If you'll forgive me for wearing my hat as a psychologist, perhaps I might make two comments.
First is that when you walk into a room it is a good idea to look around and see who is there before you do anything else. Walking into a room full of university mathematics professors and saying loudly "Do you realise that one and one make two?" will get some odd looks.
Second is that presentation is (almost) everything. If you flag up what you are about to say with words like "this tip is for less experienced players" or something of the sort you will help everybody. The new players will be attracted to it (which is good) and the more experienced players will save time by not bothering to read it. When Consentient put out his very comprehensive guide to Domination he put "for noobs" in the title of the thread. It couldn't be clearer.
You seem to be a very enthusiastic lad, which is good, but perhaps in your enthusiasm you have rather "oversold" your "merchandise". Adverts that promise more than they deliver are never very popular.
Another point from the psychologist -- beware the False Consensus Effect!

It catches us all!
I hope this does not come across as critical. I think tips for newer players are very valuable -- I even tried to collect some myself in an earlier thread (with some success, I hope).

But presenting them as for less knowledgeable players would be a good idea. Then everyone knows who they are aimed at.
Best of luck.
