Followed, Upvoted and re-steemed! You may also want to create a #introducemyself or #introduceyourself post that introduces yourself to the Steemit community. It's a good way to let people know who you are, what you do, and what kinda content you want to bring! Be sure to take a quick selfie with steemit.com/username/date to verify to people that you are real! Be sure to check out the content others are posing under new and hot categories. The more you interact, upvote, comment, re-steem, etc., the more people will follow you so you are in their feed. Once you build a following, your posts will start to earn. Remember, you earn off of curating others content also!

Here's a good breakdown of steemit:
