can someone please help me

First, welcome to mylot. Things will start out slow but don't give up. I would make sure you really understand all the rules. I would suggest that you start answering other peoples discussions and give good quality answers. This will get you noticed by more people and they will want to be your friend. The more friends you have, the better your discussions will get noticed. Also, you only get a point for each discussion you start and only if there are responses to it. I find it easier to make money if I just respond to other discussions. And finally, just be yourself and have fun. You will learn many new things here and make some good friends. Good luck.
