But once they join steemit, first week, second week, third week, reality sets in and they find out the hard way that being successful in steemit does not come easy and steemit is not a get rich quick outfit where you register, post any garbage and see money doubling by the hour
This is the way of weeding out the non-serious ones.
I like to think I, and you, are in the 1% you mentioned. Success is what you make of it and as the saying goes, you get out what you put in
nice one @goldendawne and yes, I couldn't agree with you more. Even though we are still far away from the 1%, we surely are heading in that direction this year! lets keep steeming hot and thanks for the comment and support.
Absolutely! Like you, who is using steemit as an income-based lifestyle, I too am here for more than just post, comment and leave.
Long term? Oh yes... this is my career now and hopefully in about five years the additional amount and monetary resources we'll need here to retire for good.
sure and love the spirit. 5yrs you say! well, we will be swimming with the whales and feeding the dolphins in 5yrs time ;)
