Hello welcome to steemit. STEEMIT is a very good educative platform. It is not just a platform but a community. For the first part of this year, I advice you don't focus on the money as steemit is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You should just focus on discovering yourself, exploring and making friends. Taking part in challenges, posting quality post and commenting on people's post will help. Be sure to follow me to learn more.
