RE: First they ignore you....then they laugh at you...
ME too! Whenever I show Steve it to someone new I show off a bunch of my smaller posts and then I'll be all end up looking at a few expensive posts of my own as I scroll down my own blog feet and that will usually impress them especially when they see my post because they're in the $.50 to $20 range usually but I do have some that have been over $50 and those really impressed People especially my pictures of Weed and weed plants no one thought that a picture of a marijuana plant could ever make that much money at the medical dispensary that I get my legal weed from but everyone at the dispensary was amazed that they could get that much money hundreds of dollars now on the cannabis Steve it category but it's true there's pictures on the candidates Steemit it category every day they get up to $100
But yet you got to be careful and don't show beginners to the main trending page because you'll end up selling them all these posts and get over $1000 sometimes 2000 now which is just crazy and people think that they could never get that much for the posts and they're bright they would need to buy a lot of steam power and get a lot of followers before they would start making $1000 posts but it is possible I have seen people get a lot of followers steam power make no posts and then make the first post after they've already gotten like 1000 followers it's very small smart and @thejohalfiles and @gigafart are planning to do this I'm pretty sure
