The one I get often is...
"it just sounds too difficult and too complicated..."
or different variations of that...
Basically people seem to just want free money... with no effort... that is my final conclusion.
I do think if we could make it more like facebook where people could post their cat pictures and earn a couple bucks or a couple cents or whatever, it would be a lot more attractive to the masses... most people don't have the time or desire to blog in long form...
:snort: you said log form lol
Sorry. I'm punchy and only had 4 hours sleep - the juvenile escaped for a moment. :P
Ahem Getting serious again...
I've been thinking about trying an initiative/challenge to onboard ONE friend (or adopt a newbie). Hold their hand in teaching markdown or using the editor. Dedicate a couple of my liquid earnings from a set amount of posts to boost their wallet. Show them how to power up or create a wallet. Those were all new things for me. Thankfully I've been blogging since the 90s or I might not have made it. But you've got people like @karenmckersie and @karenb54 who never did any of it and they are doing rather well. What was in the kool-aid when they drank it?
Haha oops! Edited. That is one of my favorite movies by the way. It's a baby ruth bar!
Those are some good thoughts... I mean it can be done. Look at us, we did it without any prior experience but we stuck with it longer than most people probably are willing to. I think it took me close to 2 months before I ever had a post go over $2 in value...
OK I am here poking around like you asked!!!!!!
What are the best 2-3 posts for me to find/read about all this VIVA stuff
