IMO, surviving on SteemIt is about being too stubborn to give up. :0)
And to find like minded people, who are too stubborn to give up too. And then get your heads together and work something out.
I’ve been networking intensively since I came here, and if it weren’t about the people I met, the initiatives we started to support each other and the little guys, I think I would have given up a long time ago.
The day I realized I didn’t care for the money anymore, that it was all about the community, was the day I learned that I will probably survive on SteemIt, one way or the other.
Instead of focusing on the lack of help from the top - which, if it would be different, could help many survive - we are focusing on building a strong community that is all about supporting each other and paying it forward.
The only way we can survive SteemIt is together.
That's true that networking is really important and i saw that you are good at networking and promoting and helping other steemians, and that's a great step for your bright future on Steemit,iam sure you are going to archive more success here.
