I know what you mean I posted some stuff mostly about cryptocurrency and like highlights in the news with only making pennies like you said but you got to remember those pennies do add up and just keep posting every day. Your followers will grow if they like your content. I start out 2 months ago on steemit. In the last month I really just started using the platform posting daily and yes I get some change but it's all adding up. I know it can be frustrating at times just be positive and keep at it. Thank you for this post I know I'm not the only one that feels that way have a blessed day.
