I have found that this is the case with everything, the people that put their effort into being of value to other people and being consistent in the things that they know will produce good results, no matter how much patience they have to endure, will yield the fruit of their labour.
I am glad I have been turned onto Steemit. It is the only platform I am active on with the intent to make this like home, and I have been studying content marketing for four years now.
I have not invested the time anywhere because most of the other platforms just do not align with what I value. Steemit , and every other decentralised platform does.
I am on this train for the whole ride.
Thanks for the motivation
