That's what's so cool about Steemit. It really motivates you to go out and keep trying. It's not like the old days where you have to work for free for years on your photography before you make a cent off it.
I've always wanted to write, but have been too lazy and scared to really try it. Now I can't wait to try to write posts. I'm learning, and hopefully improving, and I'm earning money while I do it.
I think Steemit is helping a lot of creative people pursue their talents.
