I'll be celebrating 60 days on Steemit in two more days and I've pretty much got the same experience. It took a lot of work, commenting, and socializing to get to where I am, but at the end of the day, I know that consistency has always been king. I didn't come in with a huge following and certainly only one of my friends signed on after I shared my excitement. They haven't been active since. But hey, it's not for everyone. Thanks for sharing your experience and giving new people a real view of the Steem experience.

I admit that the articles I've researched and taken hours to write don't do as well as some of my photographs and art, but I will continue to put out the content that I love because I don't want to be pigeon-holed into one aspect of my creativity. It's frustrating sometimes, but who am I to complain?
