Here is one truth that will set you free but first it's going to piss you off. Most of us have been here for less than a year now and we want to have $1000 plus rewards on our post. We don’t bring in anything valuable and yet, we want to reap rewards big time.
Isn't that funny ? We only want to take money out of the system but do not want to invest in it. We write posts on how we want to help and yet do nothing about that. We have got to learn the ways of this system. It's quite simple to me. VALUE IN, VALUE OUT. And to those who have been begging for upvotes, it's pathetic, stop that before you get flagged. Most whales on this platform are people who have invested their hard earned fiat currencies into their Steempower and they will only consider upvoting your post if they feel like it. Nobody owes anyone anything on this platform but if you are willing to put in the work, you will get far here.

There are a few people who are willing to risk it all for steemit and those are the folks making it big here. A perfect example is @jerrybanifield, a guy who has dedicated so much time into teaching people how to succeed on this platform and aside from that, he has been investing everything he gets back into his Steempower (the system).
And there you are,someone who will without thinking twice withdraw the least amount of SBD you make here.
I understand that you might be having a hard time financially but guess what, even the whales sometimes face such situations. Get in touch with them to learn their ways of managing their finances and stop begging them for support. Let them know you are worth their vote.
