I've been around for almost 3 weeks now. I've gotten lucky on one post I did for the ketogenic diet and that one got me over $100. Outside of that, I've been getting pennies per post. For me, it's a long term game though and I'm looking at the money I'm earning now in Steem power as being worth 10x in 5 years. It wouldn't shock me if it's 100x in 10 years.

Like I said I got lucky and had a post submitted to the Curie Guild which earned me a lot on one post. After that I looked into the guild and submitted one from someone else that got accepted and that earned me another 10 Steem.

Another tip is to use the chainbb forum to post through and reply. Most of your replies will get an upvote that way which is worth 2-3 cents by the time it pays out. It adds up over the course of a week.
