You have to write a good introductory post if you want people to see you and notice you from the start. When I did mine back over a year ago when I first started, I wish I knew what I am about share with you so that you can make sure that you have a post rocking it like this:
Rather than falling on its head like this...
#Introduceyourself tag is important as there are users that look out for introduction posts to encourage people to stay, there are some whales (people with high vote power) who like to skim through these posts, so bearing that in mind, let do what we can to make sure that your post stands out.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who open up accounts with the intent of scamming people, so some people are wary of interacting straight away with new people on the Steem block(chain). Here are 3 ways you can verify yourself and you could even do all three if you liked:
Title, your title needs to be interesting enough to entice people to read it. The same goes for your starting line. If a tabloid or gossip newspaper got hold of you story, what would their headline be? That would be a good place to start thinking on a title. Make sure your first line arouses curiosity or interest to read on too.
Quality information with formatted posts, with headlines for different sections and something visual to look at would help the reader stand up and take notice.
Thumbnail picture would be important also to stand out and format with a border like 
Think about the wording on the thumbnail, as more than 5 words is not going to be readable on the thumbnail on the feed.
Also now is a good time to think of the brand you want to create for yourself, the colors you’d like to use in your thumbnail, separator, and footer so that people will start to instantly recognize your posts. Don’t forget to make your profile header in this process and fill out some information about yourself.
A good command of English is also necessary, although as Steemit is growing there are posts written in different languages that can do well also. Many people choose to write dual language posts to get the best of both worlds. A good post will have good punctuation, spelling and grammar. So don’t forget to proofread.
Answer why you are here on Steemit, what you are going to write about, so people have a clear idea as to what you are about. Divulging something a little personal (but something you are comfortable with). I have documented the break up of my marriage and the aftermath, recorded on the blockchain forever, not in an intro post, but over time. That may be too personal for some, but I have had people come and tell me that what I wrote has helped them save their own marriages. Be genuine is the best advice I can give.
I had the mindset that if just a couple of people read my posts then I was happy, I didn't mind if I didn't make too much cash. But this last couple of months this mindset has changed somewhat. Of course, I am happy when I get to help people, but even happier when I make something too. I treated Steemit as a hobby, not a viable business venture - don’t make the same mistake I did.
