Hi @grecy.. I suggest you check out this post here... This would help you out as you are starting your journey on HIVE.
Don't feel bad about your rewards now, and don't compare to others who may have contents that seems less in quality to yours. They may have passed through this phase you are on at the moment and built relationships with people around.
Right now, I think building relationships would be your focus now. Get to engage with people and post in right communities. This would help you in the long run although not immediately.
Edit:
By the way, I have followed you. Would be checking out on your account on some occasions. Keep creating great contents!
Thanks for following me. Please do check on me as I want to grow here too and I really need to learn more. Thank you again.
I will visit the link you provided now.
