It is a lie that Steem/crypto content gets the votes any differently than other content. Sure, while some get highly rewarded, the majority of crypto/steem stuff gets close or spot on nothing as there is a mountain of it out there. There is no way I can compete with technical content or market content, so I had to create my own space between by mashing life and Steem, creative and photographic and all the other things blended in. If it was so easy to earn writing Steem content, everyone would be doing earning from it.
Make your place, earn your place.
"Make your place, earn your place."
I like that one.
There are plenty of common misconceptions out there. As I said in the post, that market is over-saturated and if people jump in thinking something like generic information will get them places, without ever adding in their own personal touch, they're in for a world of hurt. Then it turns into posts about how the platform is broken.
Once that consumer base is established, one can branch out into all kinds of things. Some people follow my blog for the art, some like the writing, some like the humor, some like posts like this one. Then there are those who like it all. Shit, dude, I've even tried my hand at poetry, yet I'm still afraid to call myself a poet. LOL! I called myself an artist here before I took the time to show off some of my skills though...
Establishing the base is the time consuming part most aren't willing to go through. Of course, most aren't artists, entrepreneurs, traders, developers, creative... People have to find their own thing.
Time consuming and damn never every move you make contributes to it. Even these comment sections and conversations. One might gain a new follower for life for something they said in response to someone else, who also gained the same follower, for something they did or said. Time well spent, if building the base is something you want.
Everyone has their own thing. I don't even write about a lot of the things that make me. You had no idea I like golf and fishing.
haha true yep!! :]
