Hive account@mariande, When I first started, I wanted to post every few hours. Lol. I've heard you should do no more than 4 posts a day. Don't know a lot about the internals of steemit. I can tell you, that I'm addicted to it. I so enjoy meeting new users like yourself. You will do well if you start commenting like crazy and be loyal to the same users. Its not hard because if you like the original content of a user, you will want to return to read their newest post. Be clever with your comments and look at it as a part time job that doesn't pay. You're now a steemit intern.
