I think that's a great attitude and plan - Take a look at my wife's blog, @countrygirl. She came back on steemit after several months' hiatus and had no steem power and couldn't even post. It took the first month to get her up and running- and that happened even with a depressed steem dollar. Build relationships - follow peeps like @creatr, and @lydon.sipe - you share a lot in common with them and they are loyal and encouraging. It won't take long.
