Different ways to earn more on hive

Since I have been trying to make money here with hive, I have been trying to search on many ways to make easy money with my post even without not having followers because I see that most articles that has lots of earnings are from authors that has many followers.

But I do think that there should exist a way to make extra without having followers. One thing that I noticed is that most articles that earn more do have in common same users that vote them with high numbers, like @OCD and @ecency. I still know little about ecency as I will have to delegate to them to earn extra ecency points which can be used to boost our articles.

Apart from ecency that we earn more points when we delegate to them. I would like to know more ways to earn or grow my hive earnings without having followers or with small hive power.
