Thank you for your comment @gatorlynne.

ake it from someone who blogged on wordpress daily for 6 years with a large following, there is no pay there. I have already earned more here in a week then I earned the entire time on wordpress.

This is a statement and a half....it is also STEEM's greatest marketing tactic....I am sure you tell anyone who will listen how you made more in a week on here than you did in 6 years.

In marketing, that is what is called "an attention getter".

Anyone who is remotely interested in blogging or sharing their ideas who hears that from you will have to take notice. Can that same thing happen a few hundred times a month around the world? I think so.

That is why I say success is guaranteed on here even if nothing else is done to the platform or blockchain.
