RE: Stay motivated, Don't let Steemit disappoinment become Steemit failure.

in #rant7 years ago

Great message!

I joined a year ago but only started posting last month because I was intimidated by the high paying posts all being crypto based. I'm not very savvy in that area. When I popped in to take a look last month I saw a broader range represented and decided to give it a shot.

I write what I like but I do put a lot of time and effort into writing and editing; trying to either entertain or give emotionally of myself for the benefit of readers.

I followed a lot of @shayne's advice. I try to spend time focusing on the new intros and commenting with genuine recognition of what they've posted and I've gained many followers that way.

Three weeks in I have 109 followers and my posts generally see a worthwhile payout. Not hundreds of dollars but I'm breaking 15 frequently and have been within spitting distance of 100 a couple of times.

It's not going to replace my income or anything but I'm doing what I love (writing) and getting some remuneration for it. I think that's a damn good deal 🙂

Coming here with the expectation of just posting and getting rich is bound to disappoint. It takes engagement and patience.

Yah, you'll never make it as a small fry if profit is your only drive :)
