Hi @chadstretton. I am sorry to be late to visit your page. Was really super duper busy for Chinese New Year Celebration.

I have also read your introduction post.

It can be challenging to build your account here in the beginning but what makes it easier is to join some communities which suit you.

First of all, you can check out @steemitbloggers a community which covers most niche from blog to vlog to photography to homesteading to writing etc. Follow the account and the door is open then apply to join. The founder is @jaynie.

Secondly, do check out community to help new Steemians like @welcomewagon and @helpie. Browse their account and do not hesitate to leave a comment of any question to get some feed back.

Hope this helps. And at the same time, keep creating content of your interest and get connected with people. See you around here or at Twitter.
