I hear you.. And I can relate to the things you say. - I have 500+ followers now and I had to take a break from Steemit, had the break before it went low and came back during the time it was still low but up-going..
So yeah, it feels I missed out on multiple things during that time. Both rewards but also followers. However, that's in the past now and I can't do anything about it. Just like I can't do anything about my power down I had to do.. - The future awaits.
I've seen several people starting out around the same time as me, people who got incredible rewards on their first/second posts. And had payouts of $2-5,000.. Meanwhile I made ~$500 from my posts at the same time.
Sure, I've always been incredible happy and satisfied with the results I've had, as Steemit truly changed my life, in a good way. Both in terms of $ but also in other ways. - Even so, I can't help to envy these people a little.. I want that piece of the pie too..
Some people also get's supported by whales from the get-go, meanwhile I've been struggling alone, for myself, with a bunch of low-sp-upvotes, that doesn't generate too much rewards. - However, I love the upvotes & comments I get. No matter if it's worth $0 or $100. - These upvotes can and most likely will be worth more in the future so if I can encourage these people from today, when they upvote my content, until then.. - I'll be on my way to create something truly awesome. - And that's what I'm trying to do.
Life isn't fair and some people will have more luck than me.. But I will increase my own luck by hard work, dedication and effort. :)
That being said.. If you feel like you should change things up a bit, I'm all for it. - Do what you feel is best. - Even if you fail or if that doesn't work out well for you.. It's never too late to change things once again. I'm rooting for you! :)
Thanks! With hard work and dedication we can't fail :D
You can say that again! - Hard work, dedication and effort. - We'll make it! :)
