At this time, many people feel the pressure as the price drops and the interactions on platform slow down. Comments drop away, voting drops away, mood drops away. My advice is that this is the time to work.
I don't mean posting more necessarily, I mean engaging more, reading more, learning more, preparing more. At times like these people trying to optimize their return say 'it is not worth it now' and take a break, which means, those that are here are more likely to be the ones looking long-term.
this use to be what i do too. But when I met people and they changed my mindset, I believe even when the platform finds it hard to reward minnows , its the impact of the minnow that will speak one day.
consistency is a key to sucessful career. Make steemit your passion and post,upvote,comment and learn when You should not minding the SBD rise or fall. Remember"Impact before Income".
