Sometimes it's difficult to get attention in steemit. You just have to get to know how all this community works. And of course you have to find your people. The ones, that will like the work you do and will encourage you. This process can take a lot of time. After registering here, I was discouraged at one moment and almost stopped visiting the site. Maybe I had about two months or so in absence. Now I am regretful of that act of mine. Luckily, after giving another try, I found that a lot of people liked and upvoted my second first post.

One thing is sure - nothing happens fast and you had to be patient to build up followers and find various ways to encourage them and be encouraged of course! One thing is sure... You should not be irritating and the things will gradually start to happen.
