Hello @tilor64 and welcome to the great world of steemit in here you can pass along your knowledge to the people and help them, and in doing so you can help yourself a little to.

In here as in the fisic world is good to have community, not just one but plenty that you can interact with and make friends.
I want to talk to you about one of those community is called @steemjet our main goal is global Steem adoption, this through getting knowledge about Steen and Cryptos to the brokers and the children.
In steemit we have a lot of contest to do the same goal, give some to the ones who deserve it. You can see the different contests in @dimimp, @steemjet and very soon in @steemjetcontests
We have a lot of them where you can show your talents or find new ones that you never knew.

An advice That i'm gonna give you, do your post from you heart and don't do it for the reward, a good post with a lot of heart in it will attract rewards along the way.
My regards from Venezuela. I'm part of #SpaceForce7 and the #welcome team of @steemjet.
