Whatsup, Whatsup? Sorry bad pun. I read your post and believe you are sincere about the burden of supporting your network and I do understand my responsibility for learning the ecosystem and earning my own success. The truth is it isn't even about earning for me, it's about getting seen and some receiving positive feedback. I have about 900 posts now and I've started to learn that generating my own original content isn't as important as generating interactions. By making clever insightful comments on the work of others I can more readily build relationships. Instead of waiting to be found, I search out others and make the connection. And if I look at penny's generated as a measure of success, I've been more consistently rewarded by the replies and up-votes to my comments to others. Don't get me wrong content is important and I consistently work at that too, but I guess I'm still in search of my niche. Anyways, thanks for the read.
