Patience is key. You'll soon become junior and then everything will be much easier. For me the biggest setback was post times, i could only post once every 360 seconds which was very tenuous.
Newbie here.. I post everyday. I don't mind if it takes time for me to level up my rank because I know it has a process
What important is I am learning everyday as I read all the posts.
Enjoy being a newbie now. Learn and understand it, Persistent is also the key.
