Why should people give Steem away? There are some generous people doing do via various competitions. I got a fair bit that way. I was doing the sports betting a while back, but they were sharing out what they made on the posts. I started from nothing here and have done well. It's about talking to people and building relationships. If you have good posts then you will make something. I know a few people make a lot more than others, but that's just the way it goes and I don't let it worry me.

For now we are still the early adopters. When millions join it will be harder to get many Steem, so earn what you can now.

Good luck
