'get paid for quality content' is true but as you said that there are far too many forces at play to justify a statement that simplistic. Particularly when we look for niche content providers. You made some incredibly valid points.
Some of these content creators could soon loose their desire for legwork since there content doesn't get the attention they wanted.
As an example I have seen some content creators who just post pictures of their hobbies now. Although if we scroll down their blog page, one could find that their earlier posts had a lot of written and art content as well. It is easy to ascribe this deterioration to laziness but I think other things at play here as well.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It all depends what kind of legwork the entrepreneur has done. By only writing good content but not interacting on other posts will get you nowhere!
I also see a lot of people who do buy their posts up in the trending but don’t take the time to respond on the comments they are getting.
We all know that it is hard to get noticed! It needs dedication!
But I can relate to the things you are addressing!
This is true but what I also find is that people limit their legwork to what they are comfortable in doing. I know, i did this too and wondered why I wasn't getting engagement.
I see this too and it talks about their willingness to invest. Don't get me wrong, this is a social media still so there is room for that but, some people also start and end with that. Some lose interest in it very fast also. If they are really interested in their hobby, the reward shouldn't matter. If rewards matter, then they may have to explore a little further afield.
There is definitely the laziness factor. A post or a couple with nothing but a snapshot might actually be appreciated if a person posts frequently.
Loss of willingness in one's own work can be seen by the readers/followers. A question like 'Will I follow myself?' can bring some of our own slack to light.
