RE: Steemit Etiquette - Stop Your Begging
Well one thing that's not mentioned in the usual advertising tag line "get paid to post!" is that there's a slow, excruciating warmup time before you can even make $1 a week. You won't get jack for at least 6 months unless you're an exceptional content creator (who could already be making more on other platforms).
If people were aware of that right off the bat, they'd set their expectations accordingly.
But of course, advertising steemit as "easy" and "just be yourself and get paid lol" lures more in so so be it =)
Yeah that's one issue. To get rich quick you have to not just create content but create content that's revealing about yourself. At the same time, you must be sympathetic and appeal to the majority of active community participants. For some, particularly those trying to escape poverty, Steemit is a chance. It's a chance the same as letting it all ride on red is a chance but it's a chance.
