You put a lot of effort in this post and I like that you are honest when you maybe didn’t do something the best way as I can totally relate myself being a newbie. There is so much to learn to be successful on Steemit.
I have heard of the 3 C’s. Content, consistency and community. You mentioned them all.
It took a whole day (24hrs) when i am typing it lol... There is so much to learn mate, so dont focus on earning, focus on learning.....
Thanks for stopping by 😊
