You are doing better than I am. Just don't get discouraged, it takes time.
I did notice a big jump in my account when I started engaging with people more things like the Pay It Forward Contest @pifc and the Global Homestead Collective #ghsc or even The Red Fish contest by @paulag.
The point is there are tons of communities, find one plugin and see where it goes. I actually met your friend @trincowski through #payitforward, and it people like that who will help keep you motivated.

I stink at content creation, but the more I create the better it is getting.

The only other things I can think of is learning to use tags, possibly some of the restreem services (alot of people will restreem for free), or using discord groups to do post promotion.
