New to join, any recommended methods for finding exciting content?

I'm new to the Steemit community, signed up wanting to join the fun after finding a number of blog posts on alternative coins. Those posts I actually found as google searches, and now that I'm on Steemit I've been skimming over the "trending" "new" "hot" and "promoted" sections, but its overwhelming with the volume of content, I feel like I'm just blundering about. How do experienced users get their content? Tips appreciated!
