Here is one thing I suggest. If possible do an original art piece with the Steem Logo in it. A lot of the artist did Steem and crypto currency specific artwork to really take a foot hold. Then you can circulate your previous work into your blog posts. But yeah if somehow you can do a Steem specific piece of art and showcase it like you did in your first post with your picture in there then it seem all that much more real. One of the things that is tough to break through is because there are so many people posting other people's work or they are taking pretty girls pictures from instagram and pretending to be them. So if you make posts that are undeniably true and continue to connect with people it will start to build on itself. With you expecting your first child and being pretty people will gravitate to you. Here is a post I did about gaining a following from the ground up. I hope it helps!
