Hello, Sireh, and welcome to Steemit. I see you are quite new, and I must tell you that you will go through some growing pains. (I've been active for just over 2 months now, and I too have attracted only a bit of attention from other Steemians or whales.)
I saw that many of your posts are resteems. That is fine, but you should also create some quality content on your own, and upload original posts.
Write about something you love, fill it with information that others might want to know or might find interesting. Add photos and images to complement the text.
If you're uploading photos, make it a complete photo diary, with close to 20 photos and plenty of interesting commentary regarding the photos. It can be your experience of the site in the photos, details about the subject of the photos, history about the subject of the photos. As long as it's interesting and informative, it should get a better response than a single photo.
Another way to get recognition is to go through your Steemit feed, or through the "new" posts feed, or any feed, and look for something that interests you. There will be much that you are not interested in, but everyone can find posts that they find interesting or even intriguing.
For those posts, you can UPVOTE, COMMENT, READ Replies, Re-COMMENT to the replies, and even UPVOTE the comments and replies. This will bring you minor rewards at first, but it will bring you recognition.
Slowly but surely, you will be noticed more and recognized more. I know from experience.
Keep plugging away, and keep striving to do a bit every day.
Eventually, you'll find that you are moving .... Full Steem Ahead.
All the best.
p.s. I love your graphics above. I assume you drew them all yourself. They're well done and interesting. Also, the development stages show that you put a lot of thought into them. somehow, you might find a way to use those skills / talents in some of your Steemit posts. :-)
Wow!... Thanks @majes.tyty ... yes I'm new to this and still learning... glad that I have the friend like @perennial and others from @Team Malaysia who gave me support... without them I may be lost in Steemians sea... your comment is very much appreciated. Thanks for the tips... cheers!
There are also two advices:
Excellent comment about commenting and upvoting. We should strive to make / maintain Steemit as a platform full of quality content, replete with interesting and valuable information.
Fake comments and unearned upvotes will take us into the opposite direction, making this site a shallow venture focused on earning rewards, making money, and increasing profits. That is NOT something that we want, and we should strive to ensure that we do not go that route.
Post about what you love, and certain Steemers will love what you post.
Comment about what interests you, and other Steemers will find it interesting.
And if other Steemers love your posts and find them interesting, then they might follow you and upvote / resteem your posts. If many of them don't, many others will.
Full Steem Ahead.
You're very welcome. I'm new too, and trying to learn lots.
It can be a bit frustrating, but think LONG TERM. Keep doing what you love, keep posting interesting stuff that other people will love, and you will find that the rewards will come. Maybe slowly, but surely.
Following you now... may learn many new things from ya...
Cool. I'm here to help whenever I can.
By the way, where in Malaysia are you (besides CyberJaya)?
Cyberjaya is the place where I'm teaching (Multimedia University)... its next to Putrajaya, 15 minutes from KLIA Airport... and 30 minutes to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia...
Thanks. I must have passed it when I visited KL about 15 years ago.
I've also visited Malaka, Kuching, and Penang. I love travelling in Malaysia, and will probably visit again someday.
Teach your students well. :-)
Hahaha... 15 years ago Cyberjaya didn't yet exist... and wow!... you're traveling Malaysia more than I do... isk!

Thanks! @ahmadmanga... your tips and your upvote are very much appreciated... we'll keep in touch... cheers!
Great advice and tip! Just have fun making friends... :D
The obsession is perfectly common when you are new here. I spent like 12 hours daily on Steemit the first month but now just check it 2-3x daily. 😊
wow...that is an addiction
Whales can't see us. Know why? Their eyes are side to side hahah
haha... wish they have many eyes ...
actually they have only two.... haha
imagine if they have compound eyes like flies...
awww, I missed the payout date, love your artwork! Do you mind if I use it?
Thank You @kubbyelizabeth, yes... you have my permission. I really apreciate it if you can put credit (moral right) and promote my works to your friends... Thanks for your support ya... cheers!
You paint really nice, seriously. More concerning to the theme, I'm new on Steemit and I've been reading to some guys that I consider succesfull in this social media, they say that adding value to the things that you read by commenting good stuff helps to much, gaining followers too, making high tier aportations no matter how simple are they.
I think I can say so many more things but I prefer to recommend you this post, I really like it and can help you.
