Everything in your post makes sense.
I have spent much time looking at the get rich guru's, guess what you don't unless you are exceptionally lucky.
I am new to steemit, and I like what I see, if money does accumulate it would make me happy if it does not I will still be happy.
I like the format here, and I do like to write, how well I do this is the question. But I have a determination and a willingness to improve my writing skills.
So following your advice concentrate on the writing, if money comes, as a result, I will not refuse.
