Hey @timspeer!
As promised here are some tips regarding your blog.

First of all, when publish YouTube videos here on steemit you should embed them correctly. I've done an article about that a couple of weeks ago, so maybe you wanna have a look at it :-)

Then: you should be aware of the fact that steemit is a blogging network. If you simply drop a link to a video, people probably won't reward that much since most of the users enjoy "reading" at least a bit of background information on the video. So you should try to put yourself into the position of your target group: How would the information need to be presentend to call their attention? How may I stand out within the network?

You joined steemit in August 2017, so you are brandnew to the platform. Have you already done an introduction post? If not, I'd highly recommend that.
Here you can see how others have done it: https://steemit.com/trending/introduceyourself

The most important part of the intro post are the tags #introduceyourself and #introducemyself to provide the article with the corresponding visibility.
Maybe you do have a picture (selfie) of yourself composing some music. You could use that as main image of the article. Usually articles that are personalized receive more attention than the ones that are anonymous.

It took me ( @surfermarly ) 8 months to start earning "real money" on steemit. So what you definitely need here is patience and consistency :-)

Good luck!
