I totally get you, my man. I felt the exact same way a year ago when I joined. But I kept posting and posting. And also commenting and commenting which will get you everywhere here, imho. High quality Commenting that is ...where you are adding to the Discussion at hand.
It took me like 15 Posts before I hit $1. And it's been peaks and valleys ever since. But in the last couple of weeks been making some headway as I am consistently getting well over a $1. And that's after one year of working my arse off here. Next I go for $2 consistently etc..etc..
But sooner or later I know it will pay off. Steem will go up after SMTs are released. It's going to be huge in what I have observed and studied.
One of the Keys is to get a few fans that you catch their eyes. Mine was two people @getonthetrain and @brianphobos. Evidently they liked my Content and started upvoting me.
Kind of like me with you :)
Anyway, also joining @thealliance is another great step to take. Which I did last Feb. You should have no problem getting accepted with your Writing prowess !
Btw, I put you on my manuel curation trail. So I will be visiting your blog quite often ;)
Just keep on keeping on , and I think you will go places here :)
