Hello,
I actually just did a basic post last week for @davemccoy covering the do's and don't's go to this link and see what I had to say.

As I said, these are the basics to get you started.

Finding your own groove can take some time. Things you need to consider are:

• How much time do you have and want to spend on steemit?
• Are you here long term?
• What areas, topics and hobbies interest you? This will help you find a community and group to help advance your reputation and visibility.
• Are you committed to a number of hours per day/week?
• Can you spend just as much time commenting as you do posting quality content?

Once you have these questions answered, you should be able to find your groove and have a daily routine. And remember, if you post consistently for two weeks straight then you miss a week, you may lose a following of members that were reading your posts every day.
