#1 piece of advice. Download discord from discordapp.com - it's the defacto chat center for over 200 steem related niche communities ranging from small family groups to groups of over 10 thousand members. This is where you will meet and be met, see and be seen.
It's all about the social in the social network here. Sounds like you are used to that.
There's a reason the secret slogan cliche' here is "come for the money, stay for the community"
