Been on here for about a month as a content producer and I couldn't agree with you more. Points 4, 6 and 7 especially. People who jump into Steemit with the goal of making money right off the bat will never make it, they will be broken. But, those who come to build with others, those are the ones that succeed. It will take time, no doubt.

The last 30 days have been some of the most interesting I've ever experienced in many ways. I've found a community that cares, put out more content on a regular basis than I ever have before, and been inspired to work even harder to grow. Where else can you go and do that?

This was a great article, and I look forward to reading the next part. Thanks for posting and be well! :)
