RE: Hurdles to 10 dollar Steem: Get-rich-quick cons
I am among those Jerry dragged in here though I beg to differ on the personalities being the same. I came expecting everything that guy compiles into a youtube video and when my pathetic first post clocked $75, I assumed 'damn, he was right'! Then the second post had $0.06 and the third. I started wondering what I was doing wrong and even 'left steemit' for a while. When I came back I recall doing almost 15 posts all below $0.10 and for the first time, I was interested in knowing why. I found the chat and the rest is history.
What I did after... was unfollow him and anyone else who was or still is selling such crap. My minimal growth here has been mostly contributed by interacting with people such as you :)
Those curie hits and the like are nice but on a first post set an unrealistic expectation on the second ;)
Now, how many people would have decided to work out what was going on? not that many it seems so yes, personalities can differ (I am generalising in the post of course) but so many of them are true to form.
Tell me about it xD. I almost fainted, lol.
But honestly, they do... I wish I did what I am doing now earlier on because those who joined around the same time as I and worked their butts off are way higher in terms of ranks and reputations. Their accounts are doing much better than mine...
On the other hand, I am grateful I got myself out of that misguided path.
