I understand you're not happy about upvotes and rewards. We've all been there and we all still get disappointing payouts on some posts that we worked really hard on. The truth is, earnings here are a bit random.

There is also the fact that many more members are signing up, which means more and more posts are being published, which makes it harder for yours to get noticed.

Then there's the fact that you've only just started here. You will gain more and more followers and slowly your rewards will rise, but it takes time. We have all spend a lot of time building up a nice following. The number doesn't tell you much though. It's about how engaged your followers are with your content.

If you're serious about Steemit, stick with it. You need to put your enjoyment first and earnings second, or you won't last.

Here are some tips:

• Engage with members on their posts. Write good comments and don't ask them for a follow/vote in return. If you have a good conversation with someone, they will probably check you out.
• I see that you resteem a lot of posts. It is nice to resteem other people's posts, but it does mean that the indentity if your own blog gets lost in the mix. Try to atleast write more posts than you resteem.
• With the above in mind: Don't spam posts. Keep working on good quality, which is more important than quantity. It might mean you resteem a lot less, but giving people your upvote and a nice comment goes a long way aswell.
