Thanks for taking time to check then :D I appreciate the intent. I've been reading a lot about Steem and how it works and I'm happy it's different from other social networks. I'm not terribly fond of FB or Twitter, to be perfectly honest.
I'm starting to get the sense of where I've landed. I'm working on my rep and I've been scratching my head about content creation, mostly, because I'm shy by nature and I'm really not the blogging type, but I'd like to contribute and progress in this platform. But I've been researching curation and commenting because, again, shy :D
Thanks for the upvotes, every bit counts at this point!

An easy post to start with is a introduceyourself great way to break the ice. Having ideas for content is the easy part. Finding the time to make it is the hard part. I have 50-100 I want to put out lol (working on 4 at this time).
Think about passions, hobbies, work life, things you find interesting. Sometimes if you have a really long comment you can put in some more time and turn it into a blog.
If nothing else look for the contest in something you find interesting. There are an endless amount of ones from photos to writing stories.
Just keep in mind being consistent is key over the long run. People like denmarkguy have put in an amazing effort over a very long time just to start enjoying recently the fruit of their labor. I spend more time making comments then I do blogs. That’s just how I choose to interact with the Steemit ecosystem. Everyone finds what they enjoy the best and do what they can.
In the end, you don’t have to be best of something or even an expert. You learn by doing and if you have a quite a few failures along the way then you have the opportunity to learn. I’m mostly here for a good time and hey if one-day Steem becomes $100 each well I’m very lucky! If not oh well I had an amazing time.
Again, thanks for the tips.
I'm going to work on my introduction soon. The rest of what you said is pretty much what I've been figuring out these last days. Problem is, most of my hobbies (music, games, tv series) don't really meet the user trends here on steemit, so I'll have to start a new trend (hell of an endeavor) or adapt and try something else. We'll see!
for music look into openmic contest, and as far as gaming it has some big upvotes in that tag. That one is all about quality.
