Hello @rosealeen
I found you via @itsrachel. Welcome to Steemit!
Just a tip for yoru introduction post. Go to edit post, then change your hastags to introduceyourself, introducemyself and introduction. Then save the post.
Next go to the url of your post then delete https//: and put re before steemit.com/introductionpost/@rosealeen/introduction This sends your post to a resteeming service which will give it a restart. You don't have to donate to the service for them to share your post. You can only earn rewards on a post for 7 days, so don't do what I just did with Rachel's post and reshare a post older than 7 days. ( I wasn't payou attention. Much facepalm)
Next order of business is to look up @teamsouthafrica and ask to join. When you're part of Team South Africa you use #teamsouthafrica as one of your hastags. That makes it possible for south africans to find you as well as for them to upvote you.
When getting started spend a lot of time commenting on other people's work, but do not ask for upvote for upvote or follow for follow. It just clogs up your feed.
I hope you've found these tips to be helpful' All the best on your steemit journey
