Nothing is easy in life and Steem mirrors life in more than one way.</p>\n<p>The reality is you have to break through and it takes time and patience. I did a post about how this place works and it is a matter of understanding.</p>\n<p>Basically you have to pay your dues before you are accepted. The reality is the early adopters and the bigger accounts have seen thousands of users arrive and just expecting. what happens is they just want to take and not work for the reward.</p>\n<p>it took me 60 days to pay back the 15 SP that i received from Steem when my account was initially opened. I worked hard and spent hours every day writing and commenting for little or no reward. I was fortunately spotted by some users and helped but that took 3 and a half months of commitment.</p>\n<p>You have to work hard to be accepted by the other users. There have been over a million accounts opened and we only have 16 000 users. What does that tell you. If your friend wants to give up because it's hard then let him.</p>\n<p>Nothing is easy and if it was the place would be swarming with other users but it isn't. The easier it is the less value something has. I for one am happy that it is tough and separates the committed users and serious accounts to the ones who are just trying to make a quick buck.</p>\n<p>Some of the Orcas and whales will tell you that their posts would only make a few cents when they started but as time went on they became more established. You need to honestly give your self time and 6 months is about right to start getting established.</p>\n<p>Steemit is not for everyone and patience and hard work is required. being consistent is the key as other accounts are watching what you do. Your actions speak louder than words and I can now spot an account who is serious or not.</p>\n<p>What your friend doesn't understand is it is going to get a lot harder to earn Steem when there are more users on the platform.</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fkr25nv85","appParentAuthor":"alaisguineasis","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
