A dollar a day - that is what started with on steemit. I set that as my goal - that I will at least try to earn $1 every day in steemit.
Obviously that took more than one hour each day but within a few days I noticed that it became easier and easier to approach the $1 target. I know a lot of encouraging advice tends to sound a little boring but perhaps patience and persistence are the the very underrated keys that we need to get something done.
