I've been on Steemit now for a while, although I took some extended time away from here at one point. I remember when I started my "reputation score" was 25, and it pretty quickly went up to 39, but it's been stuck there for quite a while now.
IN fact, any suggestions on how I can use Steemit better would be appreciated, it's so different from other social networks I'm on.
Thanks for any suggestions! -Adam
Hey Adam,
as far as I understand, your reputation score results from the number of upvotes by other steemians on your posts and comments (in combination with their vested steem power.)
You can use tools like this to keep a better overview of yours

If you have 100% voting power, you should use it.
Upvote other people's work or even your own posts that you really like and see your voting power recharge gradually.
As for reputation, while upvotes can increase your reputation - being flagged can hurt the reputation score. The degree is depending on the amount of steem power behind the one who decided to flag someone else's post.

This is correct. the only way to improve your reputation is to post quality content and hope to get upvoted.
When you get rewards from posts, you need to convert that to steem and ultimately steem power. This makes your own votes more worthy and therefore you get more curation rewards, and can even upvote your own content which will contribute to reputation.
Curation rewards will therefore also help, so start upvoting good content. But the fastest way is to be noticed by others for your work.

Sucks that other social networks make it so hard to share Steemit (or any other) links now, I have thousands of followers on Facebook. Guess I'll have to just build slow and steady. I found it odd that at 39, my reputation just seemed to stop growing after growing quickly from 25-39 and my pattern of using Steemit not really changing. Are my posts being flagged? If my posts get flagged where would I see that?

well even if you shared it to your facebook followers - it won't make any difference unless they sign up to steemit and upvote you. You don't get any benefit from simple views.
A slow and steady build is the way to go. build up your Steem Power - as having a lot of voting power is helpful.
One thing you need to realise is that the growth of reputation is exponential - that is - the difference between 25-26 is a lot less than the difference between 39-40
https://steemit.com/steem/@sevinwilson/complete-overview-of-reputation-score-how-it-s-calculated-and-how-to-increase-it-reputation-score-table-included
you can see in raw score terms, jumping from 25 to 26 just requires 291,549,665 reputation points.
jumping from 39 to 40 requires 10,477,751,698, which is 35 times as much as the jump from 25 to 26.

If they can click on my website it could make a difference even if they didn't join Steemit lol I did not realize how it's calculated. Honestly there;s so much to learn compared to say Minds, that it's hard for me to get it all straight. Now I see why my reputation is taking longer to go up, thanks for the reply!

it wouldn't make a difference if they click through from your website - you'd get a view but not a vote.

My website is where people actually buy my art, not Steemit though. So, simple views where my link is clickable, are awesome in my books, Steemit upvotes or not ;)

hey Adam, I'm new on steemit so have zero reputation --- which may be a good thing --- though curious where you even find your reputation score? Thanks and all the best in 2018.

It's the number in brackets next to your name. Note that I only use Steemit on a desktop, not sure how the layout is on a mobile device.
