Expectation is dangerous, I think many people came in hoping to make it big almost immediately(include me at first). That is the picture people that introduced them painted for them leaving out the hardwork part, the dedication, building followings and improving themselves part. I remembered my first day after approval, I got down to writing my first post without trying to comment on other people's post and gaining some followers. I have seen many account become dormant or quitting because they were not told the full story. I wrote this on one of my posts - anytime people hear internet business, they immediately think it is get rich overnight thing. You can be rich fast with Steemit but you must be ready to pay your dues and work hard. I will rather put the hardwork here though because reward can be enormous.
