Awesome! I can see your account is somewhat new so thanks for the introduction post. I just upvoted you for this as you deserved it and maybe upvote some of my stuff too!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those first upvotes on my posts so my advice would be to give Steemfollower a go as you can earn up to 5x more steem than just upvoting by yourself! It's a simple and safe vote exchange that is free to use. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
Thanks @Kromosoom, nice to get first comment from u....this is really appreciated )
