Finding a community that appreciates you for you is the key most struggles new or old. Many newer people might show up and write some really amazing stuff early on. Over a few weeks that drops as they don’t see it being worth their time.

The community I’m involved in Archdruid Gaming try’s our best in the gaming tag to find decent to amazing writers and at least give them a place to share their work. Many strike up some conversions with some other fellow gamers and hopefully grow. Many even take that opportunity and really step up and start giving back as well and try to spread opportunity around.

Still this requires people to find them. It requires them to click that discord link to join and do more than just say “hi” once in our general channel.

Many just want remain in their shells and not leave there blog for anything. Those kind of people will never read the blogs out there telling them they need to go out and explore. Sometimes there just nothing you can do to help them out.

I don’t know how many times I’ll talk with someone and it’s always “well if I think of anything I think people would like I might join/write about it.” Then I go into our feed and try to find a post I think they really want write similar to and I link it or the most geeky thing I can find. Then they realize that just being yourself and writing what you want to is all it takes. Yes, it won’t have some crazy wide range of audience like some subject. Those wider subjects are always the perfect way for a new persons to get 100% lost in the sea of everyone else doing the same exact thing.

If nothing else I just wish they would comment more often. Hard to find out about opportunity if you are not at least doing that.
