Better tell them early that its not easy to earn rewards not unless they already have connections with the famous people in the platform.

Exactly. Yeah like if you are famous as heck, you'll be fine but regular ole plebs like me, you need to work and should be aware of it upfront. hehe :)

Yeah, that's the reality in steemit. I've been here for 11 months and have not yet enjoyed rewards like those that are in trending page :)

I had some trending payouts in the past but never anything like $1000. My biggest post was like $400 something and that was many months ago. I still do better than a lot of people here and for that I am grateful. :)

Great. Mind was around $60-$70 and its very seldom.

I have followed you for what it's worth! :) Glad you're still around. And hey, many people dream of $60 posts. XD There is always someone making more.

Most of my post are just around $10-$20 but its fine with me. I'll just enjoy every moment in the platform gaining friends and connections.
