But it can happen. I wasn't anybody before I came on Steemit. I didn't have a following that I brought with me. I built up my following and eventually it started paying off.

I won't tell the lie that hard work always pays off. Unfortunately, a lot of it comes down to luck. In order to find success on Steemit you need to get the attention of a whale or two. But I'm almost certain that if a person consistently puts out quality content they will get noticed.
