A wonderful piece. The Steemit platform is a place where one must be ready to undergo the process of growth which comes on the framework of moving slowly but steadily. I think another dimension of the reason for which some people easily get discouraged with steemit especially people from Nigeria, is because they enter the community with a ponzi mindset, having participated in the latter not quite long ago (the quick cash syndrome). My take is that every participant should concentrate his energy on sharpening his skill in writing original and quality posts. The bulk of the money to be made in the steemit community comes from other members via their upvotes and it is good posts that attract handsome votes. This is also notwithstanding the need for one to upvote, comment and resteem other people's posts.
