A little advice from me is also new.

• Create steemit like blog in general, place of writing, can write turorial, poetry, song, place to pour heart, diary, and others.

• Do not think about making money in steemit (although the general purpose is that), because if you only think about money, when our writing does not get a positive response from Whales, we will be lazy to write.

• Follow the steemian friends who often hold the contest, this is important for beginners, because generally beginner's difficulty is to find an idea of what they will write today, So by looking at contested topics of the contest maybe we will find the idea of the theme contest.

• Do not think about followers problem, over time they will grow on their own.

• And lastly, do not be embarrassed if your English is ugly :D, because there are still many out there who are uglier than us, the most important is the willingness to continue.

The above suggestion is my personal experience, maybe other steemian friends have different experiences.
