When I started on Steemit I was in the dark and didn't really know what was going, and what to do to maximise my time and energy here. I tell you, those are the days/weeks when a lot of people give up. When you pour your heart out on a post and do your best job only to be rewarded with a $0 or 1 Cent, that is enough to send you packing. But you have to be mentally strong and keep the bigger picture in mind.
Therefore this is why community support groups like Steem Schools are a necessity. As a newbie if anything, you need direction, someone to hold you by the hand and guide you properly on your path to financial freedom here on Steemit. Most importantly, you need direction, guidance, motivation and reassurance that you are in the right place and that your efforts will pay off. However, it won't happen over night. You will reach your financial goals but you will have to work for it. Like Napoleon Hill said, "there is no such thing as getting something for nothing". You have to be willing to learn, to do things the right way and to invest and maximise your time and energy here, then you will see your earnings beginning to improve.
I do believe that Steem Schools provide the necessary education and tools to get everyone, on all levels, moving in the right direction. Even as a Dolphin or Whale, etc. We all need a constant reminder of how awesome of a project Steemit is and why it is in everybody's interest to add value to this platform. Steem Schools does just that. Education, Direction, Guidance, Motivation, Community, Friendship ...family.
See you on the top, Thank you for nice words
