A very happy birthday @leninquiblat! :c)
Welcome to Steemit.
That was a lovely introduction! It is very clear that you lead a rich and diverse life. Sorry that you lost your job but its great that you are using ghostwriting to help smooth over this rough patch. I wish you success.
Since you're new here, a quick read through this post may prove helpful.
Thanks for your warm welcome @pathforger I'm gonna use my skills to excel in this community. I'm following you now and will check your post :) thanks for dropping by mate!
You are welcome @leninquiblat. :c)
Cultivating a following is the second step to success on this platform (ther first one being building a personal brand - which I think you are doing great at already).
Following too many people for the sake of a following can be bad for you (you will see lots of stuff that do not interest you) - but at the beginning it doesn't hurt to experiment. :c)
Also - nurturing followers is good for increasing the visibility of your content.
