So this is my very first dubstep song. I was just wondering what should I improved on? Should I add more to it?

Sounds like you already know a good deal about production. I don't have good headphones at the moment but it sounded like you had some clipping going on up in that mix. If you're unfamiliar, clipping is just distortion from overdriving your signal too much. Analog distortion can be nice at times but digital clipping is always kind of nasty. Compress, sidechain, and mix things a little softer to avoid those negative little devils. It's really just those heavy bass bits that are causing the trouble on my end.

Other than that things are sounding right pretty. You go gurl :P
