I don't know how your schedules are but I suggest you engage more in the community. Support other creator's contents and I tell you, you'll get more support.
Try following curation trails too, that way your HP is working for you and you earn curator's rewards even when you're busy offline.
Lastly, try participating in some other community's contests. Most of them come with rewards for the winners. Again, that would help you gain visibility.
In summary, show up more, blog more and engage more.
I don't know if you're aware of Hive Echo contests. It's another way to earn some few cents too.
I can tag you on the post if you want
