RE: Reality check: Steemit is NOT about the money?

in #steemit7 years ago

It is easy to say that Steemit is not about making money when each of your posts gets $50+ or when you have hundreds of cryptocurrencies that you bought three years ago, or a well paid job, or wealthy parents....

I admit I came here mainly for the money, but as I wrote on my blog about making millions, money isn't everything.

I don't want to be here just for the money, I want to make friends, build a community and feel that my voice is heard. I have been posting for less than a week and already learned that posting ONLY for the money is painful and feels like shit. I also learned that spending an hour writing a blog post that gets $0.2 also feels like shit.

I am looking to find a balance between posting what I love and making enough money so I can dedicate myself to writing, because that is what I love to do.

Absolutely :) I try my best not to think about the rewards and concentrate on sharing my thoughts but it can still be painful at times to know that no one actually even read what I shared. Or should it even matter?

I think it is crazy to think it doesn't matter, we all need support. We all want to succeed, and success means something different to each one of us. But I doubt that anyone here think it is a success to spend an hour writing a post that no one sees, comments or votes on. If writing is the ONLY important thing, then why post it online. We need to be real

Hahaha... Telling it like it is... That's my man :)

Hey! If I am not going to make any more at least I am going to be honest! :)

Hahaha... I like you... I'm straight :)

Every time I find myself being dishonest or sneaky in anyways I hate myself, seriously, I hate it.
