@joelgonz1982 in all honesty in my experience Steemit is very little to do about creating quality content, its much more about interaction whether that be upvoting, commenting or even participating in contests.

If you could go one of two routes, route 1 posting quality content everyday or route 2 never posting a single thing but actively upvoting, commenting and taking part in contests, IMHO route 2 your going to be WAY further ahead than route one.

If your not interacting you can post the best content in the world and nobody will see it, furthermore even if you get 100 upvotes unless they are from someone with a powerful account they are pretty much worthles anyway.
