Welcome to DV!

Check out the tutorials section, there's a lot of great techniques out there that you can try: WBTB, DILD, MILD, and FILD are all good for beginners.

Also, Seeker has a quick start tutorial, a good read.

Do reality checks and keep a dream jounal. They both help a ton.

And remember that LDing is a skill, different people progress at different rates. Just because you don't experience success the first week doesn't mean you never will. For me, it took a month before I had my first one. Stay determined, and stick at it!

Good luck!
