Exactly. I tell people about Steemit all the time - online, at work, at Walmart, etc. Whenever I am discussing reselling, Steemit is an option I mention as another way to improve their lives if handled correctly.
Sadly, just as many follow through on Steemit as follow through on reselling. Not many. I see the same people doing the same thing every day. Just trudging along. Existing but not much else.
Many talk with me about reselling or even Steemit and they all have excuses. "I don't have time." is my favorite to hear. They don't have time to sign up and if nothing else, curate content - right on their phones that they have plenty of time to browse Facebook at every opportunity.
It just boggles my mind sometimes.
You cannot help those that do not wish to help themselves.
