Salute! I noticed that your account is couple of months old so thanks for the intro, it's been an intresting read. This deserves an upvote and know that the steemit community awaits!
As a fresh steemian it can be hard to increase your steem power so my advice would be to give @MinnowPowerUp a go as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I have also made this post where I explain my experience with the service in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.
