Thanks. And welcome to Steemit :-)

The best way to move forward it to put up an introduction post and then a few other posts. That way when you comment (as you have done here) people will go and check you out and see if they might want to follow you. If there is nothing in your blog about you, there is a good chance they'll skip past and not follow you.

So far you're doing the right thing, by getting involved and engaging. (and not begging for followers) Keep it up and you'll do well here ;-) Best of luck.
