RE: Five minute free write - wasps
You can write in a car? I get immediately motion sick when I look down even for a minute...

It depends. Sometimes I'm a wreck if I look at electronics, others, doesn't bother me at all. Luckily, didn't bother me then. Got another chapter of my Burning Blade saga written, hehe.
good for you!! Hope you are getting the votes coming in and can start living off your craft!
Been a weird slowdown over the last couple weeks. Got a Curie vote on some of my hiking content, but no other big votes. Figuring out how to tailer my approach so that I can continue to write what I want, but actually get the business of it running properly. Hard to get many consistent people coming through with everyone trying to be awesome to everybody, hehe. Looking into SP delegation, curation trails, starting either a writing or photography contest to get more motion.
It is difficult - I certainly haven't cracked the big bucks secret. A lot of it is to stick with it. Have you checked out the Sandbox? I am not a member but see that many get some pretty good support through them...
No, not yet. But I'll check them out. I think there is a method to making money off of here. A balance between community, creation, and proper use of bots and trails. After all, the point is build up the Steem Power to get a stronger vote. For yourself and your friends.
And since most of the big voters are either renting/loaning/giving/ their SP out, getting one of them to regularly vote on your content is too much of a crap shoot. Also, there doesn't seem to be a big correlation between # of followers and big votes, so trying to make money by getting people to be there doesn't seem to be effective.
Things like your daily free write get interaction, and so do photo contests, especially if you make it a rule to upvote and resteem. But that's not going to get any real votes from the big players, because they'll vote, but turn the % way down. So you get bunches of little up's, but that's it. Some get huge votes, but that's usually a self or bought vote.
Philanthropy gets a lot of interaction, but then again most of that money goes back into the project.
We dream of a perfect community, but figuring out how to make it actually work...that's a different story. Capitalism, as much as we hate the form it has become, still does rule here. Though there are a lot of people fighting against it.
