@lukebrn this sounds like an incredible initiative. I really do agree with you with you in terms of expectations. The truth is that this is an incredible opportunity, but with anything worth doing, it requires hard work and perseverance to succeed.

I'm looking forward to following the growth of this project!

On a similar note, I actually just created a Steemit guide that I put a ton of blood, sweat, and tears into. Thought you might find it interesting: Going Full Time On Steemit: A Practical Guide For Creators [PART I]
