Thunk see mentioned it - patience is key - when i started i felt similar - i posted the best ever written marketing posts of the world - i did it with some personal post for my first 2 months on steemit - and guess what - I earned not one single cent on any post at all!
I stopped using steemit thinking a total nonsense - a friend got me back, this time I read the white paper, followed some help guide, i read, i learned and after three posts I earned some cents, that made me happy - I continued and the fun came with some dollar posts - i discovered a huge community of like-minded people. Did not know there are apps, chats etc - i learned and listened. Still enjoy it. Patience is not my key strength at all - but i learned that too.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Totally cheering :)
So you're in the marketing world, what do you work on?
