Haha I still don't get why people are still asking this question! There are no shortcuts in life.. Even at the workplace, most of us have to work our way from a junior position to a manager, and our salary starts low and goes up with time.

I think we are all would be happier if we don't put too much attention on getting upvotes, and not have expectations about them. Having lesser upvotes doesn't mean one's content is not good too.
