Respect! I see you have been on steemit for some time now so thanks for the introduction post. Hope this upvote helps and know that the steemit community awaits!
As a fresh steemian it can be hard to recieve votes so my advice would be to give Steemfollower a go as you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I also recently made this post explaining that in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
