Potential Windfall In Disguise
Steemit has seen ridiculous amounts of organic growth since it came out. This is a good sign at least for now and I hope that's the case for the future as well. What you need to focus on in the meantime is to put out content or curate other's work. Keep showing up and bringing the passion for what it is you love creating or doing. It could be music, writing, videos, you name it.
Just know this. The road is hard. It is lonely at times although you will meet amazing people here. It is very tough. This is not to scare you but it is to make you aware of the work that goes into those higher paying posts you see. But, this is not just about the money but something much bigger.
Whatever you do, DON'T PANIC! There's worlds of potential in both Steemit and the underlying currency which is Steem. Anything you collect now from your work could be worth a heck of alot more down the road. Not only that but, what we are building here as a Steemit community far exceeds any amount of tangible rewards. The rocket has already launched and seems to be headed to new horizons. You would fare well by holding on and being patient. That's the silver lining. Much love and peace to everybody. 
stumbled accross your post. It was jsut the encouragemetn I needed today. Ive been doing the steemit thing for about a month and although I have grown SO MUCH, i find myself always comparing to others on steemit who started around that same time as me and are doing "better." But you are right. Its abotu being around people who share your interest and inspire you and interact with you. you gained one new subscriber, looking forward to more content from you!

To be honest I dont bother about whether the steem price is 1 or 4 or 5 or 6 usd and it really does not matter to me. I just have fun here socializing with you and other fellow steemians. Although I have put some money here, but I am not really into thinking about any kind of profit.
Its just like Facebook for me but here I get paid for my activity.

It is fun for sure. The rewards are just icing on the cake. Did you notice facebook is trying to generate more engagement? And also they are thing of implementing crypto. Facebook knows about Steemit at this point. I'm pretty sure because every time I make a post on facebook about Steemit no one sees it. That means we are doing something right here.

@humanearl,
In very first date of my STEEMIT journey I didn't earn any cent and I had no idea what should I do! Most of friends who joined with me left the game and I decided to do my best! As a result I am commenting today here and having a wonderful life as well!
Cheers~

Kudos to you man. Many people start leaving once they are not making anything. But the thing to remember is that Steemit is much more than just the money.

Whedn I started in steemit my target was to earn 100 usd per month but I was unable to earn those and hardly earning 33 usd per month, becuase at that time steem price was low and SBD too was 1 usd.
But now I am very much happy because I am being able to earn 100 usd per month and for me 100 usd per month is also a great amount.
Thank you...steem on and stay blissful....

Thank you and Have a great day.

any amount of crypto you are being paid right now has a good chance to go somewhere and be very valuable down the road or maybe even in the near future.
exactly right.
I've been a steemer for over 17moon. For about 12 of them I wasn't receiving much in the way of $Rewards. However I WAS receiving 'vests'...(the basic unit of Steem)...a few here..a few there.
Well guess what?
Those vests that I earned when the price of steem was WAY below $1....are now worth a LOT more.
And by a lot I mean HUNDREDS of times more...
there's a lesson there.

Yes i am still new to this platform and i have so many questions.
Do I have to include 5 tags?
How are posts noticed on steemit?

You don't have to include 5 tags but it will help your post become more visible.
Posts are noticed on steemit by a number of factors. Popularity of the author, whether or not the post was promoted, the amount of upvotes and potential rewards the post has just to name a few.
Pictures are good to use because they give visuals to what you are trying to say.

Thank you for sharing this @humanearl, it's great that you share these types of posts for beginners, as I know that many of them often lose motivation due to low post rewards.
I am currently running a project called the Steemit Success initiative, which aims to grow Steemit as a platform, as well as develop its beginners so that they can grow on Steemit too. I would really appreciate your support on it!
Thanks again for sharing this!

I hope we all keep that in mind. Its been pretty rough for minnows here and really difficult building your reputation from scratch except you take in option of investing in steem which i think is an awesome idea. The fact remains, steemit is still at its early stage its even still in beta version, so every fraction of steem we put together now from our low paying post will be worth much more in future.

@humanreal, Firstly thanks you for encouragement for my steemit journey. Exactly I thought blog post creating very hard and no longer rewards earn from them. First time I made blog of my travel journey in ma country. But only received cents worth. I had really frustrating those days. But after followed you I thought make post best way for increase our steem power and reputation. Now giving maximum vote power of some good whales to me like as you.
Steemit growth very well and more newbies join to this platform daily wise. It's good sign for us and future being very well. When I came to steemit first month period too harder to earned. But today also little tough to get rewards in this platform coz huge users in here. Make blogging better way now I think.
Thanks for inspiration.
Stay blessed!

Good advice @humanearl. Sometimes I want to just post a data chart of my posts over this past five months, so people will see you may need to post consistently for months before you even see more than $1 on a regular basis.
With steem higher than it was last summer, times are actually quite good for us, especially newcomers.

We as the users need to make this a solid product that will bring others in. It is up to us to block out and downvote spam and abuse, and upvote good content that deserves it.
We all own Steemit and need to treat it like our own homes.

Hi @humanearl
Steemit is a young and developing family. The main principle of this family is to support each other. Without support, your posts will not collect cents. Therefore, it is important to be socially active here. You support - support you. This is what the principle of reciprocity says.
It is important to find your own way and follow it. Do what you can do - tell me what you know. Over time, you will have regular readers and you will have constant support. The main thing is not to give up. Everyone started here alone - but everyone got friends.
Steemit is a growing family, so work and enjoy the process :)

To be positive is a trait necessary to get success in every walk of life. As you have already said steemit is not just about money it has become more than that. I don't know a single person who is not getting something by putting genuine efforts. Everyone who has put up some genuine efforts is growing here on this beautiful platform.
Everything happens for a reason and at the right time and at the right place we get what we are destined to get. You have wonderfully advised to be patient and consistent in efforts. One day your efforts will be recognized sooner or later.
I appreciate your kind words of motivation and sane advice.

This is going to be tough to be able to predict the outcome of the market. But one thing am kinda of sure is that they wont put a ban on cryptocurrency. There's going to be lots of attempts at centralized regulations but the specific regulatory guidelines is what I can't say...
