Thank you for the answer, Phil. I think just starting is not enough. It takes a lot of effort for a long time. Steemit for the stubborn and talented! And persistence here in the first place :)
Although it is possible that the problem is in me, in my great expectations. It is necessary to reduce expectations and the process will go.
p.s. I learned to use Google Translate or is it terrible? :)
Yes, not to reduce but to let the expectation go totally. NOBODY will upvote your posts. You just blog and write or show what you like. That's it.
Google Translate is almost perfect! If you will not mention it I would think you are writing on your own without using it.
