Sounds like you are giving up too soon. Keep working on it and you will be successful.Also, Getting rich overnight is rare. I've been on for 4 days and I'm getting a lot of small change like at most a dollar, but I know I just got to keep working on it.
My sister came onto steem for the first time today and posted her first article and made 60 bucks, she did that by posting some photographs. Maybe you should try that.
Im just happy for anyone who is successful, and I am on steem because I enjoy the community, and it is a place for me to "Release Steam"
good pun :)
I like the expression you use in your last sentence, it could even be the motto of Steemit
