My last payout from post was 8.52$. That was 10.27$ when i posted it. The steem price decreases as well as my payout. I was so much upset. I just got barely near to 3 SBD from this post and some SP. As i was not old user and very little investor in steemit so it make me disappointed. Also for last some bid bots i got lose. So i decided to leave steemit for a while. But after that i am thinking give up is not the solution and i can not stay longer without steemit. So my mind returned to it. After that i posted some and using bid bots i got some votes too. Don't know what will be the payout is, but i wanted to attach with the steemit and the users.
Do you know how many people would be excited about $8.27 for content that likely holds little value outside of SteemIt?
You need to adjust your expectations.
I am glad you are working at finding a way to make it work.
This is not my regular payout amount :) . Before some days i brought 20 SBD from a friend with my pocket money and start to invest little by little in a post. The biggest one was may be 21$. Then continuously getting less and less from payout and now this is the situation that my recent payout is about 1-2$ in average. I am with steemit with a hope that one day my SP will reach to a level when i don't have to think about lose. Also i like to donate in good project and shares votes to users :)
