Welcome! You sound like you are living the dream that @prairiepinner and I share!! We live in Canada's Texas...Saskatchewan and we dream of having space in the country for animals, barns, and lots of place to play!
My biggest tip is to really invest your time here, don't expect a quick payout. Instead, focus on building relationships and adding high quality content. You will learn your way around quickly enough and as you add good writers to your feed, you will even learn something new!!
