Don't let the lack of $$$ upvotes get you down. Stick with it. It is like a sculpture, just chip away at it slowly, and eventually your masterpiece will reveal itself.

Also, maybe don't focus too much on the $$ - any $$ is just a bonus, don't forget that maybe the best thing is just getting your word out there, the ability to have a voice and have your ideas heard - whatever that idea may be, is a pretty powerful thing IMO.

I wish you luck.

p.s I like your article - glow in the dark cars - brilliant! TIL.

Upvoted.
