don´t be frustrated when you just get 4 cent for a post. Just keep making quality posts and have patience. and by the way 4 cents is 4 cents more than you get for posting on facebook&co. If you post 100times on facebook you get nothing but ads special tailered for your consumer profile, here you get 10$. And it can be 50 times more within 10 months if you show up with quality stuff. It is harder now than it was when Steemit startet but hey its still a great place to be.
