Hey no problem! Yes yes all kinds of things I can recommend, as you can probably already tell Original Content will do best!

Other then that, I find commenting on people's posts with original content that is really what I meant and not just random posting tends to draw attention to myself, and the ones I am talking to.

Negativity is usually met with an insane about of unpopularity, even for "whales" (high power/worth accounts).

Other then that my friend, I suggest you follow people that bring you good content, and just post and have fun.

The easiest way to make money is to forget about the money and just have fun, this has brought me success all throughout life, and yes even here on Steemit.
