Respect! Your account is somewhat new but I thought I'd say hi nevertheless. I just upvoted you for this as you deserved it and know that the steemit community awaits!
I know how hard it is to get big upvotes on a new account so my advice would be to give @MinnowPowerUp a go as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I have also made this post where I explain my experience with the service in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.
