Awesome experiment.
I try to follow your guidance or instructions, whatever you call it, about comments. I can't say I have earned 25SP, but whenever I am regular, I have seen that I earn at least 5-6 SBD in a week, even more I think. Given my relative inexperience and low rep to start with, I think that's quite good.
In fact comments kept me alive for the first few weeks and had it not been for comments, I think it would have been much more difficult for me to maintain the motivation and focus. The initial earnings from comments gave me the impetus that I needed. And off course, comments gave me most of my followers.
Thanks for this awesome advise which I discovered pretty early in my Steemit journey.
And your rep is getting higher. Every upvote adds to it...even in comments.
You will soon be in the 50s with your rep.
As for the return, 5-6 SBD is $25-$30 in a week..just for leaving comments on a website...not a ton of money but more than those people on Facebook are making.
Absolutely agree, who would pay me a penny for doing anything on FB unless I run a business there?
And even then, many who run businesses on Facebook dont make any money.
On here, someone can make money the first day by posting comments. It might not be a ton but it is most likely more than FB or YouTube paid.
Yes, though my earnings are pretty low as of now, I have earned here much more than the blogs I used to write and got paid in pennies through Google Adsense.
I am confident that I will be able to increase my earnings over the comings weeks and months. The system works like compound interest, earnings should ideally keep increasing for a long time to come. Hoping for the best :)
This is the golden nugget@svkrulze that most many miss. Everything we do on here does compound. One should make more the second month than the first....and even more the third than the second.
As long as the activity is consistent and the focus remains the same. Each SP that goes into ones account makes the VP worth more. This gives one greater impact on the entire ecosystem. A rep of 25 a month ago is now 45...an account of 15 SP is now 40 SP...etc...
Plus we get the compounding effect from the growth of the steem blockchain itself.
