Welcome! You sound like you are living the dream that @prairiepinner and I share!! We live in Canada's Texas...Saskatchewan and we dream of having space in the country for animals, barns, and lots of place to play!
My biggest tip is to really invest your time here, don't expect a quick payout. Instead, focus on building relationships and adding high quality content. You will learn your way around quickly enough and as you add good writers to your feed, you will even learn something new!!
Great thoughts, and good to meet you! Ya, the idea of a quick payout was not a motivation to join the site. Rather, having a place to post thoughts and engage with other writers was a big draw!
We recently had some ladies on a tour of Waco who were from Saskatchewan and they threw me off bc of their cowboy boots. I thought they had bought them when they came to visit Waco but they informed me that they were from cow country themselves! I knew it was generally flat in that region, but didn't realize how much of a Canadian analog it was to parts of Texas.
I appreciate you taking the time to say hi and suggest a few tips!
