You are making it happen!
It's great to see your success here. I talked to my brother, who is an artist, about Steemit. I can tell he has near zero interest in doing anything on Steemit. He has his plan and he's going with that.
I have talked with other people who have opened accounts and written some posts. The more "techy" a person is, the more likely they are to be interested in Steemit and crypto-currency. That's been my experience. However, I know some very "techy" people who are not interested in it all.
You took action and it has certainly paid off well for you. I'm glad I also took action and got started about six months ago.
Honestly I think I am a weird kind of artist, because I like to make projects come true and make good profit from them. I am always thinking about the benefit vs. the cost even in other aspects of my life. Most artists I met don't have this... they are more "bohemian" and they just care about little things, living life daily.
I don't know if I described your brother well or bad, but this may be the reason, he just don't care about giving a step forward in terms of money and development.
And here in Steemit, I can assure you that techy people have way more chances than me to earn money, you just have to follow these skills with a good writing skills and social ones as well and try to establish contact with whales and curators =)
I saw your wallet and you are doing fine, you will see that the more you got, the easier it will be for you =)
