At the end of the day, most everything in your life you earned through competition. This competition divides Earth's scarce and finite resources as best as it can (the basic function of economies). But the fact is, you aren't given a free lunch.
Blogging on Steemit is also, in essence, a competition (only if you care about getting fat stacks of Steem!).
So how do you compete best? You pick a strength. You improve it as best you can. And you have at it.
Everyone has natural gifts and everyone has a vocation. A vocation not meaning a job, but a vocation as a calling.
For instance, think about the best teacher you have ever had. I bet people say he was born to be a teacher. That it's in his blood. That is a vocation. And that is a great strength to maximize.
No one cares much for the teacher that is strong at teaching, but hates their career.
Think of some of the best times you have had working. That's probably a great strength to focus on.
For me, it's programming. I am not a trained computer scientist by any means, but by golly do I love it when my program complies. Each time I work out some new function or script, I get giddy. Even though I've been coding for years, my wife knows that when I jump up from my computer to dance about the house, I've gotten it to work.
If you sre going to compete on Steemit, there are really only 2 ways to go about it.
Or
I wish I were a whale. If I were, I'd be sleeping on a much nicer bed.... maybe one on a yacht... but I'm not. So it's time to crush it. Time to focus on my strength
Time to make a bot that sells high and buys low because for gosh darned it I can't.
