Well I certainly figured out what I needed to do to make my time to earnings a lot more valuable. I feel like I have cracked the code, and I'll say this who you know on here and the power they have makes a huge difference. You can totally see the direct correlation in my up-votes and earnings over the past week. I have not been phony, I can't be, it's not in my nature. But I have reached out to some real power players in the steemit world, and they suddenly have my back seeing that I constantly put out quality interesting posts and that I have been an undervalued contributer to the steemit platform. Once I gain some steem power of my own I will surely be looking to help lift up the next crop of minnows! Thanks again for your continued support. -Dan
