Such Beautiful work, mate. Congrats on getting in the Top 5!
Yeah, @luzcypher is right. You have to be in it for the long game. It can take time.
If it takes longer time than you'd hoped, it doesn't mean you're not talented, or more importantly, that others don't see and hear your talent. It just means that things can take time to get traction here. You've only been here since March. I think you're doing great.
You should read Luz's recent post about growing your steemit account. It is spot on!

Looking forward to hearing more from you, mate.
Blissful blessings and smiles
in joy
