You have to write longer well researched posts.. Look at my blog, i was doing great, then my last two posts were total bombs (money wise) i thought they were good content, but steemit users didn't.. You have to just post whatever interests you, and not worry about the money part.. Or if u want to make an income from this, than you need to try to post what works(if something u post makes money, than keep posting more on that subject) but i wouldn't give up yet.
