... and why you should keep posting!
As you may noticed, I'm actually starting out great on this website.
I had a featured post, I had some cool reward (7$ for my introduction and 3.70$ for my first week post), so you could have thought "he is so lucky".
But, like anyone on this platform, I have my zero.
Meaning I have my post with a cool 0.00$ under the bell.
Why you should experiment taking risks
I'm not feeling bad for that content.
It was a wrong type of content and now I know that. And that's exactly what's important on this platform.
Take risks.
Take risks.
Take risks.
When you write on here and when you chat on here, you're not aiming for cents. You're not on a PTC site where they promise you a monthly earning of 5$ (wooooow).
You're on into a brand new project that could bring the "best of both worlds" (content creation and rewards). So please: keep trying.
If that result in a 0.00$ don't worry too much. Write to enjoy yourself too, so if the experiment won't give you money, at least it would have give you fun.
Why you should not focus on a small niche
If you ever took part in some online activities, you sure know well what a "niche" is.
Basically, it's a targeted group of members searching for something. "Money online" is a niche, "Cook guides" is a niche - and so on.
But we're not here to have our blog.
Google doesn't give a shi* about Steemit. Because Google doesn't like multi-niches websites. They're general and its algorhitm doesn't know hot to catalogue them well.
But we're on Steemit.
So we are on a social media platform involving the production of some sort of contents. Mainly blog posts.
That's different.
Here, you can talk about food and money in the same profile and no one is going to hate you for that. And I think the main reason is because we're social here.
You can obtain better results focusing on a niche, probably. But that's not fun for me!
You follow a person because you like his/her profile in general, not because you only like the topic he/she writes about.
PS: that's just my opinion and I can get discredited by datas or facts. Please, if you don't agree with me, show some evidence to prove I'm wrong. If I am, I'll do a "repairing thing" article.
Why you should focus on your following
Your following is your general niche.
It's the group of people that likes your post and they are willing to give you their attention. That's not a small thing: they're giving you their time.
And they're investing their time because they think your content is valuable for them.
They want to learn or discover something.
So: focus on that. Don't write just for yourself. Write as an influencer. Write for your community.
and that's why... you shouldn't focus on that 0.00$
After all of that, you got the point.
You got that the 0.00$ doesn't mean anything about your value or your contents.
It's just a signal to keep focusing on the platform and on your following.
To keep improving your content, to keep entertaining your users.
Do that everyday with constintency and you're getting results. At least, that's how it works anywhere else in life and on the internet.
See ya!
