I've invited dozens of people to Steemit and most of them try it out. The problem is I keep getting the same answer back from everyone that tries it... "Steemit's Too Hard".
In the last seven days, I've had three people tell me that it is too hard and takes too much time. At the same time, these are the people who post constantly on Facebook and share tons of dumb meme's and half true articles.
I'm tired of the excuse... "It's too hard." I tell them, "You're too lazy."

Writing a blog does take a little work, and takes a little time, but it is an investment. You are investing that time. If you take an hour to write a blog and post it on Steemit, it could make a $1.00. In three years, that $1.00 could be worth $10, who knows?
When people say that Steemit is too hard, it is really them saying they are too lazy.
They don't want to put in the time to make Steemit work. The truth is, using Steemit is easy, but gaining traction is hard. It takes a lot more work than just sharing memes on Facebook. It takes perseverance and your own thoughts. The thing is, working towards growing your Steemit account will pay off in the future. The effort will pay off, and that doesn't happen on Facebook.
After almost a year, I can tell you that growing your Steemit is hard, but that isn't why a lot of people are not doing it. The reason is they are lazy, and at this point, I'm ok with them missing out on all the great rewards that Steemit users and crypto holders will receive in the future.
What reasons do your friends give you after they try and leave Steemit?
