It is the wrong expectations set by people that invite these people. They say it is like FB and you get likes that will have a dollar value, that its easy as uploading a picture in Instagram of your selfie and you earn.

What they don't say is they need to work, engage and create connections with people.

They see no votes or cents and they get dejected.

They need to be mentored, they need to belong to a great community, they need to learn to engage.

Steem is not easy. It will ential sacrifice, time and effort but it is worth it.
