A lot of the new people are only on here because they think they can make a quick buck. Steemit is an opportunity and like Thomas A. Edison said
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
So you got to put in the work if you want Steemit to work for you.
Namaste
steemit is not a place where you can earn alot in such a short time actually its a long term game and many of the people cant understand that, all you have to do is put all of the hardwork in as you said
