@stellabelle, I quote Mahatma Gandhiji here " First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight with you, then you win"

That sums up everything.

But having said that, steemit is no walk in the park. There is no easy money here. Every $$, is extremely hard earned, especially for the minnows who have no SP, no followers, No idea about blogging, but only an eye full of dreams and hopes. I know, coz I am one of them. Writing every post exhausts me, sometimes drive me nuts and I am here only a fortnight, but then this amazing platform also excites me. After a post that fails to generate interest, I just put down my head and say to myself "tomorrow is another day, another opportunity" and get back to writing.

I know one thing for sure now. Never Quit 😊
