You made a post. Worked hard on that. For yourself the content is really good.
The post has a good image, good format and a really good content.
After a couple minutes that you'd post you can see that It has one vote. Just your vote. Of course, if you did that!
More 30 minutes and... nothing.
So let's wait for a couple hours and after... nothing.
One that way after one day. Woow! more 1 vote. Now you have 2 votes and $0.000.
Now It's really will work.
Two days, tree days... So no more hope.
Now seven days and you see that your post have no earn. nor the $ 0.001 you saw on that.
Ok. Let's go forward. One deep breather and let's do more one...
And you see in your wallet that you have something like that... (+7.792 STEEM).
So, It means that you must to pay this value to the platform. This that you see is not your.
Someone or better

If no one vote on your post, more time you'll have that spent to pay that.
Of course, if you'd a luck that someone like that you posted.
And... if that someone have STEEM POWER (SP on his/her wallet).
And... And only if that someone vote. And vote using 100% of that SP!
Imagine that It happened and you will receive around of 2.000 SBD after 7 days that you had posted.
