First of all, you're putting-up good contents and you write well. So, keep it up.

It's true that new users who doesn't have a connection in this network will have a hard time to get noticed however, there is more possiblity to be successful now compared to before. We already have Dapps that will support contents and authors for a specific type of interest: @steemhunt, @actifit, @ntopaz, @tasteem, @utopian-io, @dlike, @dcooperation, @dclick, @dtube, @steempress-io ...etc

If you know a new user who's having difficulty, please lead them to those Dapps. I personally benefit from Dapps just by participating to the task request, contests, & engagement.

Anything is possible here in Steem, just be creative, & enjoy ;) Please help spread the word...
