Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. Welcome @shawnzie! The more information you can give on your posts, the better you will do and always give credit for where the photo came from, even if it is something you took yourself. You deserve credit just as much as anyone else. There is a lady I have grown to like extremely well here on Steemit that recently made a GREAT post on how to make posts that get resteemed and make the most money. https://steemit.com/steemit/@mountainjewel/secrets-revealed-how-to-make-a-re-steemable-curateable-badass-post

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!
