Nice post and writing tips. I feel your frustration, I am new here as well and still trying to find my niche. While I am no expert, what I have been doing is trying to find folks that have similar interest and read their articles and comment in the hopes that it sparks their interests. I have always wanted to be in a community like this one and I truly feel that you need to make those connections but be real with it and be real to yourself. Also, don’t compare yourself to the whales, its not fair to you as you are so new. Lastly, what I am doing personally is not thinking about “failing” just keeping plugging along and write quality articles—you definitely have the talent. Its helps that you have guys like @danielsaori taking notice and holding a contest. Good luck @christalopez

Hey @andykapps, I share your "niche" search - and decided that my niche will come to me. Meanwhile, I'm doing what you are doing, plugging away, following people with the same interests, and commenting, commenting, commenting. I love getting to know people in real life, and Steemit is no different. I love the interactions here, especially when you can start up a good conversation within a post.
You said something really important, and it's great advice - don't compare yourself to the whales.
My intro made less than $1.00, and I've had several posts earn exactly $0. I just figured that's the way it was supposed to be...lol...I knew I was a beginner, and it was going to take time.
Thank you seaslim, very informative, cheers
Thank you @andykapps for the great advice. The common message for newbies like me, appears that it's not just about posting your life story, or your mood, but more about connecting with like minded others. Following and Thank you
