Some might have the opinion that if you write good posts alone that that should be enough to get noticed and earn some Steemage. Well, if that hasn't quite been working out yet...

Don't be discouraged.

This site is all about community and communities... Be apart of good ones, add value, and start your own and you may increase your chances to increase your rewards. For example, take a look at Hive account@the-en's blog if you want to exercise and be a part of a community that aims to facilitate supporting each other like you may want. It's new, but it's going to be awesome. Also, if you like cryptomining, there's Hive account@coderotation.

There's surprisingly a lot of people that are new and that complain about not earning, but they don't seem to get a lot of pity votes, lol.

It seems that if you

write good content + interact and somewhat get to know others who do the same + provide the opportunity for them to do so = better results.

Anyways, this was my two cents and attempt to collaborate by sharing what I see value in.

Cheers and hope to see ya around a lot in here :D
