Instead of adding value.

Now here on Steemit, everyone starts the same.... at the bottom... those that have worked the most were early and consistent in posting, worked to help others grow here... well they rose in the income, standings and support. Those who bought in with substantial funds workhard elsewhere first and then shifted that work reward to their accounts and grew.

So no one here has gotten a free ride and has not begged for it as some seem to be doing of late.

Look at those folks in the 70's (reputation), they have gotten there with good consistent information, assistance, clarifications, intellect or talent... they did not ask for upvotes to build themselves, they just kept adding more and more value to the platform.

So do not think it unfair, do not think you deserve without first adding value or at least trying to.

Work your but off as others before have... do not just comment "nice post, please upvote and follow me". Instead give us all a reason to follow your blog, applaud your efforts with upvotes and prove your value to others as they follow you.

Remember you (we) are all still in the pioneer phase of this journey.
