That is a problem everyone has. It took me a while before anyone noticed my stuff on quora. I would spend days making content that got no views, no money.
Bid bots are not the answer. Bid bots destroy organic curation and make it unfair to everyone else not using bid bots. How would you feel if you worked on something for days, and your work gets pushed down in your tag because of people bid botting content? That isn't fair for the people not botting. Plus bid bots take from our inflation allocation, hurting everyone else.
Converting to bid bots because you feel your work should be seen is a dick move IMO (unless you burn some Steem, paid votes offer ROI), it is selfish and hurts all the other stake hodlers. Just play the game fair and let the chips fall where they may, the cheat does on Steem have been nulled.
