I was hesitant to elaborate there, because the relationship between effort and value is quite complex.

For instance, you can put a lot of effort into something, without creating any value for yourself or for others. But it is often true that things of utility need a sufficient amount of compounded effort behind them before they become valuable, otherwise they are common and easy to obtain. Value is necessarily relative.
