Are the 'loudness wars' still a thing? I used to read more about this stuff, but have not done much recording lately and what I did was just for my own amusement. I can see that getting good source audio is essential for you to do your job, but I expect you have seen all the problems you list.
It may be worth spreading your posts out a bit until you build more of a following as they can only earn for a week. I saw one did pretty well, but you cannot take that for granted.
There are a fair few musicians on Hive, so you need to see where they hang out. You can cross-post to other communities.
Have fun!
