These are the new early days, and just like when I began, there is likely much discouragement and quitting when only pennies show up on a post. I felt all of that discouragement, but didn't quit. That's the actual secret to why I'm still here posting. Financially, it was the curation guilds like Curie that showed me that I could succeed here, hopefully those guilds are still around helping newer members out as they did me.
