Good writeup! It came to my attention that you have a new account so I wanted to give you my welcome. This deserves an upvote and I hope to read more from you in the future!
I know how hard it is as a fresh account so you could give Steemfollower a go. This exchange lets you 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 made this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
