Getting back to this platform then and also to the hub, I had to constantly convince users of the need to follow through with the Steem for what it will mean to them at the end of the day, than what they want it to mean to them then- which was the quick SBDs

I love this part. Though, I would still say, if you don't tell people about the earnings, you are wasting your time. I join steemit in February and really became active this month but one thing is sure that I know, people are delighted with free social platforms like facebook, instagram etc and don't want to hear 3rd about steemit unless perhaps they present something better which is the rewards. The only thing I think people should always do is telling people about the every possibility of earning and the nature of crypto currencies.
