RE: Extensive curation stats overview since HF19 (June 20th 2017)
As an advocate of universal basic income, which in the US based on 2017 federal poverty guidelines would need to be $1,000 per month, and as someone who has crowdfunded their own basic income of $1000/mo, I find this statistic especially fascinating and thank you for sharing it.
You cannot expect to earn much money on SteemIt (currently only 0.9% of authors makes more than $1000 per month)
Working your ass of for a year to make $1000+ a month isn't really a basic income ;)
It is basic income, you wouldn't have to do work at all, which is why it should just be called "universal basic handout".
I'm talking about making 1K/month on SteemIt, that's a lot of work!
Oh... I agree.
I guess, if you have the resources, you can always jump start your STEEM rewards by buying enough STEEM so that you can earn more per post. Do 5 posts every day and automatically upvote yourself at the 28 minute mark. Do a giveaway to have a bunch of people follow you. Reinvest until you make $1000 per post.
Then just do a vblog of you sitting on the couch 5 times a week bringing in the STEEM.
Yeah some people are really milking it with 5 vlogs a day :p
