I have written three months hundreds of posts before my Steemit account took off. It is a patience game and you need to fight for every little bit.
One big tip is do NOT use just Steemit but DTube, DLive, DSound, dMania, Utopian because these platforms upvote themselves. Steemit will never upvote anything as that could hurt the ecosystem.
