I have made more than that but I ve sent my sbd to bittrex.
In my first three months I have spent over 10 hours daily on Steemit making like more than 300 comments a day on other posts. That's how you attract people on your posts.
Be consistent and engage with others. It's not so easy. In 10 months, only 1 day I didn't post.
I would like to take a 7 days break but steemit is in my blood
