As always great advice. I tried to start my own blog and then I tried to create a dogecoin faucet in order to make some money on my blog. I hit a brick wall and felt like the time I was putting in was not equal to the money that was coming out and I stopped.
I agree with you 100% that people don't know how lucky they are to be on steemit and making money for their blog. I think one important aspect that you also skipped out on is that steemit has no minimum payout like other sites do. This is also a great advantage of steemit.
