I guess we will never know how Steemit works exactly... i had in the past blogs that i have worked for hours and only get few cents. I notice from other posts that are some particular times durring the day when its the best to post and so on.
I think that the key after reading your blog is consistancy and like i mention in the past enjoying and having fun!
So what if sometimes we get only few cents... as long as we have fun its all that matters.
As usual another great blog from you!
Keep up the good work and always Steem On!😉
