RE: How Much Would it Take For You to Quit Your Job and Work on Steemit Full-Time?
Great article! We have different realities but I guess if I have kids or a husband, I don't think I will make my him quit his job to become a full-time Steemian. Unless we find some other side hustle or something aside from steemit. Although this is a dream for most, it takes writing every day and some serious networking around here too.
People are partying around here for the rise of steem and sbd but we all know this is not forever. With all the drama around here on steemit and some people ruining things for us. But anyway, let's still wish steemit keep on enriching other people's lives.
I love how the minute that Steem went above $3, all I see is a daily (or sometimes multiple-times-per-day) update somewhere on the platform where an author (read: whale) is posting about how high Steem has risen! .. And each of their posts is earning $100+ just for saying what the value of Steem is ...
Everyone has their own path ... Blogging isn't for everybody. Although it can be a stress reliever :)
You're not joking on the amount of networking that you need to do on here to maintain a popular blog. It's a lot of consistent & hard work to get people to pay attention to you haha
One could earn some decent amount just by leaving engaging comments, especially on whales' posts haha. But I don't have all the time in the world to do that. I guess that is why some fellow bloggers who started the same month already surpassed my rep haha. It does not matter anymore as long as I'm earning a bit.
Yeah, I've found that the whales typically "swim I the same circles", and most of my comments wouldn't get a reply comment or upvote. I wrote it off as part of "the experiment" where whales stopped voting. We joined about the same time! :)
It seems like whale voting has changed a little, with more whales voting in small amounts.
Although with the jump in Steem price, I bet they pulled back again on sharing their votes..
