I wasn't planning on posting anything after my last post today but I was talking to one of my friends about Steemit this afternoon. And during our conversation he said something that made me think about Steemit and the earnings.
During the conversation, one of my friends asked me how it was going with Steemit (of course he meant how much Steem I had earned). I told him I was doing quite well and had about a 1000 dollars in my wallet (which in my opinion is pretty decent). I also told him that lately a lot of Youtubers were coming to Steemit. The reason being the sometimes toxic community on Youtube. My friend responded that with those earnings (referring to the fact that I made a 1000 dollar in two weeks) that it was not suprising that the Youtubers were jumping ship. I went on defending my point of view that it was because of the community and not the earnings.
However, it made me wonder. How much money does a blogger or youtuber normally make and was I being naive about the allure of the earnings?
I found these links about earnings for bloggers and Youtubers: earnings for bloggers and earnings youtubers.
The Questions
So am I being naive, is it not about the Community but all about the cold hard cash?
Would it be a bad thing if the earnings were the only thing drawing people to Steemit?
Are any of you planning to ditch your day job and go full Steemit if you can earn enough on a monthly basis?
Let me know in the comment section.
