I spent a lot of time going that route back in 2009 to 2014 when that is what you needed to do. In fact, I found steemit as a way to get links to one of my blogs to help it rank. It's pretty amazing that hive exists and allows us to earn. I don't think I could ever just start a blog on it's own domain again lol

We have seen the light.
I've done the wordpress.
Tried fiverr.
Tried other sites but nothing comes close to hive for content creation.
It took a couple of years to get established but that is the same on any platform.
The benefit here is that no money was needed, just time to build up a profile. And it was much harder in STEEM. If i joined leo today it would all be a lot easier than four years ago.

You're right about all of what you've said. It is certainly easier now, especially if you reach some sort of tipping point where your vote becomes meaningfull. I'm still trying to get there.
