Under steemit search look for terms such as "minnows" "giveaway" "free SBD". Once you saved enough SBD/Steems you can buy into bot boosters or invest in steem power to gain more steem power for voting. The higher voting will allow you to earn more on every vote.

Also curate, upvote on as many good posts you can. Posts that have little upvotes but good content so that you get more awards at the end of the seventh day. Or simply write great content and have people upvote your posts.

Best of luck ;)
