I understand how you feel bud. Let me try to help. Your labor will be rewarded. In fact, the more you do honest commenting, and posting content rich material, the more you will be earning.

I know it is hard to believe right now, but you have to be patient. This is an exponential pay-off. Right now you have very little steem working for you, but as you work and develop steem, you will be rewarded more for your posts and interactions.

Pretty soon you will have to work less to produce more, have more to invest, and have more time to help other steemians.

Good Luck!
