Artists can't buy success. I take what I do here seriously. I take myself seriously. I don't just want to make money by placing words on a screen and pressing enter. I have a lot of potential. People have told me that my entire life and only now, once I came here to start up this blog, have I truly embraced this potential.
People pay for votes to get more cents in their wallet. Sometimes they may not be blamed because it hurts to see few votes after long hours of writing. This could be tiring when you don't get rewarded for your efforts. #OWB
So, there's a difference between a blogger and someone writing an essay. In most cases, bloggers don't need to buy votes. Anyone can place words on a screen. People have been doing it for free for many years. Just because someone puts words on a screen, that doesn't make those words valuable. If you're just here to earn money, it's probably not going to happen. Many seasoned veterans here will tell you the same thing.
It does hurt to see 0 votes. Go look at how I started. But I kept on and didn't buy a damn thing. I decided to improve and took the time to get to know people instead of just sitting there staring at my 0.
I like the fact that you said that you decided to improve and took the time to get to know people instead of just sitting there staring at your 0.
My comments on people's posts have made me a better writer. I don't just comment on people's post, but I read and think deeply before writing anything. That's one of the skills have gained on steemit. The ability to comment constructively and intelligently.
I respect your style of writing. Keep it up☺

Thanks. Just know, even now, I'd still like to improve. For some who just buy the votes for the money, they could potentially be stripping away the reasons to improve. Setting themselves up for a comfort zone to hide in. If everyone bought a free hand out(doesn't that sound weird), that handout becomes the new zero.
I can boldly say that you are a source of motivation. Every human should endeavor to improve their skills -writing, reading and listening everyday. Developing oneself increases one's ability to be creative.
Thanks for sharing your ideas and hope you are having a great day.
I am having a good day, actually. You have a good day! It's your turn now.
