You're very welcome, and like anything worth having, success here (or anywhere else), won't be handed to you, obviously.
I haven't had any money to invest in Steem directly (yet), but I'm satisfied where I am at this point. Just so you know, I don't really come up with great ideas for quality posts, and have really only had one that made much of anything, and that was only $41.xx, but I was happy. That wasn't even great though, at least compared to many others. However, as I mentioned, if you actually curate and comment with the best of intentions, it will pay-off, you're probably finding that out. I think it's a win-win; you make the community better, and grow your account simultaneously. As soon as I'm able however, I will be investing in some Steem. A little boost never hurts. lol Also, I Power Up ALL rewards.
Good Luck! I have a feeling you're gonna do just fine. ;-)
