welcome aboard. It will take awhile to get the hang of things around here. You should follow @qurator to pick up some votes and invest what you can. It makes it a lot easier to earn

Will do. Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to invest. I am hoping to be able to as soon as possible. I was introduced by a friend who has a lot of faith in the site. I will definitely check out qurator. Any other quick newbie tips you might have ? Thanks for your help! :)

just read everything you can about Steemit. You can google just about any question you have. I would also spend time reading other people's posts and commenting. Its a good way to pick up some $$
