I lived in El Salvador for 9 months.
That was just before the biggest surge of crime began.
I hope that this day without a murder is not just a fluke, and that things start improving for them. It is a sad situation. It is a beautiful country with a lot of beautiful, friendly people.

You know about the 4 post a day limit? After 4 posts you lose your chance to make any real money on the new posts?
If that doesn't matter, that's fine, but I thought that I'ld let you know in case you didn't realize.
All the best!

Thank you very much, I didn't know that! Nevertheless, I just want to gain a bit of exposure for my blog during my first days , I don't really worry about the earnings. :D

Okay. I think it's better to build up a following day by day, and then that following will see your new posts in their feed. Also people don't want to give away their precious votes if they know there won't be a payout. When a person votes more than 40 full votes per day, it diminishes the rewards too much, so they aren't going to give you 10 of those votes in one day.
... anyways, Steemit is a big learning curve. All the best!

oh, also ... if you resteem as many as you are and someone adds decides to "follow" you, it will fill up their feeds with all your resteems. So it's a good idea to only resteem a few per day as well.

Wow, thank you so much for your help, canadian-coconut.
