Well what is rich...? I earned $25,000 in one year having cashed out 6K so far. I think that's pretty good knowing that it was supposed to be a hobby in the beginnings...
It's all about consistency. My first blogs neither found any audience nor made any money. It took me 8 months to start earning considerable amounts of money. The past 3 months have been mind-blowing. Steemit paid for my whole vacation to the US.
So what I wanted to say: keep going! :-)
