But I agree, it is disheartening to make so little in the beginning. I made it thru those first few months by just posting what I loved and not caring if I got any money at all. As the old saying goes, money comes when you do what you love, but it rarely comes when you chase it. I hope your friend doesn't give up and pushes thru the tough time! It'll be worth it on here.

I think that is Key. To really enjoy it. That's the only reason I would keep going here. It's something I love to do when I am NOT working lol. And get paid to do it...well that's hard to beat.

Thank you @dbooster for your in depth reply :)
