I know it might seem very difficult to make a track, especially when you just start out.
First of all, don't be afraid of repetition. It's not necessarily good, but it is a prevalent element of electronic music.
You should also try slight variations. Move some notes around, experiment, see what you can come up with. You might also want to let your melodies be played by different instruments and sounds, browse through your plug-in settings and effects. Work with the drums, a melody might be repeated, but with the rhythm changing it might still be interesting.
Don't be afraid to try to combine several ideas into one song. Just put them one after another. Try to think of something that could connect them.
And most of all, don't rush yourself. Let the music sit for a while, listen to it from time to time, an idea might pop into your head suddenly.
Good luck!
