Minnows & Newbies: Don't Panic About Low Post Rewards

Potential Windfall In Disguise

You've been creating content for Steemit, Dtube or some other Steem based app and you are making a few cents here and a couple of dollars there. You've put in tons of time to make a good post or maybe not and you feel somewhat down about it. Look, I understand. It can get frustrating after a while. But here is the silver lining in all this for those of you who are new to Steemit or consider yourself minnows. Steemit and Steem are babies. They were born not too long ago which means we are still in the early stages of this social experiment. Which then means that any amount of crypto you are being paid right now has a good chance to go somewhere and be very valuable down the road or maybe even in the near future.

Steemit has seen ridiculous amounts of organic growth since it came out. This is a good sign at least for now and I hope that's the case for the future as well. What you need to focus on in the meantime is to put out content or curate other's work. Keep showing up and bringing the passion for what it is you love creating or doing. It could be music, writing, videos, you name it.

Just know this. The road is hard. It is lonely at times although you will meet amazing people here. It is very tough. This is not to scare you but it is to make you aware of the work that goes into those higher paying posts you see. But, this is not just about the money but something much bigger.

Whatever you do, DON'T PANIC! There's worlds of potential in both Steemit and the underlying currency which is Steem. Anything you collect now from your work could be worth a heck of alot more down the road. Not only that but, what we are building here as a Steemit community far exceeds any amount of tangible rewards. The rocket has already launched and seems to be headed to new horizons. You would fare well by holding on and being patient. That's the silver lining. Much love and peace to everybody.
