Bang on!
Many people have come and gone on Steemit although still being in beta for many reasons, mostly is they aren't getting enough donations to their satisfaction.
We do get deflated while looking at others posts we are all unique and see things differently, but their is an audience out there for everyone, even if it means bringing people that know you personally to come and see your work, they know you and like what you have to say will follow and support you also.
Also everyone needs to mingle in others blogs, chat and create a blog community which may be in community's that are already going on discord, or steem chat or other platforms bloggers use, where you can interact with others that blog that may want to see what you are up to also.
Your five tags are important also which comes down to weather you want them to rate within steemit or on seo, doing a mix might help, also putting your blog out on other social platforms also.
Keep you chin up and write what makes you happy and your passionate about.
