I would say that there are a lot of different things you can do. I personally have found what works for me, is just to get out into the community and put yourself out there. Find people who share common interests with you and go into their comment sections and leave comments like crazy. I would say is specially asked questions to show that you are interested in what they are doing. They will be more likely to respond if you leave a question. And that also means they will be more likely to Remember You. And henceforth to stop by your place. Also while you're leaving comments invite them to your place. The other thing that I would say that may help, is you could check out places like @NEWBIERESTEEMDAY. This is a group of really awesome people who are dedicated to helping new people by helping them be more visible and by doing other things to help. And my advice to you, is definitely to stay away from Bots. Grow your following organically and interact with everybody so that they know who you are. And also my dear friend remember to be patient. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. But I believe if you do it correctly it could be a pay for your driver lessons scheme. We let me know if this was helpful to you? And keep up your good work. You're doing a good job, just don't give up. I send you and yours my love until we meet again my friend.

You are absolutely right. Leaving valuable comments/questions on one's post is one great way to be able to build a good relations with other steemians especially big fishes. And this is one I missed to do, I admit I am so lazy and maybe perhaps I am tired already from work since I work 11 hours every day except Thrusdays and Fridays.

Yes, you are a dedicated family man. So I know that you wear yourself out taking care of them. It can be hard to do everything that we want in the little time that we are given each day. That is why I try to thank people when they find the time to stop by my place and spend time with me. Because it is so valuable.
