RE: I Learned Much of What I Know about Steemit.... from eBay!

in #blog7 years ago

How About YOU? Are you a compulsive "post watcher?"

I think it can all depend on the relevance of whether you eat that day or not...?

Watching them doesn't change lot, but the tension in your life can change, depending..

I do it more than I think is good to I think - but less and less as I grow into steemit.

(but the relevance of earning does come into it - if $5 in Africa is the same as $30 in the USA, relatively speaking)

Sort:  

eBay was really a good training ground for me in letting go of specific expectations. And I appreciate the part where we are "dependent" on something, for food and daily life.

But we're peddling something — on Steemit, our thoughts; on eBay, products — to the broader public. And we have no control over that.

I have ZERO idea what the next post I put out might earn... and attach no expectations to that post. But I am almost 100% certain that of my next 100 posts, some will be rewarded $2.00 and some will be rewarded $50.00+ so I put my faith in the long term average, rather than any one specific thing.

And absolutely, earnings are different, in different places. You can buy a whole lot more food with $25 where you are than I can here in the US.
