Welcome to Steemit! Sure you can make money if you do this full time and build a following and are one of the most popular people on this platform, but generally speaking, no. You can make a few cents or dollars here, but it definitely is not correlated to the amount of work you put in. You have to blog and post stuff for yourself and for your enjoyment. It may go completely ignored sometimes. Post for yourself, wish you the best. Followed!
