Hey mate, welcome to Steemit, you should check out my post on how to be successful on here: How To Succeed On Steemit? , hopefully that can give you some tips and help you get things going :)

I could do with you over here! We have recently been painting our bungalow and I reckon you could do a far better job than I did haha. Sorry to hear about your parents by the way. I hope things brighten up for you soon :)
