Well for starters, the #nsfw tag should only be used if there is actually something clearly #nsfw about the post. As in, an #nsfw picture, mostly. By default, most Steem websites like steemit.com, steempeak.com, etc., basically hide all #nsfw posts unless a user has specifically opted in to view #nsfw posts. The post thumbnail is hidden, the blurb of the first bit of text is hidden. I just read your post "The Many Personalities of Natashya Monroe - The Dominatrix" and for instance, I don't think you should use #nsfw tag for a post like that.

But really, Steem in general is a tough nut to crack for a newcomer regardless of what kind of content you are posting. Although it is still being sold as a place that rewards quality content, what Steem really does is reward networking. If you haven't already, join some Steem Discord communities, make some Steem friends, network a little. Of course you may not have time for all that shit - but that is the best way to start earning is to make some connections with people and communities here.

Good luck! I like your style :)
