Umm, I am not sure - it's hard to know where to start as everyone is at a different level.
Have you been using steem-engine? The staking happens there and I think I've covered that on the first guide.
Then you can skip to this one and use either of the methods listed to scale the vote weight.
If you are stuck but have a coin you'd like to stake and earn some curation from, maybe we could meet on discord and work through it sometime?
