People expecting to make thousands of dollars with little time or effort invested in steemit are going to fail in the long run big picture view of steemit. They tend to be the same ones who try hard twice and then start to claim that Steemit is a ponzi scheme, or that whales are collaborating to enrich themselves.
(Note that whales votes are a token of approval for what is posted. If they upvoted sub par content, not only does that discourage writers who spend days creating content, but in the long run will hurt quality).
It is possible to have a 15K dollar post, but if that is your only goal in posting, you will almost surely come away disappointed.
That being said I have formulated a way to ensure getting at least $26,130.99. It won't be easy, but if you possess the "breasteses" of Brenda and the "Crypto-brilliant handsomeness" of Jeff, I will guarantee that payday or I will personally double your money!
(Not really in case they decide to someday have a child together and financially ruin me).

Oh man, I can't unsee this. :P
Did Brenda borrow your shirt Jeff? - I really like the color - you gotta show her that pic she'll probably think you might be her long lost twin bro ;-)
I'm secretly hoping both @brendazambrano and @dollarvigilante both weigh in (although in all honesty, I would be totally ok if only Brenda did)
(Wow didn't see the latter already posted lmao, I can get you a limited edition centerfold of this if you wish @dollarvigilante or two if you (and your wife?) may wish to have separate ones).

BTW great podcast! I listened to it last night and I truly enjoyed how you almost accidentally made $15K with no knowledge of what was going on haha. Great interview with @ned and @dan. Maybe you can do a post on Spells of Genesis sometime, since I am now a subscriber to your podcast. Feel free to mention this picture on the podcast, as it will make at least one listener smile :)
Damn, Jeff! You've got nice boobs!
Dammit, I wish I had thought to do this. +100!
Haha! And we thought Kim K broke the internet - She doesn't have anything on Brenda Berwick. I'd be happy to help you out with some Photoshop pictures or ideas as I think our humor is consistently on the same level.
That is pretty rough on the eyes...
