RE: A month of posting on PublishOX - Dismal earnings, but not an entirely negative experience!

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Mind you it's still well below minimum wage even just by cutting pasting across!

How hard do you think is it for people to make $5 from their own blog? That's even not accounting for expenses they run.

Even just getting 3k views in a month is a challenge many never achieve.

Even if it's only $3, earned in your first 30 days with a new "blog", that's revolutionary. In the past there have been few platforms who shared revenue with authors... Where are they now? #RIP

For someone who hasn't been multiple years on a platform, most often is inexperienced in traffic building, and has as comparison only a self-hosted platform $3 from self-plagiarism is fkn amazing.

That said, Hive is the better earning platform for those who have invested time in building their network but comparisons are not fair. Most people get 0.02 at best, pre-curation split, after their first two posts. What we make on our posts, after 3 years of activity on the platform and knowing how everything works, is NOT the experience of new members. Hive will outperform p0x for newcomers... if you know about #introduceyourself and #gems/ocd/communities. If not... good luck making even $3.

Yes fair points all.

I could only write from my personal experience, I don't have access to the data to make like for like comparisons.

The reason I don't generally shill Hive as an earnings platform is that I know what it's like being new hear - you're certainly not looking at $10 a post!

I don't think most people are looking for $10/post. That's already semi-professional rate. If you look at freelance platforms you can find top notch quality for $15 already, and that's with a middleman and also PayPal. Those would be among the top percentile of authors on Hive quality-wise.

Currently, those aiming for more have multiple years of mileage already and a portfolio with previous publications in MSM. And, they are all being sacked and totally happy for Substack currently. But, often, that's also yet another level of quality again. And, of course, they need to build their newsletter up too. No visitors, no subs. Enjoy whoring yourself out on FB, IG, and Twitter.
And, the more people try out Substack, the more will be disappointed about their earnings because many won't get 10 subs for months.

I've never heard of Substack.

I am painfully aware that blogging earnings aren't sustainable, this is why I'm a little obsessed with buying some land and getting my cost of living down!
