Hey man,

You seem like a cool guy. If I can recommend one thing on here it's getting yourself a Discord! Most of the community here networks through all these various groups and channels in these big Steemit Discord servers. We make friends, set plans, move forward with agendas.
The platform is incredibly versatile and still evolving quite dramatically.
It's also threatened by a lot of issues and so this is a really dynamic and tight-knit community trying to make the dream work, but everybody knows it could go either way.
So yeah, if you want to suceed here, head over to the Minnow Support Project website, join the MSP Discord Server by clicking here, and if you feel so inclined:

add me on Discord: imp.unity#3467

I'd be glad to answer some questions and try to explain the layout of the platform, some of the do's and don'ts, stuff that people like here, etc.

As for the rest, happy Steemin' bro ! xx
