Hello @lyrieth, so glad you made it here. It’s so nice to know you are a natural born writer who writes out self thoughts and inspiration. Yeah that’s exactly what the platform is all about, being original. But to be frank with you , Originality has its elevations and promotions but not for you as a beginner.

There are lots of steps to be taken before it gets to that and believe me if you follow this little advice I’m about to give you now , you won’t get lost or get frustrated when the upvotes aren’t coming by creating contents and not making connection. How do you make connections/friends on steemit, it is basically by communication

Welcome to this amazing platform, this platform as far as it is concerned can change your life through rewarding great content but it isn’t the platform the rewards you, people on the platform do through the platform so this has brought me down to tell you the importance of connection and communication on this platform

Communication is a key factor when it comes to all types of relationship , be it interpersonal or inter communal relationship. Without communication then I wonder how two or more people could make plans either for self development or general development. Communication has presented itself as the only way to relate with others.

The key to success on this platform is communication through commenting , this is what you basically need as a starter, make friends , join communities as you’d get to find out different types of communities on this platform as you explore posts. Trying to add value to you by impacting this knowledge unto you. Take this from me and you shall be successful on this platform, welcome again

Take this advice from me and you shall find your way quickly through the ocean as that’s what I’d love to call steemit for the sake of this explanation. Welcome again and I wish you luck, remember to make lots and lots of friends before creating contents so you’d have friends to upvote them when you make contents.
