"How are you?" is a greeting like「お元気気ですか」. The words obviously have different meanings, different nuances, but English speakers use "How are you? the same way that 「お元気気ですか」or「元気？」are said in Japan.
Some common answers are:
"Fine, how are you?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"Great. How about you?"
Even if you're feeling terrible, you would normally say something like "fine" but if you say it with a sad voice, the listener will understand that you're not doing well.
After you say "fine" you can always add something explaining. ("I'm fine, but I'm tired" or "Fine. I have a little headache, though" or something like that).
ALSO, "received" is a word that many people spell wrong. Even English speakers forget whether to wrote "e" or "i" first. Here's a simple rule: "I before E except after C" (Say that 100 times, and you'll remember it).
Examples: "fierce" "friend" "fried"
"receive" "conceive" etc.
"I" before "E" except after "C"

You can say you are good and how you are new on the site and checking things out and how has their experience with Italki been, and then you copy paste that to each message, then back and forth on their replies, and then you ask them if you share the same goals (if you are interested)

You should use some answer: I'm good, I'm fine, so so or not bad to reply your messages :)

It's just a greeting to begin chatting. You can answer it simply and ask your partner as well. Some responses as followed:
1 Good. You?
2 Not bad. What's up?
3 Fine. How about you?

I think the most common response to that question is just, "I'm good." Most native English speakers will say that. It is also normal for you to ask them how they're doing after you've answered them.
As an example:
Hello! How are you?
- I'm good, and you?
