I want to do what you're doing but, I'm a little scared. It's actually helpful to know that you put that much effort into it because it can feel like there are some people who "get it" naturally and other's who don't. You worked at it and analyzed it and adjusted as you went along even though you were probably scared too. That means it can be replicated (the learning process, not the content). So, thanks.

That's right. I believe that what I've done can be replicated to a large extent. Of course, not all results will be equal, but I think I've been putting enough interesting and unique stuff out there to make it worthwhile. :)
Yes, you have. I'll take 'results not typical' over 'results clearly an inexplicable fluke' any day :)
I've actually spent considerable time reading posts here on Steemit and my impression is that those who are making good money do need to work hard to earn it. The very first few to join Steem have the advantage in that there was not as much competition for the daily allocation of rewards as there is now, and it will only get worse as more people join. Since this system is based on Steem Power, those who got in early will always have the advantage.
My understanding is that this system was designed for the long haul rather than for making a quick buck, so contributors are encouraged to leave their wealth in the system rather than cash out. If Steem does the same as Bitcoin, then even if you don't earn a lot of Steem, by waiting, your few Steem Dollars today could be worth an awful lot in the future!
Having a little bit of Steem would definitely be better than having none when it goes mainstream but if there's a chance that I can earn more by making some improvements, I'm willing to try.
Agree
Absolutely! If one does not try, then there is not much hope for success. Failure is just another lesson and a reason to try again!
Quite true. I don't mean to come off cheesy with my optimism but I've seen enough improbable things happen in my life :)
You really got my attention now; care to share some of those improbable situations with the world? Hopefully those improbable situations ended with positive results.That sounds really encouraging @elementm!
In my case, I've never been "lucky" as far as winning stuff; I generally have to work for what I have. However, I have almost always come out on the winning end where it really matters - health, living conditions and the like. I feel very fortunate and I'm grateful for what I have.
I also believe that we are able to influence our destiny to some extent by what we think, so optimism is a prerequisite to obtaining something you desire.
I wish you much success!
Thanks! You actually inspired me to write a post about one of those improbable situations: https://steemit.com/steemit/@elementm/i-shouldn-t-even-be-on-steemit . I wish you success too!
