As a beginner even when they write long and meaningful articles, it will still take some time for them to be discovered. But for sure with consistency, they will be. But the issue is most of them (same with people I introduced) just have this ponzi scheme mindset. And after a few post, got discouraged and walk away.
Patience and commitment is the key.
Yes they fail to understand that an article posted without a following is operating in isolation. It simply does not get seen. That is one challenge that many of us hope is resolved some with communities.
Either way, those people are missing out. They will come back a year from how kicking themselves for the time they lost.
Hahahahaha, just like @yagoub is kicking himself in the head in his comment above.
Yeah there are many with the same story.
It is a common thing around here.
We all have those opportunities in life when we look at something yet do not quite realize what we are looking at.
Steem is that way.
