Dear I would say you should just try your best to keep on, don't quite. Steemit is good but remember a saying that goes "do not put all your eggs in a basket."
You have to keep on pushing, yeah it might seems hard, but you have to. Also you should try your best in finding another work while doing this one. Who knows the next one might be better.

And I remember a saying that @gee1 said in her post sometime ago, "make money both of us and offline."
