Hi @sngcyptocurrency I've only been here a few days myself and I was very fortunate to have some family already on steemit. However, there have been lots of steemians that didn't know my connections that have been very helpful, welcoming and supportive. They have read and commented on my posts, like I am now on yours, so hang in there, it does take some time. I'm certainly not earning $1,000 on my posts either, but I'm ecstatic and very grateful for the rewards and support I have received from the steemit community. Don't give up!
