My sugestion to how start is:

Try to post about things you like, or that's is happening in your life, your expectations and plans to the future.

ilustrate your post with photos and images, people use to valorize when you share original content, so do not worry to share your personal stuff.

at the beginning you don't need to make huge posts couse you have little reach so if you spend like 4 hours making a post and it end up with just 8 view you might feel demotivated

Try to engage as much as you can commenting relevant or even funny things in others post, this might lead you to get new followers and make new friends.

be active every day posting at least once and commenting a lot.

I think with this first steps you might be able to start well and them see for yourself what works better for you and follow it ^^

Steem on!!!
