hi @garyev7, you are welcome to steemit. have seen u do a lot of holidaying , you have one more place you need to visit- Nigeria. enjoy your stay on steemit.

you said your first self-intro didnt get a good response, i dont know what you mean. but my advice is, dont just be so $-conscious. just do a good post and be satisfied in having it published. if people vote and you get good reward, good. but if you are just thinking $, you might just be disappointed and frustrated.
