Welcome to steem and I wish you all the success in the world. The keys to success on steem is definitely percivierance and networking. As someone else had mention in their comment, discord is the place to network. Without spending a little time finding some communities on discord and building relationships, it can be very difficult.
Good luck. Gr8 intro post btws 🙂
Thanks. I've just created a Discord account. Now all I need to do is find my way around there
