Thank you, uncle Luzcypher, for telling it like it is. This should be required reading for newbies. As a Minnow with a digital marketing background, I know that the real success will be in the quality of my followers (not my wallet). Since I started a little over a week ago, I've had more fun getting to know people and learning ALL sorts of things - the little bits of SteemPower or SteemDollars earned is just icing on cake.
