Yes. Other people are writing blogs for years without getting paid and it's not an issue for them. They just love doing it. Talking about Steemit, yes, I think sometimes it is might be about who you are and who featured you. Obviously it's easier if you have huge fan base on other social media platforms. But I think all people who are just starting writing on Steemit, include myself needs to forget about money a bit and focus on writing their content and grow community arount them. I'm here for 18 days and I learned that it's not just about writing, it's also about finding similar people and engaging with them not because of money but because you honestly like their content. Btw, I will read your blog, I hope I will like it. :)
