Exactly. I think people come here thinking they'll make $100+ per post overnight and it just doesn't work like that. The only ones who can do that are those who already have large followings on other platforms. If that's not you, then it will take months to build your account up to that level. People should see it first as a platform to share content like any other, making money should be secondary...unless you have really good content. I've been fortunate enough to make good money and I'm a new Minnow. This is only my 2nd week and I've done well for myself.
I think it also depends on the niche you enter into...and you SHOULD have a niche that has some sort of community already built in. Too many people come posting about random stuff that's not targeted towards a specific group. Then I think a lot of people aren't active in the chat rooms and don't actually build relationships with people.
