Hi there 
If your content is original, owned by yourself, and hasn't been posted on Hive or our previous chain Steem before, it's best to create a post and post it directly here rather than providing a link. Understand you may be doing that to drive traffic to your website, but that doesn't really help with getting support and rewards on Hive. So it really depends on what your priority is.
With regards to building a community, it's great that you've set one up so soon but it's quite difficult to gain traction when you're new to Hive. Writing a self introduction post will definitely help and don't forget to use the introduceyourself tag for maximum exposure. I would definitely recommend you doing that as it also helps to verify your identity. We've had many cases of imposters and stolen identity here.
Last and not the least, I'm from the haveyoubeenhere and pinmapple community created/hive-163772. We're the travel community on Hive and are here to support the travel community and travel content creators. Pinmapple is a travel map that allows you to pin your post on the map so you can see your travel posts visually at a glance. If you are in need of support on Hive, you are welcome to post from our community and pin on Pinmapple. Or if you're just looking for general advice, feel free to ask anytime.
Hope to see you around.
