That sounds troublesome!
But are you having fun here?
There's a soft limit on about four articles per day, so posting just four things, maybe one long essay, a poem, some pictures, and whatever random thoughts are on your mind, might be enough to limit your workload, but still give you the chance for some profits.
But you gotta make the decision that's right for you. Maybe steemit isn't your destiny.
Or maybe it is, and you just need to approach it another way. Perhaps you can write applications for steemit users, if you know programming. Or even open up a store someplace, online or reality, and accept steem.
You never know where life takes you, so go with the flow and smile.
RE: Time is money. Is your time on Steemit worth the money?
