Making pennies on a post- People put alot of work into creating content only to get paid crumbs
One of my friends doesn't join because of this, he went and saw my blog and told me : " you got some posts that made you 0.60$ that's nothing for all the trouble you had"... i told him "I'm starting out, it's normal for new people to not make that much money..."
People need to realize that social networks are like ladders, we need to climb them day by day, don't expect to make a post and bam 60$... after 1...2 years maybe, but not at the start, the only people that were able to do that much at the start were the ones that already had some following, like the hodgetwins or furiouspete, etc... they were already big youtubers in the fitness community...
I look at dtube /steemit as a 2 years investment, i'll keep posting, making my own content and in 2 years i will see where i go with it... yes it takes time, but i guess it's time well spent, at least it's better than me spending hundreads of hours in front of a TV screen or monitor watching TV shows or playing games right...
And people are leving because the price is going down... camon guys, the price can't always go up, if it did we were in a huge ass bubble, these types of corrections where the price lowers are healthy for the crypto market!
I think that is a solid plan you got there to stick with it for a couple of years. I have been on Steemit for about a year and a half now and I've come a long way from when I first started. So you are definitely headed in the right direction.
