The number 2 way I will recommend to my followers in order to maximize steemit at this period of low value of Steem is to always post about things that interest you. That is, create a niche from your interest or you hobby. This will make posting easy for you as you will always have something of good content to post without stress and you will always have a good number of posts per day.
Take a clue from the likes of
@papa-pepper, who always blog about his homestead
@broncnutz who blog about sport
@acidyo who always do live streaming of his games
@stephenkendal who always blog about his steemit promotion

@ackza who always blog and show us different ways of how he is cashing out and using STEEM for different things
@stokjockey who is a lover of silver coins
