Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to be a newcomer on Steemit nowadays... But good content and being active like you said, that's definitely the best way to get some traction.
There are a bunch of different projects and initiatives one can participate in and there are several discord channels where you can interact with others too. Getting to know people and doing something good for the community, or for others, is a good approach.
Thanks again for the reply, will try that out sir, god bless you!!!
