Hello friend if you want to be successfull in steemit community like all others people right there then first and most importent thing that you have to do that do not think about the money at the initial stages.If you here for only money then my friend I must say you may not survive very long in this community because then you not post any quality content you only post something rubbish then beg for upvote.First of all find some topic that you love to read then research on that topics and make a blog then you can enjoy your work.Don't expect you can earn 100$ a post right from the beginning but if you have patience and quality content then you can make that money easily.So that you understands your problem then find it's sollution.
From a sufferer of the same problem.
