I really don't want to mine Steem so I'm going to keep at the Steemit but yes I am not having a ton of luck as well. I am not a brainiac and I am not a hot chick that can just say HI I'M AMANDA and get a $20,000 upvoted post. A little frustrating because I enjoy blogging but I don't think I have mad blogging skills either... I will just keep on keepin on. Good luck guys.
