Your posts aren't earning anymore. You spend all night typing and looking at the computer screen. You read and read until you are sure the post is good to go. Then you decide to submit the post. You self upvote and its all $0.07, yet you hope for the best.
Hours pass by, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days and its already 7. All you get is $0.14 reward. It splits up and you can't tell which is which.
Its 2 months already and you feel Steemit is not for you. You are not sure of what to tell to people you invited to Steemit.
It feels like its just an illusion.
Your earnings are reducing and there's no one to explain why this is happening...
You have made up your mind to quit and its done already. You probably stumbled on this post and you want to get some motivation to continue.
Well, I'm happy you did.

Steemit is not a get rich quick scheme
Its a social revolution that rewards its users.
If you think you are not getting rewards for your work, you haven't really understood the system. You need to understand the basics and that will work if you read the posts under the tag #steemit.
You need to own your learning about steemit and connect with people more than rely on them to upvote you.
You also need to build a followership.
I see my followership grow everyday even though I have 8 posts on my blog. These posts are helpful posts that didnt get upvotes but are earning me followership.
You also need to consider investing in Steemit.
This works by buying Steem and using it to increase your Steem power and reputation.
ROI investors are more successful than opportunists who only want to take something out of the system.

All being said and done, I advice you to grab this opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency.
Also, quit if you must. That doesn't make you or me better than we will be.
This is just an African's view of the situation.
Let me know what you think. Bye!
