Hi. Sorry for my english(google-translate). I also thought about this issue. I spent a long time exploring the Steemian blogs. On Steemit there are only two honest ways to earn money:

1. Create a very-very interesting blog;
2. Buy on Poloniex or Bittrex or other 25,000 - 40,000 STEEM, transfer them into Steem Power and earn on curation rewards 25-40 SBD per day.

This is my opinion of the earnings on the Steemit.com Other honest ways of earning I could not found.
