Keep it up! You are a new member so I thought I'd say hi and welcome you. Have an upvote and I'm waiting for many more posts in the future!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those first upvotes on my posts so you should try out Steemfollower where 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 also recently made this post explaining that in more depth and it has become my most upvoted post yet.
