No doubt about it, persistence is key to success here on Steemit. I suppose some people may have a huge online following to begin with, but those people don’t grow on trees.
I’ve had a few friends join Steemit, but after the novelty of posting wears off, and they aren’t making a lot of $$$, they get bored and split. It’s too bad. I suppose I’m just too stubborn to go back to posting on Facebook!
