I dont earn a lot on my posts, but I find that with the art contests and photo challanges etc it makes me want to do it. I wouldn't be drawing as much or have the inspiration. I try not to get down about others earning lots and me not.
I must admit its a shame to see any steemian go =( I must add you to my list of peoples posts to check out. But I find it easier on discord to see the posts.
On the discord channel steemwales were getting a good group of people =D
Dont go just yet.... i think it helps if you have friends on here actual friends not online because they do help boost your posts and will always help you.
If I can help in anyway, let me know =D
