I have been on Steemit for just over 2 months. I was very excited to see that I had earned several dollars, just for introducing myself, and posting some pictures and videos, that I like on the web. In the first month I was inviting a lot of people to Steemit, and they joined! I invited people from Youtube, Facebook and other social networks, even forums that I am a member of, that are about earning money online.
I don't know why, or what it is, but after the fork happened, my earning turned from several dollars to several cents or even 0. I have no idea if I did or didn't do something, but I don't feel that I deserve this, as I have invited a lot of people to Steemit. I definitely feel that I don't deserve this, as I have worked so hard to improve my posting. Also I care about all of the people that comment and I have even given away money to them, to help them improve also.
I can't be a beautiful girl posting my pictures in bikini. ☺lol. I can't be a whale that joined the webiste from the beginning, I can't buy a lot of steem power to have better upvotes, I can't give more money that I don't earn from the website, I can't be a programmer that is dumping his posts, I can't travel around the world to show you picitures and video, I can't talk and explain technical things that are happening with crypto world.
It is everything I can do, not to give up on Steemit, and not to give up on my followers, and to keep fighting for the success that I deserve from Steemit, or indeed any place where I work online. It's not an easy thing to do, but I will do it, even if it could take me several years to succeed. But it is unfair to see what some peoples earnings are, after just one hour, and yet you might not earn that after years of work.
