RE: The Future of Steemit
It doesn't take a dime to make it here and i know dozens of people who came here with not only nothing but from pure abject poverty conditions and they didnt cry - they worked it and boom, they are good a couple months in - No Sir, not money, tho that does work too, but it takes work, plain and simple, and most people you will see here with low reps and big dreams wont do it. Just like they never got rich on ebay while others did or amazon while others did, or on external blogs, while others did. Some work, some don't. I have a full time job, but still spend around 20 hours a day on steem related tasks. and i am incredibly successful without ever really investing much at all (maybe like $200 months and months ago once?)
yep, its WORK, and it gets so wearisome hearing people complain when you look at their blogs and they are in no communities, post mostly crap, and have not made any effort to create followers by being a good community citizen. It's a tad maddening, when the work isnt actually that hard, but people just wont do it.
Yeah, I think the OP on this comment thread was just kidding. Still, you have good advice. Since this is a social network, people without a large stake to start with, have to work extra hard to get involved.
I helped build multiple communities here over the last 6 months, one of them the largest single community on steem (no longer with them so i shall not name them) and I saw these complaints over and over from people who just cannot grasp that this is a J-O-B JOB, not a game or facebook or a free money magic machine. It takes a LOT of work, I know, because i came with nothing, Im a top 80 witness now, a solid community contributor and founder, ive built projects and given them to the community to call their own and more, all while owning a partnership in a major non-crypto software company that keeps me plenty busy on its own. Welcome to life, where there is no free lunch. You gotta earn it~ :)
As down to earth as it gets...but...we still love you :-)
Ha, nobody is more down to earth than me, and when you spend all your time down on the ground like that, you sure dont want any BS laying around near by :)
Lets say for fun you make $5 hr. 20 hrs x $5 = 200$ a day you are investing. get real.
Every human on earth has an equal allotment of day.
No money was required to do it.
Get real, no excuse you can make I haven't heard a thousand times, onboarding new members every day.
Sleeping 4 hours a day must make you really tired and cranky. There are only 24 hr a day on the planet earth. you spend 20 a day on steemit. Bad work life balance if you ask me. " I have a full time job, but still spend around 20 hours a day on steem related tasks."
