Are you just posting stuff because you think you'll make money here?
Are you expressing yourself?
Are you saying something to make a difference?
Are you sharing your expertise?
Are you sharing your passion?
I see so many post on Steemit which is really just rubbish content. Doesn't say anything, doesn't have a personal perspective on things, doesn't have a point...
So what I ask you is:
Why?
Having a sense of purpose, understand why you do something can change the direction and the potential results. Maybe you are just experimenting. Maybe a friend told you about this platform and you were curious. Maybe you want escapism. Maybe you have some free time during the day.
Be honest.
Share your story.
Share your thoughts.
Why do you write?
For me, I find that this is kind of a cool place to share my thoughts and tips on music education. Maybe it will reach out to a different audience, maybe it will make me write differently, maybe it will be fun. Who knows... but I know I'm writing to share these thoughts that I hope will make people think about jazz or guitar or music in a different way.
What about you?
