Yep! Just post what you think interesting. Hopefully you will hit an audience. I have posted a few of my articles that I later incorporated on Kindle books. That was something else that started out promising but faded out. I used to get about $20/mo from Amazon - now I may get that for the whole year. They say 30 thousand + books get submitted into Kindle everyday. Hard to get the comments and ratings that will propel your book in the rankings where you will make real money.

Yeah that is tough to crack because of the competition. I have been working on my website since 2011. I self-taught myself everything and I have a small following but unless you are on page one of google it is tough to get anywhere.

I had the same issue with my blog. Never went anywhere. I even tried Squidoo but that only resulted in spam complaints when I posted affiliate links. Just trying different things to find something that works. The great thing about Steemit is we all benefit mutually when a post goes "viral". My best payouts have been from posting comments.

My best post made $95. It took me all year to make that with adsense. lol I am finding I am getting my best website traffic with social networks. I just started making a few youtube videos for posts but again, hard to get views for a post unless it is really controversial or funny.

Highimpactflix has a video on youtube showing the video of the highest paid youtubers. They are a bunch of shallow braggers rapping about how much money they make and the houses cars they own. Millions of views. People posting real content or especially anything politically incorrect get blocked or even deleted by youtube. Alot of those youtubers are now on steemit. I found about about Steemit from a youtube video. I can find meaningful info and real interaction while getting rewarded for it.

All the best to you and thanks for commenting. I am following you now also. I just upvoted your comment. It took me a while to realize you can make decent money with the comments also. Another great feature here.
