Welcome to Steemit @ladybexxa! Alaska is a beautiful place, even though I've never been there. We have a few other steemians from Alaska, @shasta is one.

The best way to get ahead on Steemit is to join one of the Discord servers and network, ours is here: https://discord.gg/e5XFZKa
There you will find people to help you figure Steemit out and get ahead.

Best wishes from the Steemit Blogger Central community. Upvoted!
