I used to try writing posts, and i got conflicted. Firstly my writing is not spectacular so I stopped authoring posts and now i mainly post comments on other peoples work. My job here is to try and make steemit a better place, the more i improve steemit the more steemit improves my shares portfolio in steem . . .
Before I would spend hours crafting a story for my blog post, now i just surf steemit and enjoy writing hopefully useful crud as comments onto others posts. This lets me improve myself because I am not spending two hours making a crafted post for profit, but I am spending two hours learning new crap to improve myself and satisfy myself as a human being.
LOL I would have no clue how to mine lol, but i can vote and I am learning how to make money : )
thank you for helping ; )
