Welcome to steemit, nice introduction!

I did nearly the same mistake as you. I wrote an introduceyourself post and then spent a lot of time working on a big post I wanted to write for a long time (here  if you are curious). I had nearly zero followers, used probably the wrong tags and it certainly were not the only mistakes. Ah well, still learning every day about the platform 😉

Anyway, I wish you good fortune here, seems like you will have some interesting stories to tell!
