Hi @simgirl! Thanks for the wonderful links. I believe I'm already a part of PAL, as well as a number of other groups, mainly #SteemUSA and #thealliance (bigs hearts to those two groups for all the help they've give me so far). I participate in a number of photo and writing contests daily, but all of that is long term as I build my account up. I literally need work to pay the bills. The amount of SBD I can pull in right now isn't enough to make a dent in pretty much anything. Maybe in six months if I keep up the pace I've been going at...hehe.
Be well! :)
