Ther are Wutnesses who get paid to Witness transactions but its different u can apply to be a witness but u need to have people vote for u and u have to pay for server space etc but then peopel canget like 300 steem a day etc or depends, but yeah dont worry u cant find some shrotcut to get free steem by just mining it like that at least not in any eas way your thinking of
