In a relationship, I heard it often to other people if it wasn't working, you should quit it! In some point, maybe they are right but probably not on Steemit. Low or No payout is not the reason to think that your effort to this community is just a waste of time.
On this article, I wanna summarised to you the 7 reasons why you should stop to think about giving up on Steemit... As briefly as possible...
1. Steemit wasn't a burden, it's an enjoyable thing to do with your free time and if we earned - just a bonus.
If it wasn't to Steemit I could not imagine myself writing to add values to other. I wasn't even a writer or have any experience on blogging before Steemit. Given that English is not my first language, however, I could not resist the joy and excitement whenever I see and read other peoples blog. My little innocent mind is poured in every knowledge that I have read all the time that I spent in this wonderful community. Earning is just a little bonus from the community.
2. Too many things to discover.
It's an awesome thing that I learned so much right from the very start when I created an account, it was like an endless learning. The more I read the more I am aware that I don't know anything. Every blog has all something in common denominator which is to add values to their readers not only that but also if you read also the comment like I always do. You will notice you gained more values that the community will benefit from it, every experience that shared of every steemians.
Every time other steemian posts about travel it feels like you're travelling too. Whenever they share the experience what it feels like to be in the classy restaurant and food looks really good it feels the same way right in very front of your computer. Good reasons that low payout doesn't stop you.
3. Gaining more experience.
I remembered a good verse in the bible that written in 1 Corinthians 10:11 "Now all these things happened unto them for examples:". Reading other person experience is a way better to learn. Like a great blog shared @lukestokes about his article how he loss money on trading being a good example to us. Other people experiences gives so much advantages even if we hardly see a dollar in our pending payouts sections.
4. Blogging brings you awesome memories.
Have you read the white paper on Steem? Are you aware that all we have created here on Steemit would remain in the blockchain and will not be deleted as long as internet and blockchain exist? This is the few reasons that low/no payout doesn't discourage you from creating valuable content. It creates wacky and memorable memory of you and me right on the blockchain. I feel way better on it than day trading on exchanges because it doesn't leave any mark to you and to the community, meanwhile, blogging is making yourself more valueble to others by putting your effort creating a good content.
Imagine our great grandchild have a chance to see your article in the future because of the awesome technology we are using on Steem. They would feel very proud of you for the values and effort you have given out. Even if you didn't talk to them personally, however, on this article as if you are speaking to them, telling not to give up as well from what they persue in their life. Just what like you are showing them right now.
5. You become more adaptable to the new technology.
This thing is revolutionary but I admit it to myself even I studied computer programming still have a hard time to grasp all things we need to learn inside. But before we knew it, we become more internet player because of continues blogging and engaging with this society. We used the Markdown and HTML codes often to enhance our writing, little we know we improve a lot compared to the time we created our very first blog. Learning gives us so much that it will serve us for many years to come in which I value more than $$$.
6. You grow and thinking a lot in a tremendous way.
The mind is the greatest asset we had, not the stocks, nor the house, or Bitcoin. Our mind is our greatest asset of all. This tiny thing between our ears is what we need to nourish every time to create more asset. When we create a blog this little tiny thing is put to work. Like a muscle in our body, it grows bigger and bigger every time we used it. This thing can do so much, more than what we could have imagined. By blogging, we tremendously increased our mental capacity by thinking what is a great blog that the community will benefit more? By reading the blog and trying to add a valuable comment, this brain is put to work every time.
7. On Steemit, the best is yet to come...
As long as we are in this awesome community, this place has so much space to grow. Did you listen to @jerrybanfield? Steemit will possibly reach $10 per token in just 10 months or even more according to him. So many things to come especially to the upcoming Hard Fork 20 Velocity that has the plan to surpass the Reddit platform, could you imagine what would the Hard Fork 30 or Hard Fork 40 would bring to us in the near future? So many exciting things to come for us inside of the Steemit Platform. Hold on, buckle up and relax because it gonna be a bumpy ride going to Andromeda galaxy with Steem! Steem on!

Hey @hiroyamagishi! Your article acts as boost/inspiration for the newbie like me. Very informative. I don't there are no other reasons. My understanding is, If we should focus on creating the quality content and engage with other, money will flow automatically. Keep posting good stuff. Thanks
4th point was new and different, cool!
Thanks for the article, pretty useful for beginners!
thanks I'm glad you devoted some of your time to my blog, I must follow you from now on

Very nice post of encouragement. I also want to share what terry @surpassinggoogle has to say if ever you're getting frustrated. Try reading it, It also can help.
im one day old here. i love your post. i found myself really thinking more about what i could add to the community of value. i really never put that much thought into my posts on other networks. inalso find myself being more engaged in the posts of others, and not so much for the steem, but more so because i find others are putting effort into what they post and im lerning so much. thanks again for the post. i think everyone should read this.
thanks, you will enjoy being here, just engaged more to the community
GREAT POST
VERY POSITIVE!
BEST
:D

The message is a good one, people shouldnt be on here to get easy money...its an investment. Not only in a platform but mostly in yourself. Everyone benefits from having good mutual relations here and in the end that will be the one thing proven worthy of the time and effort put in.
indeed very true... engaging is a healthier way to grow this community...followed you
Great Post!
The motivation on steemit is rather low at the minute and this has given me the boost i've needed to carry on!
I'll check out some of your other posts too
thank you! appreciated your comment really nice to have you on here as well
Awesome to see that you're still going strong on steemit, I still remember your introduceyourself!
Keep it up, steem on!
yeah, @sirwinchester you're always very supportive... this place is awesome because of the people like you sir
Another good one, hiroyamagishi - Domo Arigato!
thanks! checking your blog as well :D
These are great reasons! This is very encouraging to those who have considered quitting. I love coming up with blog posts and I love having an outlet for my poetry. I really like creating funny memes. Some of my other favorite subjects to write and read about are psychology, philosophy, health, fitness, travel and food. But I have read some interesting posts in lots of other topics as well. Cryptocurrency is an interest of mine, and I find the Steemit help posts useful. You are so right with this post. Thanks for sharing! RESTEEMING!
glad you loved it @amarie checking your blog as well
Interesting post! People who are here for short term money will soon leave the platform realizing that this ain't easy money rather hard work.
I just converted all my SBD to Steem Power when both had almost equal value in the market. We're one of the earliest adopters of crypto. The best is yet to come!
Let's see how it goes.
Cheers! :)
steem on! steem is the way of the future! followed you...@wandereronwheels

You make some good points, its not all about the money. I have been on steemit for a few days and I gotta say I have learned more here about things than I have in a long time elsewhere.

You got my upvote keep up the good work! :)
