RE: July 5th, My 1st Steemit Anniversary (My Personal Independence Day)

in #steemit7 years ago

That is awesome to hear about your successes and early on failures. I think a lot of people that are just trying now are experiencing the same things that you did near the beginning. I guess it's about perseverance but just like you felt back then I look forward to the day when I can wake up to a $300 or $500 post. I worked a few hours today but I only made $10 for that shift because everybody was out celebrating for the 4th of July while I had to work because I am having trouble paying my electricity bill this month. Having said that I do think I have seen an increase in my own payouts and I think in time if I persevere I will get better just as you have and I always look forward to all of your posts.

Thanks, @jeezzle! The platform was very different back when I started. We had fewer users so it was easier to get discovered and the currency was also worth around $3-$4 so it was easier to make good money back then. I think Steem has a good potential to hit that price and higher in the near future. You're so right, the time/day you post can definitely impact post payout. I've found that 11am and 9pm CST are the best times of the day to post. Also, posts published on Fri-Sun don't seem to pay as well, in my experience. Mon-Thurs, 11am and 9pm CST seem to be the "sweet spots".
