At times I think about rewards. A week ago I made a post(it had a payout today) that had a total payout of $4.69. So I was glad about that. But at the same time I am a hoarder. Of art supplies, of HP. At this rate it is possible that I will never cash out and use my HP stake. So in a weird way the size of rewards matters little. Some days like yesterday total payout of my post was $0.58. Today it is $4.69...I would likely still keep posting what I like without cashing out even if every post of mine would earn 50-100 author rewards. I also still post on facebook despite not getting any money from that at all. So for me getting a few decent comments is perhaps even more important than the size of reward that I may or my not ever use.😛 Maybe important is the wrong word to use. relevant is probably a better choice of words. Few days ago on facebook one person praised my newest piece. In the past she had said that she would not buy art from someone who is self-taught. She still did not offer to buy that piece. But she said: how beautiful!!! congratulations.
Knowing that someone likes what I do is at times more rewarding than getting huge payouts.I still want to earn more and much more frequently from what I create. But some days kind words are enough.
