That's the thing, putting a lot of time . For people that's the toughest part, this is waht i was discussing with @janton on that other post, people are not patient enough to stay on steemit and the retention rate is only 6% out of the people who join in here. people need to learn to give it more time and they will get to the required spot too.

Retention is low, and while some of it is patience, it's an uphill climb, much steeper than it needs to be. I don't know if it has to be effortless, but it could be lots of effort and greater reward. Waiting for STEEM to go back up seems to be most people's plan for success here and that's hardly something any of us control.

I'm afraid what's biting into the retention now is are all the folks who are waiting weeks to get approved, and then forgetting they even have an account or getting fed up with the fact that it took so long. We've got folks that don't even get to the "patience" part. :)
