i think the best advice would be to find your niche and stick to it. I'm here to write fiction, and occasionally politics about ecology or communism. decide what your blog will be about it try to do your best. It will be disheartening when you put in work and get no reward. one way to avoid this is to use bots.
-make posts from 1pm - 5pm NYC time
-use good images
-catchy headlines
-participate in writing competitions
-decide if you want to use bots or not
-consider investing in some STEEM to power up your account
good luck
