It was not too long a ago that i was in your position. Striving for upvotes on my blogs but you know what i learnt after weeks of writing good posts and getting almost nothing on it? I learnt that your contribution to the platform and connections with other members determined how much you will get on a post. So, before you give up, try visiting discord channels and engage with others. The magic you have been looking for will begin from there.
