Cool! I see you have been on steemit for some time now so thanks for the intro, it's been an intresting read. This deserves an upvote and maybe upvote some of my stuff too!
Getting those big upvotes on a new account can be a daunting task, believe me, so I suggest you to try out @MinnowPowerUp as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up with steem directly! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I also recently made this post explaining my experience with it in more depth while earning over $1 per day in upvotes.
