Did you know you have more chance of being recognize, and getting rewarded now, then before, like July or August? There were more people on then, and your posts would have been even harder to find. I started in August, and I got noticed by certain people because of the type of content I write about. Check my first posts to see what I mean.
Did you write for Facebook? Or a blog? I did, and for free. Isn't the possibility, than you will make $0.01 from posting, even better than not making anything by posting on another site? When I joined and make $0.00 for my first post, I still saw how better it was than FB, because even on FB no one was paying attention to what I wrote. On Steemit, people actually read it! LOL. I win with people reading, and I win with making rewards. It takes time, and what you post about matters.
Good luck!
Thanks, its true 1 cent is better than zero :)
