We all know that the way to make headway on this platform is with content. If we are to make a name for ourselves and also make this Platform great we have to bring our piece of Uniqueness to the Table
Consistent Content creation is a Hurclean task, I know this because I write almost everyday. But this does not take away the fact that we are living in an era where a huge gateway for various forms of content distribution exist
Running a Video Program some years back would have consumed a lot of resources ranging from personnel to equipments, but it is now as easy as using a selfie stick or just your arms to raise a phone and talk into the Camera
This ease of content creations has also been spread across other form of content creation. This is what makes me wonder why some people still find it hard to create what they believe in
I am writing this majorly for Designers and Video oriented people who feel that they can't keep up with the Speed of text on this Platform. You can always do what you know how to do best and get rewarded for It
Some are already discouraged due to writers block and are already moving towards Steemicide. The reason is that you should not be creating lomg form posts in the first place there are a lot of things that you can do in your area of Strenghts that can inspire and entertain the General community
Document, Don't Create
I believe that the biggest hurdle when it comes to Content creation is the need to create something everytime. You wake up in the Morning and Start cracking your brain of what to post. You will probably end up dropping a Video you say on Youtube that will be "really" beneficial to the Community
Creating content is Important, I do it from time to time. However if you check my blog I do more of documentation.
Documentation simply means creating content from what is happening around you. For you to document however you must have a basic knowledge of what you are documeting about or you won't know how to shape your words
My Blog post are barely a documentation of solutions to Problems most people are facing on this Platform, I am able to document in this way because I already have experience when it comes to online branding
Documention frees up the burden of excess research and lets you talk about things that comes naturally to you. Let me give examples
@papa-pepper is a Farmer, so he blogs daily about his farming activities and has ended up growing a huge community for himself
@timsaid is a Photographer, so he shares amazing pictures and story with his audience
@travelman is an explorer so he tells stories about his encounters on the road
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that you don't have to scour through Google and Youtube daily looking for what to post, you can talk about what you do and people will still listen
If Prisoners Can
Everyday Steem Cleaners and @cheetah, work tirelessly chasing spammers and plagirarist from one end of the Steem Blockchain to the next, and I am left wondering whether this People don't have anything origianl to share with the Community
Even someone who is locked in the prison can still find something Interesting to write about.
Apostle Paul, Boetheius and Martin Luther King Jr are all examples of great Men who created astounding works of art while In Prison, so I don't think that any free Man or Woman has any excuse
The most important thing is for you to know your Lane and work with It and people will be Inspired by your Work. If you are good with Video, wow us with the best vlog we will ever watch if you are a Designer create Comics or any other work of art that will Inspire and entertain people
The most Important thng when it comes to all form of Content creation is Story Telling. Humans are wired for Stories and if you find ways to let Story telling reflect in your work, You will win
Staying In you Lane makes things easier. I have found out that one of the reason of lack of engagement is due to the fact that people just do research on abstract topics and drop a post about it, when they are asked a hard question about the subject by one of their readers, they will not be able to answer the question
So pick up your Phone or Keyboard and give us true tales about what you have experienced. We will like to hear your Story
Thanks For Reading

Well said, my friend.
I remember the feeling you describe of waking up in the morning and wondering what I ought to write about.
The transfer from ought to (researching everyday), to oh joy (writing about your life), was a weight lifting experience. The moment we decide to be real and open our lives to people is the moment true freedom starts walking our way.
That's a Mutual feeling we all share but I constantly remind myself and I want everyone to know too that It is not always about Creating, you can always document and Crush It.

Thank you brother, I picked something very essential this evening from your post, being original remains the key 🔑 in steemit, when I came newly to steemit, I was being tossed by every trend of articles until I discovered that no one can really perform well in his or her strange axis.
That was when i then narrowed my steemit work to what I know best, and believe me, it's working!
Not just the reward, but most importantly, I delight a great measure of joy and fulfillment in what I do now because that's my life, secondly, I am able to carry my fans along as we build together that bond of friendship.
Thanks for reading and sharing your testimony. It always pays to be more authentic.

@maxdevalue Writing on subjects you know or have studied makes blogging easy. It only becomes difficult when you write on subjects on which you have absolutely no idea of.
Exactly!
Document don't create is an awesome way of never running out of contents for your blog. Great tips. Gracias.
Thanks for reading @greenrun
@ogochukwu it is always a pleasure, one day I'd photocopy your brain's content and see if I'd be that consistent in things :)
Lol I live very far from you. And my brain cannot be photocopied. 😂
I heard that London doctors does that well lol 😂
@maxdevalue, to London then 🏃
@ogochukwu brain = money, because that is the only thing hard to be photocopied. Lol
