Hi @gomatthew! Great initiative. I am trying to make a name on Steemit by showcasing my (usually travel-related) photography. I seem to be gaining some Steem (;-)) but I recognise that in the beginning it can be difficult, and I am still a relatively small fish in the ocean.
Personally I have a few people on my auto-vote list as well, which is great to automatically support the people that deserve your vote. I usually re-assess this list every month so as to keep it updated (i.e. are people still active and posting quality?). I have started to follow you and if I like what I am seeing I may include you on my list as well :)
Cheers, @Finance2Nomad
Sounds great friend! You're the fourteenth addition to my auto vote list! Congratz!
