will not be payed from the fifth post in 24h on.

Feel free to reach out when ever you want. Also on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/myPermacultureMoritz or by mail where i wrote you.
