Agreed! You have perhaps heard of the old truism-- I think it was the title of a book, even: "Do what you love, the money will follow."
I think that's the best approach around here. Build your community; build your "personal brand," and if you do that well... you will end up getting rewarded.
I think people tend to forget that the content THEY are attracted to reflects a poster's passions... not "I'm worried about making money."
Unless, of course, a person is just "a mindless automaton." I don't have any good advice for "mindless automatons."
Exactly..
"Do what you love" I am a firm believer of that.
And I feel strange as I am hanging around with people full of greed, always thinking about the next clever post to make to get some quick dollars.
Again I would stick to my Minimalist Photos whether it makes money here or not.
Because I do not want to create content with a prior thought in my mind as to how much money that content will make.
I do not want to dilute the purity of my Art. Never, even for a Million Dollars.
I otherwise know how profitable it is to post about CryptoCurrencies, Sunset Shots, Cute Pet Pictures, Food Blogging, etc etc..
On the surface, we can argue that "there is room for everyone" on Steemit. That only makes sense, as we have a certain pride in the idea that there is "no censorship" here.
Fine.
But we also have a responsibility-- and I mean we ALL have that-- to maintain the best health of the community as a whole. If the landscape becomes too dominated by the "make money" crowd, the underlying quality that makes Steemit attractive in the first place suffers...and the platform may slowly die.
Agreed
Hey..I'm not mindless..;)
I would never even say Hi to these clever Greedy people in real life.
Good :)
