Tom, you have 4 posts and have 7 followers why give up so soon? Nobody said it is going to be easy but having the attitude that you have already been defeated means you have nothing left to gain. Go out there are comment on those "lesser photographers", get them to notice you, have them share your posts, become active in your community. You won't be making $1,000s over night, anything worthwhile takes time, energy and effort. You have talent, don't waste it by throwing in the towel so soon.

Post consistently every day, comment on 10 posts every single day. Share other photographers work. Make this your living and good fortune will be returned to you.
