I'll be back to upvote you tomorrow. I suggest that you start associating with a few communities where people share your interests. If you like science, and write good science articles, SteemStem is the place to connect. They feature some really spectacular science articles. Connect through Steemstem.io, as well as here.
Contests are also places where you can find community support. It's kind of hard to make connections here without a network, so that's the way to go.
Good luck.
