You have to like blogging because the learning and earning curve is a pretty slow start. I think it is designed that way to weed out the get-rich-quick crowd. I know I posted some of my best stuff and hardly had a single up vote. I still have posts that don't get, but only a few votes. Check out my blog. I've been here since January and that's where I am. If you need money right now it will not happen here. I suggest you start commenting on someone's posts and hope that they like your comments and find them worthy of upvotes. Get tight with a few generous bloggers and your account will build. You can also buy some steem power, play the contests, and pay for resteems and upvotes. Figure it all out, but you really need to enjoy writing and reading.
