If you can get yourself to 500 sp - it makes a big difference here. A lot of new people are here and may be successful in other places. But steemit is different and each minnow has to grow over time.

For example - buying a huge amount of sp and plunging in when you are not familiar with the place is a bad move. Stay kind of small to get used to the tricks here. But all of the tiny minnows getting to 500-5000 or so would make a good difference for all.

Wishing everyone the best of luck and don't give up.
