I get that. There are multiple components to success and post quality is only one of those. Another important one is finding a way for people to actually discover your posts and building a relationship with your following. They are all pretty hard and also depend on luck too. But when we keep writing we give luck more chances to knock on our door too if not anything else.

I personally find a lot of value in commenting on other people's posts with comments that add value or a new perspective. This would allow new people to be exposed to you and hopefully some might decide to check out your posts and follow. Additionally, you might want to participate in competitions and challenges. Of course, I'm not sure I'm the one to give a lot of advice as I by no means have this figured out.
