Earning steem is easy if you'd dedicate your time and effort to the task. There are several ways I can recommend but it will be based on your preferences and what you are good at.

First, you have to write about something you know very well. It is making money, writing fiction, football?  When people see you know what you are talking about, like you are an authority in your own right, they'll upvote you. However, you can only achieve this by being consistent and keeping to your niche. Don't cross-carpet with every post. Today you[re all about fashion, tomorrow its about wildlife hunting. People will run far away from your blog (except you're a whale of course).

Then, there are some platforms that vote people really well if you write what they like and support. Are you a science nerd? Then write scientific posts and use steemstem tag. They will upvote you if you follow their guidelines

Are you into sport (like I am), then write sport post using sprtshub.io, you'll get an upvote if your post is approved.

Also, you could consider using the esteem app and adding esteem as one of your tags. They upvote from time to time and their upvote can be massive at times.

Busy.org also rewards those that follow them and use their tags too.

There you have it. But then again, musing.io is a pretty good shot as well!

Have fun in your steemit journey
