RE: Re: If STEEMIT is to survive and thrive, it needs to get FAIRER
I got here a year ago, and lemmie tell ya, it doesnt make a damn bit of difference. Ya know what does? Putting in the WORK. Some people get lucky, or have followings from other sources like youtube or instagram. Some people buy steem power. The only way to get there if you dont have these things is to dig your nails in and claw your way up.
When steem went down to 13 cents, I sold. I sold a LOT. I'm kicking myself in the face for selling at that point, while a couple of my friends kept posting. Every day, they made 1-5 posts. They earned a dollar or two on each and plugged on, occasionally making 20 bucks. Ya know what happened when steem hit 2.50? They became instant dolphins. Not because they had some secret sauce, but because they kept at it.
The market is a little flooded right now. Not the steem marked (but that too) but the CONTENT market. It can be hard to get noticed, even if you're in support groups, bomb the chats, hit discord, etc.
The thing is, you have to say FUCK THE MONEY. I dont care if you upvote this post, instead, I only care that you read it. I go into some details about WHY thinking like this is so important:
What you say makes so much sense man... Hard work has to the the foundation, then the smarts on top of that may make a difference. Hey I am going to visit your link and I will leave something there for you you might like.
Can you do me a solid and resteem this for me? I really want to reach more people. And I hope I have earned a follow and an upvote. See you there.
You already had the follow and upvote, and since you asked nicely I'll throw a resteem in there lol. I try not to resteem TOO much, but this is a good topic with a lot of conversation in the comments that I feel deserves a look for anyone new or old looking for a kick in the pants to keep moving!
Thanks :) I left something for you in the link you sent me
