Welcome Megan.

I am fairly new to this complicated world too but slowly getting into it!

There are a lot of friendly people around and I also have a Facebook group just for musicians on Steemit if you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1703940769663184/

The key on here seems to be to build a following, which should be pretty is as there are so many independent artists that we all know from other sites like SoundCloud, etc.!

Also you should have a look at musicoin (this is my referral link: https://musicoin.org/accept/MUSIC0247220ae8d0d19dd9850980) where you get paid in another crypto currency whenever your music is played.

Going to listen to your track after lunch!

Thanks,
JJ.
