It seems we all are trying to hit the homerun. Yes it would be great to get $100 every post or $5 for each comment. There might be a few who get that but it is not realistic for most of us.
That said, it does not mean wealth cannot be created. Too many get frustrated at their payouts when they do not get the big money. The thing about Steem is there are lots of ways to turn the tap on and get money flowing.
High frequency traders make next to nothing on each trade. They compensate for it by doing millions of trades a day.
We can do something similar on Steem. While the number will not be that high, we can use a variety of tactics to increase our return on our holdings, thus growing out accounts.
There is big money when the pennies start stacking up. Time is an ally in this endeavor. Just keep growing the accounts, especially in the bear market. When the bull does appear, most everything tends to get lifted.
