-dear consumers
According to Google dictionary, a consumer is
-a person who purchases goods & services for personal use-. I’m sure you can think of a few things you’ve bought that you enjoy. Now when I say, consumer, I also mean it in a sense of what are you taking in or eating. You know what it means to consume or eat food but what about the activities that you are engaged in that are consuming your life?
How much time do you spend
- on your facebook feed
- watching youtube videos
- reading your emails
- watching television
- checking Instagram, snap chat, or WhatsApp.
- playing video games
- loafing around
You know I ’m not saying these activities are wrong but if it is getting in the way of you producing meaningful content or you’re using it to fill a void in your life then you must revert.
It’s funny as I ’m typing this post I am listening to youtube and an add just played for ”google now” and I ’m thinking to myself this is how they get us. They tell us that we need to
- Go to university
- Loan up
- Work a 9-5 job in an office
- Buy a car, apartment or house
- Get that flatscreen tv
- Get that 4k flatscreen tv with ”google now”
- Keep up with the Joneses.
Well I ’ve got news for the ”Joneses” their way of living was in an era long past (40’s -60’s) and we are entering a new era of production
We are now becoming the producers of change instead of the recipient of it. With the advancement of technology and the worldwide web, we are gradually taking control of our lives and some of us are teaching others how to do the same. The era of going to work in a 9-5 job for 40 years and retiring and getting a gold watch is coming to an end. And as with all change, there are ”growing pains” so instead of consuming content you should be producing it and the platforms already exist for distribution.
Youtube
Facebook
Instagram
WordPress
wix and weebly.com among others
twitch.com
steemit.com
Just to name a few created by producers to convert consumers into content creators. Take advantage of what they have given you so you can attain success which is
doing what you want, when you want and how you want without anyone’s permission
So stop being a consumer and start being the producer of your life.-sincerely (producer) Remelsy
