As already mentioned, people are attracted by the fact that they can receive a reward for their work (hobby). And when a newcomer sees the number of rewards that others receive, his eyes light up. And they start writing... about nothing. Yes, it may sound harsh, but in order to attract attention to your work, get readers, and ultimately compensation, you need to give something significant to the platform. Posts in the style of “thoughts about nothing” will not work here. This is of no interest to anyone who doesn't know him or her. Here you need an idea, and it should not be one-time, the content should be regular. You have to try for this. As for me, here I found my cozy place, where I found like-minded people. I make birding observations, take photos and videos, and then share them with the community. All this takes a huge amount of time, and it takes a lot of effort.
Photography is exceptionally time consuming, then collating making sure of detail before sharing, wee bit of research to double check!
Writing into short story line, hopefully relating to the world as it is, never enjoy sharing negative, have also found my enjoyment through sharing nature in this manner.
