This post is to encourage minnows out there that are making posts that don't get them much return. I've been here about a month and a half so I'm fairly new.
Some of my posts don't get a log of upvotes or money, but I keep posting and posting. As you can see in the screenshot I had one post that made over 12 dollars. When I first posted it made maybe 50 cents, but the next day I checked and someone upvoted it and brought it up to over 12 dollars.
So the main thing that I'm trying to say is keep Steeming on and be positive. The more you post, the better chance you have for higher earnings. If you get discouraged and stop, then it will be very hard to succeed.
