I think that your blogging hits will come as you continue to make new friends and develop a wider following. So I wouldn't be worried as much about what you are blogging as to how many connections and friends you've made. I set a goal every day for myself to get x amount of people to talk to... Some days I can do it and some days I can't. I think that is the most important thing to do here because the interactions are genuine.

Also realize that the people who you are meeting right now can only give out 10 votes a day and its a 0.01 at best. It will take them time to grow up with you. Helping them to grow will also help you to grow as those 0.01 become 0.08 etc....

Next you should get out into the community and meet and talk to the bigger fish. I usually take at least 30 mins a day going through my favorite feeds and looking for good stuff from the bigger players (high 50 Reputation to 70 Reputation).. Those usually have not only good stuff, that is awesome to see, but they also have many followers just like you. I try to engage sincerely about the post and my thoughts. And generally be charming or funny what ever is appropriate.. Sometimes is simply giving sincere gratitude for showing you somehting new.

Finally I suggest you use the "follow first" principle. Don't wait for someone to follow you. If they are commenting on a post that you are also commenting, follow them FIRST. You don't have to say anything as that is tacky. A percentage of them will like that you have followed them and will follow you back because they either remembered you, liked what you said in your comments, or in some cases people follow eveeryone.

I do this every time I go into any thread... Like you should follow first everyone in my post comment sections. I set my goal of following at least 100 new people a day (and many days if I have nothing else to do, I do even more than that.

Finally this inititative is designed to get you to interact and meet like minded people. I think by participating in the way you feel comfortable doing,, you will find you make new connections, develop a following among thankful newbies, and learn things from the others that will help you. You will see post from friends that you know are better done than you , and you will feel comfortable asking for their advice.

For instance I put out my little instruction on "how to" do something. I am very basic in the tools I use and really don't focus on it being aesthetically pleasing. I say a post by mudcat36 today that was 1000x better in the presentation and I will ask him to teach me how to do it.

You have a good heart and you will do well, I do have confidence in you. Everyone learns different things at different speeds, but the good thing about steemit is we have a genuine interest in helping each other succeed. This can not be underestimated, it is a powerful force when you think about it.

i hope this helps... :)
