Make the investment, make the investment, that's all I have been doing, I have never cash out, I always have a little giveaway and I invest in steem power. I have never had a post that has made 100USD and it really does not bother me. I just keep at it, continue to make good content and have fun well doing it. I realize very early if you focus on payout you would end up mentally f.... and even when someone comments and their comment worth more than my post, i enjoy it because am starting to attract the kind of people I would like upvoting my post. Soon I would get the point where I would enjoy my payment for now, I am just happy I found steemit and I am getting something out of this social media buzz. I have twitter, facebook, instragram, etc, i ain't get shit from them, I rather invest my time and money here...
