If you focus more on the connections, friends, opportunities and community and less about how much money you're making, you may see this platform for what it is.
First and foremost, it is a blogging site.
Everything after that is a bonus.
How much money do you make on other blogs? So if you make one dollar here, you're already doing better than other blogging sites, other social media.
You were never promised that you'd be able to retire on your earnings after five months.
Flip your perspective 180 and look at the fact that you've earned at least something and probably learned a lot since April when you joined.
If you enjoy your blogging here, stay.
When I tell anyone about Steemit, I always tell them, "You will NOT earn much money, especially to start with, but don't think about money. That is not why you're here."
