RE: Being consistent is key with most things you do in life including Steem.
I think consistency is important in all things in life that you want to succeed in , so it stands to reason it would apply here as well.
I joined far too late, didn't start 'earning' until the price dropped, and only sometimes buy steem, also I try to post somewhat consistently not letting more than two days go between my posts, but I've managed weeks at a time that were every day.
I really Love steemit. It gave me the love of Blogging again that I had lost somewhere around 2010 when it really sort of fell on the wayside as Facebook sort of took over. So, I hope our steemit continues on.
Next I am actually considering vlogging. Again, another thing that is uber big but I am very late coming to it, but if I do it, it will be to add another fun thing to my internet life.
I WANT to earn in our new Virtual lives, but I also want to enjoy living in that world. I want to live in a 'nice neighbourhood' in that virtual world and Steemit is my favourite village there! :)
Before Steemit I never was very active on any Social Media. I learned to open up here which is sort of against my nature. It's been a fun journey and it continues to be fun.
Good luck with the vlogging efforts!
Like you I try everything in my power to make Steem an enjoyable experience. I focus on the positive and that works for me.
