What a sincere and at the same time accurate and useful post.
About the topic
Sadly, most people have come to this platform with the wrong idea - 'easy and fast money, without working for it'. It's not a surprise that when such attitude 'crashes' into the Steemit reality they get disappointed.
On the other hand, so far my experience here proves that when you are active and engaging in a community or with certain people that you actually follow and read you will be rewarded not only with new knowledge but with recognition and of course financial benefit.
I even tried to create a Not a guide to Steemit a month ago, in attempt to help minnows like me.
There should be more posts like yours.
I am glad that I've stumbled upon your blog. Followed for more.
Well thanks for visiting and making such a fine comment!
Im really glad you stated this as it is not just hearsay - engage well and the rest will follow.
I concede the road is longer for new accounts these days, but the journey hasn't changed with regards to the right steps to take.
Thanks for your input and the follow!
