RE: Dividends and ROI: Why I Would Not Want To Sell My Principal Steem
I power down weekly and live a comfortable life of poverty in SE Asia. I have been doing this since Dec 2017. I'm here full time with two blogs and helping on a third.
Even though I am powering down, my sp grows by my incessant blogging, contest entries, and commenting. I would love a price rise so I could have breathing room in my budget, but at this point I am not complaining.
I feel like I am in the vanguard of people who can actually use steem instead of looking at it as an investment. I am not alone in pulling funds out while continuing to work here.
I also lease delegated sp as part of my strategy, and I normally pay around 14% for that privilege through @minnowbooster. Most of my leases start at 24 weeks and extend from there if the person takes me up on it.
Hi @fitinfun,
My brother is living in Thailand at the moment and he is struggeling because he is not allowed to work with his visa. Do you have a kind of tutorial how you manage to make your income with steemit?
Best regards,
Achim
It is not easy by any means! I have this old post with many tips I use. Do not vote on it, but he can work through and try all the ideas.

Since I wrote this I have some more things working, but I need to write another post soon.
Basically:
If your brother needs help or encouragement, he can ask me a question on any post or by tagging me. I will do the best I can to help him.
Thank you very much for this extensive reply. I will forward him the information. It might be a good solution for him to generate some income over time.
Best regards,
Achim
Yes, there is no quick fix. This is a marathon and you have to show up each day to make it work :)
