@eastcoastcrypto Steemit is only good if you can gain massive popularity like if you have 15k to 30k followers and you upload 2-3 articles a day you can make alot of money say you get like 120$ per you can make 200-300$ a day which is like 50k a year . but if you have 20 followers like me you wont make alot of money so i agree steemit is a great platform for self employed people, if they can gain or move from a different platform where they already have a large following. so @jerrybanfield is going to make quite alot of money as he has a large following (Nice article though jerry :) )

@Jackfitton, I understand your dilemma....this is why we started a group for early steemers to work together and help each other build. there are many such groups.

Jack you are right that a sizable following is needed today to make a full time income on Steemit, with the growth of the platform the level of following required should continue to drop as the price of Steem goes up while the part time income potential today is the best chance many people in the world have to earn some extra income out of writing a blog. Steemit certainly is not fixing all the income disparity of the world overnight but it does offer ten times better potential than nearly anything else I have seen in twenty years of working online!

Heard you mention that in one of your videos, and actually you @jerrybanfield are the reason I finally decided to jump into Steemit! I was a bit surprised to learn you had such success on Steemit fairly quick, but assumed that's because you already had a strong network before you arrived here. That, plus coming in with a bunch of Steem power helps too. Not saying you don't deserve every penny you earn, because I can see you give 110% to consistently put out awesome content 😄 Trying to follow in your footsteps here, but will definitely be taking things slower. It's ok though, I'm here like you are for the long term!
