RE: To The Talented New Writers - Don't Write for The Money! - 'The Game' and my Final Advice
If you're on steemit chat, I sent you a message. I'm glad that someone can relate, I'm sure there are many out there. Some had already probably left...
Believe me, I don't have a job, it's because I came back from a long-term travel. I wrote those experiences, and wow. Big rewards. I thought this was it.
I continued writing for the love of it. Like you, I have also improved. I earned some money to keep me going, so I'm happy enough. But a part of me feel used and hurt lol, because I was a big believer lol.
I'm pretty sure this post will not go out there again. Let people live the illusion.
Anyway, I'm happy with my new friends here. :)
Yeah, I put myself way out there. Thinking that's what it takes to succeed on here, stupid me. My new attitude is inline with both of yours. But I'll let my travel photos do the work for me. If I can get a few bucks a post, I'll offer up a few minutes of my time throwing up some photos and a paragraph. That's more of a balance trade of time for money that I can accept. Especially wen lunch is a dollar fifty in Thailand. I was just going to do something similar on facebook for free anyway so I'm trying to figure out what's worth 2 dollars of my time. On a further note it has been interesting meeting people on here and transferring that into real life as I travel the world. Keep up the good work.....or not lol! ;)
Haha yeah, keep up the good work or not. It's pretty hard because people put their emotion and all that, maybe because of the money. But those who remained supporting and reading your content, are the only ones who really care.
Good thing there's $3 Pad Thai there haha. And yes, a lot of interesting people here. No more 100% power up for me I guess lol.
Ha ha. Right. So I couldn't get it out of my head my third world steemit analogy. So I did a post on it, just to see if I get a reaction from anyone. It's probably way down on the list already and not many will see it. But here's the link, you may get a kick out of it. On that note. I'm going for a walk :) and maybe some Padthai and for the record it's generally under two dollars! lol
