Hello there! My first advice would be that don't expect anything at all, don't expect upvotes, don't expect your articles to be read, don't expect your articles to get rewards, etc... That way bro you won't get frustratedand when the fruits of your haardwork transform into reality you will be surprised and delighted.

My second advice would be that write quality and original content, just take your time and relax.

My third advice, engage with the community; read posts about the things you know or like, make quality comments not the typical "nice post, upvote I upvote you"

If you're doing this for money I understand you, I'm doing it for the money, too, like most people here but like I told you don't think too much about the money, if you work hard, it'll come. Cheers!
