Focus on 'original content' and the rewards will come. We're in a small pool of Steemians right now. We are Steemit pioneers no different than the pioneers who settled the west. Through shear determination they carved out a new world for themselves. Patience.

This is one thing I like to consider, that steemit is still in the very early stages.. However, this can be a good and a bad thing I think. What is your best explanation of 'original content' @brian-rhodes?

Good one!

In my opinion, 'original content' is that which is born from one's personal emotions or thoughts translated into words, images or work in order to satisfy one's desire to share using a public medium for the purpose of giving insight into one's psyche and to increase one's influence and
acceptance.

That's the more philosophical view. A less cerebral definition my be 'An expression of anything that is uniquely yours that you wish to share'.

Interesting, I will definitely be considering this thanks @brian-rhodes
