God bless you for this comment, I thought as much too, you took the words right out of my mouth, most times you put in countless number of hours compiling a quality post and won't even make $1. Very discouraging and next time, you won't be as motivated to invest that amount of time and energy into compiling another post. Not saying the quality of post doesn't matter, of course it does, are we going to overlook the fact that she built herself an audience first whether organically or not, that I don't know for sure. Not taking any credit away from her cos which ever way she did it involves hardwork and strategic planning. She has the exposure and quite easy to pull that amount per post. Believe me, if she decides to make 2-3 post a day, she would also pull close to that amount too. She is easily noticeable cos of her huge following and trending post, newbies generally crowd around such people, thereby increasing her audience. I followed her the very first day I was on Steem, I noticed how popular she was and I followed her even without reading her blog and posts. Am sure lot of newbies are like that too. To state also she puts in enough energy and effort into her writing kudos to her cos she does this knowing if she puts up crap, she would still rack up votes and comments. I kinda like her though but the writer suggesting only great content can get you there is abit misleading. You need that audience. You could imagine thousands of quality post that don't get seen or noticed in the platform.
