Hey @emmyem84 good to see you, missed seeing you and @bradlovesbeer on here. It's not just you guys, even the very very active posters who were doing 3-4 posts per day are down to a couple times per week.
As far as being skeptical, Steem is still at a decent price and you were doing pretty well on here so if I were you I'd milk it while I could and just convert your Steem into Bitcoin and then to cash as opposed to powering up.
I'm actually in power down mode right now. Not because I've completely given up on crypto or even Steemit, but I want to get all of my intial investment out which was probably about $2,000. And also I personally think Ethereum will see better gains than Steem, at leastin the short to midterm future so powering down and puttinga lot of my money into Ethereum, gonna wait for that to get closer to $1,000 and then pull some money out of crypto.
I'm probably going to keep my steem power at around 1000 and then everything over that just turn to Bitcoin or Ethereum.
Do you create any content about your eBay business for a blog or anwyhere outside of Steemit? If so just take 30 seconds to repost here and its basically just an extra distribution channel and a few more bucks for your content.
I'll be the first to admit if steemit was my only thing I probably wouldn't be on here but since I'm already creating for Youtube may as well post it here.
I was really hoping to see you hit your 1,000 goal by August....

You are right..... I am going to start posting again. I really want to hit my goal again too. I really had some momentum going for a while. :) I just wrote a post...Thanks for the motivation @rulesforrebels!
