Welcome to Steemit. Your first post can be the hardest because you do not know what to do. That's ok though because the community is here to help you out with any questions you might have.

First thing to remember is that the 1st tag on your posts is the most important and cannot be misspelled. If you had put your 1st tag as "introduceyourself" it would have been seen by more people which means that you would get more upvotes and more $... You can always do another introductory post :-)

Here's some links that may help... https://www.steemithelp.net/
