Been there , doing that. It is amazing how accurate ths post is. The money is all well and good, however the time, passion and research, in many cases, bears no fruit. If you have a whale reading and commenting on your stuff, them you are pretty well set. No power user reading or commenting on your stuff means no expanded exposure. Many are called, but few are chusen. Just like real life in many ways. Good luck
