Steemit is like anything else low hanging fruit gets picked first and the most, if your posts resonate with a whale you can score a nice chunk. If you get 600 minnows you might get 6-10 sbd but one whale on partial might get you 80+. It's very unrealistic to expect a living income from just average posts. You have to grab the hearts and minds to generate big returns.
Oh I know, this wasn't my plan to try to make money online but things happen. I do other things too, like invest in domain names and resell them, and cryptocurrency.
