Good writeup! I looked at your profile and noticed that you have made a fresh account so welcome to steemit. Have one upvote from me and maybe upvote some of my stuff too!
I know how hard it is as a fresh account 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 have more info on it in this post where I go over the system in more depth and, believe it or not, this has become my most upvoted post yet.
