It took me 3 months to learn how it really works and I am still learning. Whenever I think that I understood everything I discover something new.
Thats what I noticed when I introduce Steemit to someone. The most people think that it is very similar to other social medias and that you can share anything and get followers. But the more time you spend here the more you learn. Many users give up quickly and leave when they notice the difference.
If we see Steemit as a future job and investment our attitudes will change.
Only when you open your eyes to what you don't know.
