You can get there! It will take time. Additionally, things have changed so much on steemit. I remember when posts would get 2 cents! Many days I had posts that would get nothing. If you focus on your formatting and editing you can do it! Here are three posts that will help you and hopefully others that see the reply section will see them too!

• Steemit Blogging 101: Headers and White Space and WHY they're important!
• Steemit Blogging 101: Title, Picture, First 100 Characters and WHY they're important!
• Best Practices for Steemit Newbie Artists by @merej99 - a 100% Power Up Post

I cannot take credit for these. They were all made by @merej99, so if they help you stop by her page and give her a shoutout! I refer to them quite frequently!
