Absolutely true! You make a following as you go and it will grow your "brand" or whatever you would like to call it.

Besides, your "11 centes" today is just what your reward in Steem/SBD is worth now, if you don't cash it out it will grow by time and give you quite some more in return. It will also give you some more weight on the network.

Great post @intelliguy and very well given points to new people starting out on this wonderful platform.
