@g-no, what you wrote in this article would have helped me out tremendously when I joined Steemit about 3 weeks ago. I have learned a lot, primarily by messing up first and then googling for answers.

It seems like that if you did not have a following on social media before you arrived or do not already know a dolphin or whale, then you gonna have a hard uphill battle to make it.

I plan to keep pressing on, but it is tough!
