I'm not satisfied.😞😣😔
I'm not gonna post my drawings in this blog but, i'm gonna say something that has been hurting me the most in a while..
I do so much hardwork in my drawings and i post them everyday hoping in the next post i would earn some money... But my hope turns out to go in vain.. My drawings hardly reach even 1$. I question myself is my drawing not worth it? Are my drawings not worthy enough to be upvoted?
The results which i'm getting are so not satisfying and it hurts a lot.. I dont know what to do and i'm stuck... I've had great hopes for steemit but the hopes are slowly decreasing now...😖😔😫
Am i not doing something which i have to do? Or am i simply not worth it?
If you have any suggestions on what to do, please drop it down in the comment section. I'll be glad to hear it..

You are an incredibly talented artist. Don't give up here! Steemit's economy rises and falls everytime someone blinks. At first it's hard to make anything, but you have gathered quite an incredible following! Just keep at it and eventually your posts will be making a lot more!
Hey man, your art is great, but I bet you don't do it only for the money. It's nice to be rewarded for good work on here, but if you only focus on that, it will be sadly disappointing.
You have been doing well, gaining followers. Stay persistent and you will succeed.
You can try to encourage people to respond and engage with your post. Maybe ask questions, hold competitions or make a repetitive series that keeps people coming back!
Make friends and network. The real value here is working with people on projects. Do you do graphic art?
You are very kind... Thanks for such valuable words...
No no dont do graphics art
I think the problem is not enough people are seeing it. It's not that your artwork is lacking in any way. I only noticed it incidentally on the new category. But that was only by chance. I think as more people follow you, and click resteem, which in turn creates more viewers which will like and comment on your great work, the rewards will come. I think it is all about consistency as Steemit says and then your following will grow:

Please don't get discourage @asmartian . Your art is amazing. But you are still new on Steemit, just like I do. We probably signed up around the same time. My posts don't make a lot of $ too but there are things that I did that help to boost my presence here on Steemit. 1) Try to connect with the art community here on Steemit 2) Participate in art contests
One of my artist friends, Kaylinart spent 12 hours/day for about a year here on Steemit to build her presence. And now she is a whale and rank #19 as top authors on Steemit. I strive to be like her. I know the $ is 0 now but I believe persistence and hard work will produce positive results in the long run. All the best to you.

It's hard and it takes time, effort and patients. To be found takes a lot of luck sometimes... i was reading an article and for some reason i looked at all the people that follow that person... of a list of a 100 people i literally randomly clicked on your name... it took me here... i opened this... and went to look at your drawings... now im staying and i will upvote your drawings ... my point is... don't judge your own ability, talent, skill by the amount of upvotes you get on a social platform... you are an incredible artist... but it takes a long time for enough people like me to find people like you for it to gain critical mass... but if you persevere and keep posting it will happen...
good luck
