Helping each other helps ourselves.

The quickest way to 'lose' on Steemit is to narrow your view.
Even if none of your posts ever do well, you can still earn it big. Simply adjust your approach. You have tools for investing, for curating and even for creating feedback loops of followers. Use them wisely!

If others keep hitting the goldmines on the blogging side of things, ride on the coattails of their success through curation rewards or compound interest of your investments. We're not all born writers, nor are we all affluent investors. There's a mix and match for everyone, though!
