Firstly, you create good articles that I like reading. My goal was to be a dolphin before the end of the year, but I don't know if that will happen or not.

Are you good at cooking? You could always make entries for the Food Fight Friday competition. Just use the hashtag #fff or #foodfightfriday

Have you heard of Splinterlands?
I have been playing this game for a few years now and I make Steem from renting the cards.

I also get paid when in "Dark Energy Crystals" or DEC which I can sell on steem-engine.com or save up for another packet of cards.

I do a lot of things to generate Steem and then I power up a lot.
I noticed that you have a lot of SBD, you can trade that for Steem in the market from the wallet.

But if anything, I would suggest finding your "tribe" of people who have the same interests.
Don't give up and keep going.
