If you dont make big money on Steemit, but you see the potential to establish yourself into the community, than find a way how Steemit workes out for you.
-You can use steemit as a diary, all posts are stored for ever on the blockchain.
-You can use Steemit to meet interesting people
-Use your blog to as a tool to give, not to recive...
Have fun and stay creative!
If you use Steem in that way while ignoring the money aspect it doesn't sound that bad, but then again, the money aspect is what makes Steem awesome and most come for that reason.
They think it is easy to make money here but it isn't. They simply have the wrong expectations and go back to Twitter, Facebook, Wordpress or whatever and make $0 there for years.
Basically what @Teutonium said below:
If they all knew that before they probably wouldn't quit so early or join in the first place.
Im not ignoring the money aspect, i see myself making some income here but like you said it can be a long way to that goal.
But thinking about money, hiw much my posts make the first way is making me sick. It drains my creative and motivational energy.
To not quit i have to see what other things i get back for my invested time and the earlier metioned points are some of them.
My steemit careier is a long term investment thats why i honor your endurance man!
Thank you Bronko, just keep working.
Like you said, it is a huge time investment.
