@jameswoods I don't think it's a waiting game. I believe you must do some homework. I believe you must also be relevant and on time. See @edreno for a perfect example of a grand slam posting while his others have been duds, or singles, maybe a double(to use baseball analogy). But also see his wallet, he is investing in Steem Power, while also upvoting others as wells as his own stuff (both pay when done right). And the More Steem Power, the more the payouts, the more the return rate for S.P. !!
