Sorry to tell you - from experience of others unless you join groups on DISCORD and spend half your life 'making friends' NOT brownies or meatloaf - or writing or photographing them you WILL NOT be seen on steemit. What you see about that is just a contrived pretence of 'content' to get a post up

EVERYTHING is about manipulation of upvoting and leverage through bidbots and groups set up to upvote eachother. You need MONEY in advance to get in on this. the one thing you don't have. And the way steem is falling you would be crazy to buy in for thousands now.

So consider yourself lucky you have something on the table that's worth eating. Starting a bakery will make you more money faster than here
