I had a blog with 40 posts and the problem with blogs is — nobody sees your work. Just like in any platform may it be Medium, Steemit and others. People just don’t see your work.
Websites where there are a lot of people writing bury your content and it doesn’t get seen. So I assume you have to be consisted and shit, but that’s absolutely not true. I’ve been writing on Medium and had posts that go viral. It really doesn’t matter if you have the following or if you don’t
When you write posts for Medium or Steemit, your posts have to be picked by the community, in Medium’s case the curators or editors — I don’t know.
There’s just no platform for new writers. Every platform is unfair and you are left to write on your own blog.
Making a viral post is extremely hard. But I have made a few. Here on Medium and of course, I have deleted them because I got frustrated.
Writing your blog for years is nonsense, I’m here on Medium for instant gratification. Consistency isn’t my cup of tea.
As a writer, I choose a platform so that my work would be seen, but after writing for years and years I haven’t found a platform where new writers can share their stuff. Steemit is run by bots, medium — well, if your stuff isn’t picked your post is doomed.
This post I write now is doomed, because nobody will see it.
I don’t want to write for years. Here on Medium I had 500 followers, barely somebody saw my texts. That’s why most writers quit, because they get frustrated when people who write shit get all the glory and people who write casually get nothing.
All these platforms don’t encourage writing.
Medium claims that the platform is built for writers and readers, but as far as I know — it’s built for the content mafia :(
