Hope you make it, I too am trying to make it on Steemit, haven't made any money yet, and I'm unemployed and do need it, but I wasn't making anything before joining Steemit, so at least I now have some hope of making something here, even though I do know my posts suck, but maybe one day I'll manage to write something good. In the mean time at least up vote every post I think is good reading and sometimes comment on it (mostly for practice). Again hope it goes good with you.
