Do you write every day? You have a daily ritual? Maybe some Voodoo going on to help the success of the post?
I followed a couple of internet people who earned their bread through their emaillists.
Some of them were selling products others made their money with advertising other peoples products.
Nevertheless, they all were writing on a daily basis. To come up with new content.
Before Steemit I had a blog about my poker career. Sometimes I wrote daily updates, sometimes I did not post for months.
So it is save to say I was not really consistent with it.
Most of the time I enjoy writing but I have several articles I started and don`t feel like continuing, at least for now.
One of those email internet people made a very good point
No, that does not mean we should post every random thought our soul pukes out.
But with consistent writing we sometimes write something really good.
Not every article will be our best and sometimes not even good and that is fine.
But with consistent writing, we will get better at it and we will get those original quality content everyone claims to produce all the time.
How do you measure that?
The effort I put in? If I try brain surgery I only get sued because I will fail terrible at it even if I tried my hardest.
The engagement it produces? Maybe, I enjoy it a lot if people discuss with each other over a post of mine as it shows to me I produced something of interest.
At the moment we can probably all agree that it is not the payout! To a degree but just because it is in trending does not mean it should be.
In my humble opinion it is only measurable for myself. I know what I like and I know what I think is shit!
And I hope you, too.
I don`t have a problem with a really good picture getting a lot of votes.
Sometimes I am wondering why certain videos getting upvoted by dtbue but that is none of my business.
I am annoyed by dmania and the plagarism which get upvoted by the bot.
Everyone likes different things and has his own agenda.
Peter only like posts that prove the earth is flat while Anna just want make up tips.
Both think their content or the content they consume is valuable. While I think both is shit.
Actually one more thing...
With dtube,dlive, dmania and dsound and other projects I dont`t know about and others that will come in the future we entered a new age.
I am impressed by the people who come up with content everyday.
I have to admit sometimes it is hard for me to get new ideas especially if you post in one niche.
I am all over the place...maybe this is what it makes it harder but I also enjoy it a lot posting about anything I like and not restricting myself.
So let me ask again. How do you write your original quality content?
