You start off with minimal rep, that number after your name, it goes up slowly as people with SteamPower vote up your comments and posts, and equally low steempower and as you make steem from votes on comments or votes on posts, depending if you chose to power up 100% or to get liquid steem, and slowly you build up your account so that your votes might allocate a little bit of the daily/ever reward pool to whatever you vote on, the idea is simple and the mechanisms are pretty well thought out. I know you're new to this kinda system as there isn't anything like it, you'll catch on fairly quick, just start with a simple introduction post, you can even upload pictures, and pretty soon it will be full fledged videos I'm sure, but from that introduction post people will probably follow you and whatnot. I got followers and for some reason even one of the founders started following me early on, probably because of my ultracool hatchetface and my badass name, but still ;0.
