Hey hey, are you one of those who thought winning steems would be easy to do? Welcome to most people's reality: It's hard to make steems without investing.
I still remember my beginnings, casually the page always opens in the articles that are in trend that usually exceed 100USD. Then we began to dream of similar rewards but after many attempts we did not exceed 1USD, the truth is that few are lucky enough to achieve great rewards from the beginning, if you are not one of those few I invite you not to get discouraged, it is not enough to write a good article (although doing so increases your chances), it is necessary to make yourself known, make the great read you, not wait to be read but DO YOU READ, of course this is that when I say "make you read" I do not mean spam in any sense as this will sink you into oblivion forever.
Making you read includes reading their articles with much interest trying to understand the subject to leave accurate comments that can also be translated into rewards.
Needless to say, you should vote for those articles and even if sooner or later they ignore you they will end up noticing that you are there constantly, that's when they'll go to your blog (you'll have them read you), but what will they read? It's where the quality of your articles will play their part.
Take advice and instead of complaining get to working.
