Well damn, I've got other projects that consume a hell of a lot of time and I still manage to post, read, comment, upvote, flag, etc. =\ If someone is unable to keep up with me, even though I don't really make a whole awful lot from Steemit (yet) then that's their problem, not mine.
ah..but you will, glasshoppah, you will.
Make more from steem that is.
the process is analogous to a nuclear reactor
FIRST you must reach critical mass
THEN the chain reaction occurs.
THEN...reap the rewards..
(little tricks like buying delegation speeds the process up dramatically)
I know, currently now saving up in order to purchase some delegation from BlockTrades.
I think 2 steem is the minimium.
I know, I'm looking to buy far more than 2 steems worth. It's not entirely uncommon for me to attract a whale here and there.
