Hi @toscani40, I upvoted you a tiny bit, but the best way for you to earn a living on steemit is to start posting things of value to your readers. Write friendly stories about the things that you love, post a few photos, introduce yourself, show us what positive change you can bring to the world. Those things have value, and are worth many upvotes. :)

The more you post, and the more value you bring to your readers, the more you can earn.
