Ok, I'm also new here but I'll drop some pointers I know.
First, farm your SB Points.
As a start, try creating reviews for Games, Smartphones, eBook, etc.
As your reviews get to be posted, you'll also earn SB Points (though I don't know their criteria for judging your review).
Don't fret, though. Your opinion is enough, as long as your work's not copied from another source.
Next, try getting around the forums. Hopefully, you'll spot a friend or two that you can chat with.
I can be your friend, too!
Just DM me when you got the time.
Anyway, that's all I got.
Have a good day, OP.
P.S. You caught my attention 'cause of your title, LOL
