Your contribution on this site always comes around to reward you when you least expect it. ;)

This is actually very inspiring!
Steemit is also a very good platform for artists that can create art and get paid!

The whales, dolphins and fellow minnows are very generous, especially to those who do great work. It gets noticed, even though it might not show up right away monetarily. People remember who was respectful, or who helped out a minnow with no real monetary reward for themselves. 

Steemit will only succeed if we continue to truly care about each other and give constructive criticism. Whales votes are very valuable and so if they were to reward people who constantly beg for a vote and whine when they don't get it, that would reflect poorly on not only the whales reputation, but if steemit becomes a place where content is the same as anywhere else, it will no longer maintain it's value. 

We are investing in each other (both time and money). Unless you invested a lot of money, you are starting from a small new poster to becoming a larger fish who should spend time helping newcomers gain knowledge to advance their own unique voice. It's a critical time to make sure people have a positive connotation associated to steemit and decide to stay for not only the money, but the community as well. Congrats @mrgey  on being rewarded for your hard work here. (Guessing your username is not a 50 shades of reference lol) and thanks for being a valuable member of this community/ecosystem)

While I have made over $.80 before, I am still learning what my voice as a writer will be. Keep pouring out what you are passionate about and not what you think will be the next trend and I will see you on the way to whaleship!

Where there you go sir

Wow! This is what it is all about. I got to see steemit in action, I have to admit I was very sceptical when I joined whether it is really possible to make good money on steemit by simply posting content. I was following this post since yesterday @dollarvigilante and I got the surprize of my life this morning when a comment reached over $1000. 

For those that are leaving nasty comments, don't get made, get even! Show us what you have and stand out from the rest. Congratulations to @mrgrey for your success has just started. 

Please have a look at my introduction https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@crazycow/crazycow-joins-steemit for a laugh

I have only made $0.03 thus far but I am driven to post more quality content and make a name for myself.

Well, mrgrey, it looks like you got some of that support you were looking for.  *holds up microphone*  Please mrgrey, tell us how you're feeling right now.

Looks like you just made $1,300 from this two-line comment! How about that?

$1,500 for a comment??!!! Wow!

probably my last post. Shame i feel there isn't enough people like you two and so many people being dicks for the sake of it. I'll make the decision tomorrow though see how i feel. I do enjoy steemit :( [this is probably my last post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@egjoshslim/why-are-people-getting-butt-hurt-over-any-post-that-mention-any-issue-with-steemit/)

Now you made more than 80 cents with this comment! :) Im happy about your visits and upvotes at my blog too. Kind regards. Jonas

@dollarvigilante
Thanks for introducing me to steemit! 
What a great Social Network!

Wow I envy on you @mrgrey getting good reward on a comment. Amazing

Ha, gratz mate :) See you on steemit.chat.

What a fantastic post, I like the majority of people on steem continue to post, vote and curate without much success. It can be a little disheartening, especially when you see what other content there is out there! There are numerous "whales" that are supporting content from other authors which is very admirable and I should imagine incredibly well received. The whole concept of steem is extraordinary, but I do feel there will always be an element of luck involved in making the multi dollar generating posts; "right place-right time"!! 
Well done @dollarvigilante, keep up the great posts; I'm off to post a black &a white photo of a cup of tea with the title "Earl Grey or Darjeeling"???

Coingrats!  No that's not a typo.  I figure I will start using this now on Steemit as we are all after those sweet Steem coins.

holy crap!....apologies if that offends anyone but I just woken up to find this, I cannot express the emotion I am feeling right now and the 110000 thoughts that are going through my mind  and yes I did just pinch myself lol wow everyone thank you so so much, here I was just trying to gain some attention on a post I made that I hope would help everyone and then this! .......best of all this story goes allot deeper than anyone may realise, you have all literally saved a family from living in the dark with no internet from monday as it is about to be cut, I will do a blog post on this for you all today.

Hi everyone I have made a post about this amazing thing that happend to me, [Please visit the page here](https://steemit.com/steemit/@mrgrey/amazing-how-i-made-over-usd1-388-38-commenting-on-a-steemit-post-by-dollar-vigilante)

I'm  new to all this as well, don't even understand how it works yet, but I agree awesome post.

It's becoming very difficult to make any money here.

Same here I think I have made .42 cents but I do think that steemit is a game changer, as the users grow and and system evolves over time the sky is the limit!!!

@mrgrey you and @dollarvigilante are both exactly what Steemit needs at this time. High quality content producers are flocking to Steemit and being rewarded handsomely. This in turn, incentivizes the top content producers in other genres to follow suit. As a critical mass of these authors jump ship over to Steemit something amazing will happen. The average internet user will find themselves more and more often reading their favorite news or special interest stories on Steemit. As more readers flock to Steemit the content producers will have no choice but to follow suit. This closed feedback loop amplifies viewer and author registration until people who are late adopters find themselves on Steeemit daily.
