I understand your concern. If you were famous, you'd attract a lot of attention too. People who are famous are just that, they automatically attract their fans. They didn't get those fans for no reason. They worked for them basically so that's their reward for the work they did. There's nothing wrong with that if you ask me. Having said that i understand how our posts won't get as much attention initially as them, but it doesn't mean Steemit won't serve you well if you consistently provide unique and original content that gives value to the community.
I'm not a whale or anything close but i can say I'm a living testimony of the evidence of the rewards at least however 'little'(I'm grateful, happy and i value them so therefore they're not little.) Keep at it and you'll be fine. Don't give up. See Steemit for what it is, engage and give value to the community and the interactions alone will make you happy. If you get a reward from it, great, if not, still great :)
Is Steemit as good as everyone says or is it... / 7-25-2016 / @kakradetome / https://steemit.com/steemit/@kakradetome/don-t-be-discouraged-when-your-post-doesn-t-receive-traction-enjoy-steemit-for-what-it-is-and-be-grateful-for-whatever-you-get / Don't be discouraged
Im trying not to be just think steemit could help so many people who need it but there posts arent getting the attention they deserve.
It will with time. Just keep at it and build the connections and followers. Eventually you'll be fine. Remember your first day at school and how you didn't have a lot of friends and attention compared to the last of school of how many friends and attention you had :) You'll be fine. Keep at it providing unique consistent and original quality and you'll be fine :)
erm I hated my first day at school and hated my last i was bullied the whole time by my so called friends lol
Sorry to here that Karen. You're a very strong person and I'm 100% positive the experience you'll have on Steemit will overshadow any bad you ever had. In the beginning it can be hard but keep at it and don't worry ok.
