I've run into a number of newer people venting the frustration you mentioned here, and I gave them very similar tips. I got where I am today by doing a lot of interacting. The way this platform is set up, we are all content creators. We don't have the luxury of a large audience of people who are simply here to be the audience. So the only way to succeed is to make connections, to be the audience for others and hope they reciprocate--at this point anyway. I've heard they have plans for steemit that will attract a lot more curators-or audience. But until then, this is where we are.

Thanks so much for your input @dreemit - I was pleasantly surprised by the commentors of this post to have an average reputation of lower 50's and a decent amount of commentors in the mid to upper 60's...
The purpose of this post was really to explore different ways of achieving rewards for those frustrated from time to time in the earlier stages... And as the comments came in and many people egaged in conversation the underlying theme for success no matter which way you look at it - especially from the seasoned users - tended to be connecting with users - on a deeper level as such as treating Steemit as a social media platform rather than a blogging/reward site...
I am very happy to hear that Steemit has plans for more curation services.. Curie is a wonderful asset to Steemit however I believe its curation rewards for undervalued posts is too extreme and the reputation cutoff slightly too low.
Hopefully there will be different types of curie-like projects tailored to the many different stages of STEEMIT users. Just my thoughts..
Truly appreciate you taking the time to share your insight and add to this very informative post which can mostly be attributed to the many people who commented and engaged to help others 'get it'
