$1.50 is the most I have made off a post am I doing anything wrong :-)

Im Digging Steemit I just feel like I am missing something. I post alot of original content and I see posts that are bots scrapping other pages making 7x 16x what some of the posts are making ?

I wish they had a good TIP video that wasn't some one trying to plug there own stuff or abusing Steemit with some auto add crap.

Any tips Thanks for the input.
