I joined that same club! But when I got less-than-meager earnings on my posts, I had to accept the fact that making money in Steemit is not as glorious as it sounded. I had to change my perspective. I have never written so much in my entire life until I found Steemit. And for that, I am thankful. My writing has improved although not as comparable to yours ;-) but I have learned so much in this platform. And that, is more than money to me.
