Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Being as you're new, I wouldn't worry about not getting questions sent directly to your inbox. As YG has pointed out, it's very uncommon when you're new. So it isn't neccessarily, that you're doing something wrong -- just that not many people will ask, new columnists questions.
The best advice I can give you, is to answer as many public questions as possible. Update everyday, I would set a minimum of ten to fifteen questions daily to answer. And stick to that amount that you want to set daily, so that you'll not only be answering many questions, but you'll be getting feedback to help you out. The more you answer questions, and give people good advice -- the more popular you will become.
That's how I've become pretty popular here. I can't say I'm the most popular, or that I've been here for a year or two, but I do consider myself a good contributor to Advicenators.
I wish you the best of luck, and remember...answer questions! :)

You don't have to worry about people leaving questions in your inbox. Since you're new, not many people are going to do this. I suggest answering as many public questions as you can. That way it'll show people you're able to give good advice. Always spell and type correctly. People hate others who "tYp3 liek diz!" It gets very annoying and you won't get much people coming to your site or asking for advice. Be nice and friendly, no one likes when people are bitchy to them when they're asking for help. So, just answer as many questions as you can, the best that you can. People will then see you give great advice and will come to you when they have a problem.

Getting questions to your inbox isn't real common, especially when you are new. The ratings you get for inbox questions don't count towards your total rating either by the way.
Most inbox questions will be, for example, if you answer someones question on the site, they liked your answer but it led to another question and they would like to know what you think. Sometimes if you have answered someones questions before and they liked your answer, they will just ask you alone. That comes with time.
The best columnists on this site do not use slang or oddball spelling. They don't just answer a question even if they don't really know the answer. They may have occasional typos but they are pretty good spellers.
For example on your question, loose the multiple ?
and spell out one instead of using 1. Easy to do if you are used to text messaging, just try not to do it here. Please don't take offense. :)
