We all know the beginning stage is not easy as a newcomer needs to be patient. Atleast he or she should be getting no matter how little some reward for their resources in terms of time and materials.
I joined the forum and all I told some people around me about it, the next question is," how much have u earned", I was absolutely discourage as I remained mute till date.
I know every beginning is always tough but I will advise you not not to allow the difficulties you come across to let you give up or make you lose focus. You just have to understand that things can be achieved with time and do not fail to learn because it is the knowledge you have that we give you what you want and take to where you want see yourself in the forum. Most people who join the forum in the beginning it was very difficult but they were able to go far because they understands what they want from the forum and they never lose focus. Instead of allowing the difficult beginning make you lose interest instead learn more to have understanding to tackle difficult challenge.
