The promise of eanings and rewards of Steemit seems to get misinterpreted by some. Nothing comes easy in this planet except maybe the air we breathe, but even that may not be so easy to find in some places..

You have to give in order to receive. And it's not only that, you have to give quality merchandise to demand higher price. Then there's the competition. Is your product better than anyone else? Does your product offer something more than just the product itself. It's not different here in Steemit. You've got to find your niche market, the right product to offer to the right people. Then there's the policies that governs the community. So many things to factor in, just like in life.
