Very timely, this one... I've been on steemit for just about a month now. at first, I thought it would be easy to come in here, post articles and get paid. I just recently found out steemit doesn't work that way. And I'm glad though.. Because this would make it really hard for greedy folks out there to come in and deteriorate the integrity of the system. The whole thing seem to be well planned.
So I made a decision. I shifted my mindset to contributing to the growth of the community rather that what I stand to gain. And though the rewards aren't here yet, im so sure they'll come naturally at their own time, and it would feel even more rewarding!

Great post @rok-sivante
