Awesome post. I recently heard an interview with a successful blogger who said that getting an audience these days is about finding the right niche (at least at the beginning) - with Steemit each individual blog has the possibility of doing that. I think one of the problems is that people are only looking at things that they like and not considering the vast possibilities. Part of it is about getting the word out and connecting. Even if you aren't interested in a subject if you see a well done post you should share it on other social media. It all helps us.
