I think the consistency is the hardest part. With YouTube it is a ton of work to produce solid content, edit, upload, tag, make descriptions....etc. Then when the money to support yourself could be two years down the line on that it makes it tough for someone to put in the grind when bills are piling up.

Often the best people I see really make it there were people who were subsidized to some respect either by a spouse or they were a kid in high school living with their parents.

It's almost got to be like a 2 year + grind where the majority of your time is focused on social media.

That is the situation I really want to focus on because these huge followings are going to become more and more important as people's attention continues to gravitate away from traditional media and toward independent content creators online.

STEEM is going to be a very important element in that equation!
