@drakos Thanks for sharing your knowledge great master!
I also started to get the notion that this place really is not all that much about money, or at least it looks like you have to be in it for the "long-haul" to make any significant rewards. Also it seams like you either have to be "lucky" and get votes from whales or dolphins at an early stage or just be extremely resilient and just keep on going and consequently post quality post after quality post and not expect anything but a few cents as an initial reward for your hard work, the later will take a lot of time and I am sure if you calculate the hourly rate it would not be a very good salary. So to get to the point I believe you are completely right, if one does not enjoy writing, vlogging, replying/writing comments etc, this place is going to be a waste of time. Thanks for a realistic steemit guide!!! Cheers!
