I see many post making hundreds of dollars per post, then some post making $0.01 per post. In my experience here on Steemit so far, views are very important. This is absolutely great for a marketer or a blogger willing to re create their way.
"marketing trumps all."
I seen girl post pictures of themselves, and people post pictures of girls. The type of pictures you would think get someone to click on your post. But what is it about the content that will make someone stay? Also on other social media sites, you have people going back into the old post, not seeing much of that, but there are not as many users. The payouts must be claimed after a period of I believe a minim of 7 days to each post. The money is there, thing is, is the post?
I have seen people have their hearts turned inside and out and rant on Steemit because they where "bloggers" but could not take the fact the no one was reading their material. That must be hard for someone who thought people where interested in what they had to say. Everyone has a perspective and not everyone can know all the news, so there is no way to monopolize this, everyone can win at it. Look on the bright side, if you make nothing, at least you know, it's time to change up something. Comments are helpful to new bloggers like myself, who blog just because it is more convenient than before. Like how most occupations grow in practice, people are lured into doing it over time and results. So for someone willing to sit down and take this site apart and make it work, it can be done but it would be a lot of effort. But then how much effort is it to get paid to post on the internet. I mean heck, even if you free-write, edit, proof-read, maybe get a second opinion, how much time went into that? When we live in a time when majority of the population is paid by the hour and you are paid by the post, the effort that was so great is actually worth it. When in fact most jobs are not. HEAR ME OUT, jobs are good for the economy and paying bills. Look at it like this, a barber has this client who sells insurance. Neither one wanted the job they got, they just needed one. The barber paid $2-3k to be a barber and makes his wages in cash. The insurance agent pays $2-300 and collects money every month for each policy, plus the commission upfront. SO Could this be the answer to the 9 to 5 grind? And can and should be in your arsenal but most things in life come with a price one is knowing what the fuck you are doing. People like me might not, but how much does it cost to rant or blog or share what you haft to say about whats going on in the world, while on break. Like how some occupations are completely a waste of time, some hold more value by paying gout more and taking less effort. If you are a blogger and cannot make money on here, keep trying because if you where on a job you would haft to do the shit right.
