RE: 29,000 Likes on Facebook. Financial Reward? $0.
I wrote this post which may help: Last Week I Made $1,500 Worth of Cryptocurrency Blogging on Steemit.
Unfortunately, there is no secret. Building a following and relationships on a new social media platform is not easy. It takes time, consistency, patience, good expectations, and quality interactions. I remember feeling the same way almost 12 months ago, watching others make it to the trending page and hoping some day I might join them. I remember taking a screenshot the first time I was even close on the trending page.
If you want, go through some of my older posts (takes a while to scroll back that far), and you may appreciate how I processed through those same feelings, realizing how important community is over rewards.
Good luck and let me know if I can help with anything or you have any questions.
This is similar to how I look at it and well said. It shouldn't be about big $ posts or how much your wallet is worth. It's mire about the people here and having fun. The wallet will do it's thing over time but in the short run making some new friends and learning some new things here and there is really all that should matter. I've said it before, " the wallet for me is just a bonus............. enjoyed Luke as always.
Thank you very much for your (meaningful) reply. I will definitely check out your posts. And I'll be taking notes! haha
Have a great day!!
