Welcome to Steemit, my friend. I am new here as well. I have been told by others, as I do now, that persistence truly is the key to success in this community. If you try to post consistently, and put good effort into your posts, I do believe like many others that you will find what you are looking for.
To quote a user who helped me getting used to this platform - "Full Steem ahead".
Thanks for your enthusiastic words and warm welcome
