Work your butt off!
Sometimes there is no other way to get things done. Quality content will often get overlooked until a user builds themselves up in the steemit community. Often, this will take a lot of hard work, for a very long time. Eventually (and hopefully) there may be a return on that investment.
VIDEO 12 – WORK YOUR BUTT OFF
In this video I mention a post I made about nine months ago. I think that it is a high quality post full of original and rare content. The total payout was 54 cents. Of that 54 cents, my cut as the author was 43 cents. The content was not lacking.

I use this post as an example of something that happens to a lot of us. While the 43 cents may not be impressive, it is way more than other sites are offering me. Also, it is not an individual post that I am concerned about, it is a username and blog history. Eventually, I got a return on that investment, but only because I continued. Do not be discouraged, just work your butt off.
This is a photo of my bleeding hand covered in grass clippings as I worked my butt off yesterday. I'll be doing the same all day today! Steem on!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
This is why I keep posting...encouraging words from you is everything!
Awesome Advice Papi!

@papa-pepper Thanks for making these video's. After checking i decided to begin at the first video. Think it is good to help the community the way you do, by telling people like me how to build a better steem. Steem on!

The work makes the payoff all the sweeter, too! Expecting something for nothing is a pretty terrible approach to getting any enjoyment out of if/when success knocks

I also don't think about the payouts. I think of it at a general sense that Steemit is a social media platform that is not managed by huge corporations whose primary aims are money. I think more about our community 'cos that's what being valued the most here. Not the money. Not Steemit Inc.,, but the community.
I'm looking forward to learning more from you, papa-pepper. :)

Very valid perspective. There is a lot more here than money, the money is just a bonus.

I know the feeling of putting together a really good post and not getting a good payout. It is extremely frustrating. You kept going and didn't give up. Eventually our followings will keep building and all the work we put in will come back to us. It looks like your posts have been really doing solid!
