That’s were a lot of people are mistaking, @beestrong: the rewards are huge!
They just don’t come in $$, but in words of motivation, kindness, support.
Although financially I have only lost money on SteemIt, I have the feeling it has enriched my life in a way money could never do. :0)

And don’t worry about not having the knowledge... SteemIt has a steep learning curve. Just take it one step at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day :0)

During the first two months, I thought about leaving every day, simply because it was all so overwhelming and so...so much. But you learn by doing, or by asking. Plenty of people willing to help. There are still a lot of things that I don’t get, and maybe never will - lol
