I don't see anyone with an influence under 55 making any good money. Good content is simply not enough. I'm noticing you gotta network, be smart about how you tag your posts, and make high quality responses on other people who have a lot higher reputation and hope they upvote it/resteem it. The saying it's all about who you know rings true.

And be nice and respectful. Just don't think it happens over night. It's not all about the money. But like in rl, it helps.
