Don't give up! All the big whales who are making hundreds were struggling as minnows at some point and they could have given up too but didn't.

Best advice I have seen is don't think of this site as a way to make quick and easy money, see it as a community for you to be part of. Get involved in discussions and try and develop friendships with people.

You have to put effort in and it may seem that the effort is not being rewarded, but there are many examples to prove that if you stick at it then the rewards will come.

Stick at it and become a huge whale, then please chuck me a big upvote every now and then :P
